About Me

I like good songs. I have every great song ever made on my iPod. I have lived on the east coast. I have lived on the west coast. The sound of mediocre bands with nothing to say is deafening. Let's push things forward. I have been a DJ at some clubs in Los Angeles like Bar 107 and Safari Sams. One time at Chateau Marmont. One day there will be more. I spend a lot of time writing and doing interviews with bands. My writing was featured in some issues of Zoo Magazine.If you dare to look further: here you can read some my writing and past music interviews and look at my photos:
  • The Portable Infinite
  • This is only rock blog that is portable and infinite. I am unplugged. I have a book of stories coming out soon. Maybe this summer?
