Itchy Richie

I really don't think we have time for a handjob, Joe.

About Me

I'm Richard, better known to the world as my Mr. Hyde-esque alter-ego Itchy Richie (while there is some debate that I'm Rich, Tank, Unkle Johnny, or Dick, depending on which groups you speak with). I'm currently in the midst of making my way through the music business with The UBA and Black Wax Midget, and I'm enjoying every minute of that. I also act/help with production work for Fifth Floor Pictures and D7 Studios. I have been kicking around the idea of/kind of working on/sitting on my ass thinking about Studio Idle Idol, a record label to release all of my friend's projects on. On top of all that, I have a dreary day-job like everyone else.

This obviously means that I do not believe in free time.

My Interests

Music in all forms, film, art, cigars, business, electonics, hookah, philosophy, poetry, prose, arguing, beer, wine, and various other things.

Homework Assignment.

Go home one night, get drunk (not fuckin' violent shitty drunk, but nice and mellowed, wine would be best for this) and listen to one of your favorite albums straight through. You'll thank me.
