About Me

Music is my life. Most people don't quite get it but that's okay. I'm into everything and I mean everything when it comes to music. I go against the grain when it comes to almost everything. Life wouldn't be interesting if you can't grasp your own sense of individuality. Other than that, I'm a pretty nice guy and I'm the type to talk to everyone. Got friends of all walks of life.

My Interests

Playing guitar, spinning records, music, videogames, anime, manga, movies (only the good ones)

I'd like to meet:

All kinds of interesting and talented people.

Music:

This is the part that gets crazy. I love hip hop (the real grimy old New York sound and the G-Funk that dominated the early 90's from the West), electronic music (trance, electro funk, drum & bass, hard trance, hardstyle disco, break beats), turntablism, metal, classical, trip hop, rock, punk and everything in between. Hip hop is my first love but electronica is definitely a close second.

Movies:

Favorite movies of all time are: Requiem for a Dream, Waking Life, Sin City, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, Memento, Jackie Brown, Menace II Society, City of God, Everything Is Illuminated, Thank You For Smoking, Ghost In The Shell, Ghost In The Shell: Innocence, V For Vendetta, Scratch, Garden State, Following, Lord Of War, Akira, Dave Chappelle's Block Party, Crash and Tupac Resurrection.

Television:

24 (the most entertaining hour of T.V. a week), House (only if everyone could be that sarcastic) and Arrested Development (only if more than 5 people watched this show, then it might still be on). The Office and Heroes are my two new favorite shows.

Books:

Mangas for the most part but "Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member" by Kody Scott is the craziest book I've ever read. Highly recommended.

Heroes:

Tony Almeida. Everyone loves Jack on 24 but come on, Tony is for the people. Yea.

And I Don’t Need No Hook For This Shit

Ok. I'm reloaded! It's been two weeks since Jay-Z's new album American Gangster hit the shelves and after many, many listens, I think I've finally come to terms that it's not Reasonable Doubt. Yes, i...

In Places, Empty Spaces

So I'm still a bit buzzed from the show that I went to last night. Who would have thought that a show featuring just Canadian acts could have rocked so hard. The opening band Mother Mother was this qu...

With the recent announcement of the Virgin Festival (aka V-Fest) recently, I started to think, "How good could ours be?" I originally thought that this was a great thing for Calgary and then quickly r...

I am no king and I wear no crown

As always, these damn blogs have all started with the same intro as of late. I've been busy. I've been lazy. I've been too (enter excuse) and that's why I haven't written in awhile. The truth is, I've...
