The only form of life lower than an artist is a politician......I happen to be both.

About Me

Fondatore and resident avant-gardist of the band Pleasure Void. Father of National Centrism and Consul General of the American National Centrist Party. Independent musician and artist since 1986. Analytical, dark humored, easy going, logical, generally genial and polite though not to be trifled with. I refuse to tolerate idiocy. All the same I can be a bit of a goofball at times. Overall, however, I am committed to my passions (creating sound sculptures, revolutionizing american politics, filming beautiful women in everyday underwear,etc) as well as supportive of other peoples interests. A man with a plan. C'est moi. Oh yeah, I have two cats (brother/sister) named Gaius and Agrippina. I'm raising them to be my heirs.

My Interests

Music /Politics /History /Philosophy /Art

I'd like to meet:

Anyone worth meeting

Music:

My music library encompasses everything from 1890s Edison cylinders to ragtime to jazz to blues to rock and roll (especially 60s/70s glam and punk) to classical to my particular favorite: vintage electronic music from the 40s to the 60s. ( Such as Edgar Varese, John Cage, Pierre Henry, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis, Vladimir Ussachevsky, Morton Subotnikck, etc) I am a historical archival freak and have tried to build as much of a complete collection of just about every major important artist in the history of recorded music as I possibly can. It will, I'm afraid, be a task that will keep me occupied for the rest of my life. ( however long that turns out to be)

Movies:

Most films by the Marx Bros, David Lynch, John Waters, Andy Warhol and any truly classic (ie:old) Hollywood film. ( I'm particularly fond of historical biopics though I'm usually critical of them as well)

Television:

CSPAN, CSPAN2, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Fox News ( know thy enemy ), Simpsons, South Park, Sealab and Robot Chicken (my current fave)

Books:

With a personal library of almost a thousand books, there are simply too many to name. ( 90% of my books are either history , philosophy or classical literature)

Heroes:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt , Groucho Marx , Socrates , John Cage, No one currently living
