short, fat, bald and ugly

About Me

I'm a short, fat, bald, ugly, unsuccessful, unprofessional, financially insecure, emotional wreck, golddigging, unromantic, humorless, single male couch potato looking for a female spud with no growth potential.
I'm younger than Methuselah, better looking than Quasimodo, taller than Tom Thumb and in better physical shape than a 200 year old man. Most of the body parts I still retain are mostly functional. I have a face made for radio, and a voice made for silent movies. My IQ is higher than my body temperature.
Some of my favorite activities include: eating regularly, and living indoors.
I must have a sense of humor because I laugh whenever I look in the mirror.
p.s. As of February 2006 I started doing a surf / instrumental internet radio show for Octane Radio. If you have an instrumental tune that you would like me to play on my show, please contact me here, or at my web site at: http://www.chromeoxide.com/radio/ .
In an effort to be timely, I will be broadcasting live performances that I am recording the week after they happen. Because I live in Los Angeles, I expect to have access to live music for most of the summer.
When I am not broadcasting my live recordings, I will try to give priority to new recordings, demo recordings, and your own live recordings.
If you don't currently have recordings of your band, and you are in the Los Angeles area, I am available to record your band.
p.s.s. As of March 28, 2008 I am now the official taper for Dead Lazlo's Place. Check them out at: http://www.myspace.com/deadlazlosplace
