Music, Music and Music. Is there anything else? If you don't have music you don't have anything!I enjoy EBM, industial, synth-pop, trance and electro-pop music. But honestly listen to everything. My collection is very eclectic and if you don't know what that means then you need to expand your mind and open your ears because it isn't all just noise.
First loves in music were Helen Reddy, Elton John and Johnny Cash-The Man In Black (the original Darksider). In my teens I was heavily influenced by new wave and loved Madonna, Duran Duran, Blondie, INXS, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, A Flock Of Seagulls, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Psychedelic Furs, Talk Talk, Madness, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, Front 242, Ministry, Devo, The Ramones, The Fixx, Tom Petty....
Growing up in the world of music, my father is a booking agent and manages a few bands, as well as producing concerts at Trout Air in Minnesota. There I hung out back stage and tried to stay out of the way or find ways to help out. I learned a lot about producing shows and what the LIVE MUSIC life is really all about. I found out that some bands are just normal people and others are assholes who think they are something bigger than human.
As I got older my musical tastes have narrowed a bit but I still love a broad range of music. My favorites now are Moby, VNV, Covenant, Rotersand, Icon Of Coil, FLA, CombiChrist, Glis, De/Vision, XPQ 21, Apoptygma Bezerk, Assemblage 23, Curve, Clan Of Xymox, Wolfsheim, Cold Play, Crystal Method, Prodigy, Hooverphonic, Juno Reactor, Underworld, Imperative Reaction, Soman, Mono No Aware, Negative Format, Suicide Commando, System Syn and HELIOSPHERE and on and on and on.
