About Me

about to...

My Interests

CREATION: Art, Liturature, Music, bands i (have) play(ed) with:Send for Help (www.sendforhelpmusic.com). it's ghost still walks these halls...winechuggers (winechuggers.com) baby bombed, but working on next record none the less.there's also my good friend kate klaire, when we find the time to record whith brian miller. just finished an album(!) both are genius' in their craft. her voice makes me feel as though all of my skin has been peeled off and i'm looking in the mirror. AND the blacks. http://www.myspace.com/theblacksarehere i did a 3 song e.p. last year. guitar, drums and hand claps - like if a misanthropic patti smith fronted love and rockets. SEXXXY!! soon to dominate your love life. AND my pal Charles Gonzales. i did my ringo thing on his mellow garage thing. he's already got a newer record out. iwas also in elephone during the ice age: http://www.myspace.com/elephone

I'd like to meet:

movers. shakers. music makers.

Music:

all of it. now!

Movies:

lost in translation, electric dreams, empire of the sun, the fifth element, memento, miller's crossing, donnie darko, sunshine of the spotless mind, Hero. concert flix.

Television:

is a killer. a happy killer.

Books:

or rather, magazines, but i'm trying: Beatles:Anthology. everyday. A Fan's Notes by Frederick Exeley. sadly righeous noble drunk at his wittiest. sets the standard. Blood Meridien by Cormac McCarthy. Just finished Pop. 1280. both hyper-violent/old-west/southern/slice of life novels from my brother for xmas. what gives? Just finished Adverbs by Daniel Handler (aka lemony snicket) AGAIN. amazing shorts for adults about love in all its myriad forms. plus all the letters ever strung together by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in sentence form. Also working my way through Haruki Murakami's catalog. currently: short story collection. and check out *Jesus Land* by Julia Scheers, a former schoolmate/neighbor. Harrowing and touching stuff, well written.

Heroes:

all dead. long live the dead!
