My Boots are Bigger Than Yours!

About Me

Angry, shy tough-girl. I am the west coast's DJ Medusa. Whiskey, Spaten and good music keep me sane.

I'm highly opinionated and stand firm that irony for fashion's sake sucks ass. Really, the ironic too-small t-shirt with mesh trucker cap look can go away now.

Distorted Disco, my on-line weekly radio show is on a short hiatus. It will be returning on a new day and time someday soon. In the meantime, don't be afraid to check out Sykoradio's other DJs:

Past playlists are found on my LJ.

BOOKMARK SYKORADIO.NET IN YOUR MP3 PLAYER IF YOU LOVE ME! (or at least love what I play)

Edit: as of March 29th, '06 I am still on hiatus with no definite plans on returning to Sykoradio. I'm open to suggestion, though, if anyone wants me to come back. Drop me a message with time and day suggestions if you have any.
------------------------------------------------------------ ----

I am also a resident DJ for Dementia located at Mt. Tabor Legacy in Portland

Check out my music profile for more info on when, where, and what I sound like when I play the DJ:

(nevermind, I think I might have met him. ;) )

Really now, do I want to meet people with this thing?

DISLAIMER: I am not a random friend collector. If I do not not know you personally I'm more than likely not going to approve your friend request. C'mon, people, what ever happened to introductions before jumping into a "friendship"? Random bands can still try to add me, as well as people interested in the Portland goth/industrial scene. I'll at least check you out. Racists and other small-minded assholes need not apply.

Who’s wearing the birthday pants now?

Thanks for all the birthday wishes so far. :) This is a reminder, I'll be at Rogue at 5 pm for my birthday yard followed by the new Dechutes Brewing. It'll probably be off to Hive at Plan B after that...
