About Me

Hello, my name is Dryw. My name is pronounced tfyf&*ij vvj!!!-*?. I live in San Diego and deliver food for a company called Expressly Gourmet. I am very good at my job. It is on only the most rare of occasions that I forget the dressing for a large catering salad.

When I’m not keeping a keen eye on oncoming traffic and making sure no turns are made so abruptly as to tip a half-tray of chicken tequila fettuccine, I can often be found battering the keyboard of my PC. On better days this results in film reviews for The La Jolla Light, CD reviews and music features for MusicMatters, The San Diego Reader, and San Diego CityBeat, and the occasional comedic masterwork for the fantabulous Chunklet. On worse days this results in a smashed keyboard.

When I’m not delivering food or smashing the keys, I can often be found playing basketball. I’m not gonna speak at length about this though since I’m white and my name’s not Steve Nash.

When I’m not delivering food, smashing the keys, or letting my peeps down by never dunking on a fast break, you will probably find me playing a guitar. If you are lucky I will be playing acoustic guitar because if I’m playing electric you’re ears are gonna be hurting and your brains gonna be saying “I wish he was playing acoustic.” But you may fake a smile my way and tell me it sounds great even though you’re dying to get back in your car to listen to the rest of that new Madonna disc. Geez, you’re such a yuppie. If I’m not playing guitar (bass or six-string) I may be smashing different keys (those found on an Alesis Micron synth) or trying to tap out a pattern on a drum machine.

This is gonna blow your mind…I can play along to a beat on my drum machine, sing into a mic, and play guitar simultaneously and record it all onto one track of my Tascam 414 4-track. I can even cut off the drum beat at the exact right spot using my big toe to hit the stop button. I told you I was gonna blow your mind.

The New Loser Studio stuff is basically just me, my toys, and magnetic tape. I recently assembled 19 songs for an actual CD called “Thou Shalt Rock It” which has been referred to as “The best CD of 2007” by someone I’m pretty sure. It contains the rock followed by the roll. Your head will nod and your ears will applaud. Yes, it really is that good. E-mail me if you want one.

Oh yeah, I also play bass for a Guided By Voices cover band called The Fading Captains. We play lots of shows in front of audiences who have no idea who Guided By Voices is. Sometimes this is weird. Those in the know tend to throw a high leg kick at the right times.

Thank you for reading this. You can now return to playing online poker and getting no work done.
