My Interests

Music, music and more music. I dig heavy rock, old school jazz, gothic, shoegaze, and anybody good tunes. I tend to like stuff that's a little challenging so I don't bother with a lot of pop and radio crap. The bands I usually to play in tend to be people who do what they do because they like it first and hope other people will too. Sometimes that can be a challenge but hey, you have to be able to look your self in the mirror, right.
