Although I'm not very interesting, i am interested in music, music, music, photography, art (especially Winston Smith's montage art) and hearing about your day- how was it?
I'm a little nerdy about guitars and the like, also horror films. Oh, and apparently my Goth name is Dead On Arrival, which is obviously cool. (http://www.necroticobsession.com/gothname.html)

I'd like to meet:
I would very much like to have a casual chat with Tim Kasher, because he writes the best albums. I would also like to have a beer with Dan, Matt & Derek of Trio fame. I think it would nice to write and record a song with Erin McKeown and I would also like to meet Chris Cheney again, only this time have something witty and meaningful to say to him. Those last two both play Double Anniversary's, as do I (yay!). I really do need to make friends with Brian Setzer. Oh, and it would be so cool to go for a steak in Texas with Jim "Reverend Horton" Heath. On a less musical tack, I think I'd like to meet Billy Connolly and Ray Mears (or Bear Grylls)
Sadly, I am too late for Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Bill Hicks and Vincent Price.
Music:
I am currently loving the following silver discs:
Grown At Home- "assemble"
Elvis Presley- "elvis presley"
Biffy Clyro- "puzzle"
Circa Survive- "on letting go"
AVAST!- "faultlines"
Saves The Day- "stay what you are"
