Lang

you're the shit... and i'm knee deep in it.

About Me

This is my band, Sounds Under Radio (www.myspace.com/soundsunderradio). I have trouble sleeping sometimes. I read books. I spend a lot of time in a smelly van grey with 3 of my best friends, Anything else?

My Interests

music, books, film, food... all that fun stuff.

I'd like to meet:

everyone. well except the mean ones.

Music:

Death Cab for Cutie, Radiohead, Rilo Kiley, Azure Ray, Postal Service, Eisley, Midlake, Sigur Ros, Jeff Buckely, Ours, Tea Party, Wilco, Hotel Lights, Ryan Adams, the Frames, Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, Snow Patrol, Beck, U2, Muse, NIN, The Damnwells, Manchester Orchestra, Travis, Iron and Wine, The Arcade Fire, John Vanderslice, Zeppelin, Floyd, Beatles... ok, most everything. show me a good song or a pleasant melody and i will smile.

Movies:

Garden State, Donnie Darko, Amelie, Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Wasabi, Shawshank Redemption, The Goonies, Farenheite 911, Rad (probably the best BMX movie of the 80's... even a bit cooler than Christian Slaters 'Gleeming the Cube,' but then again that was about skateboards), Once (rent this if you havent seen it... the music if amazing),

Television:

Man Vs. Wild and Survivor man... I go back and forth as to which one I think is better, The Office, The Daily Show, The Colber Report, LOST.

Books:

Currently Reading; Chuck Klosterman - '4'Favorites: the stranger (camus), sartur resartus (carlyle), the power of myth (campbell)... i'm a total book nerd and am completely unapologetic about it. I actually enjoy reading things most people loathe. Ive been reading a great deal of pop culture stuff lately... Klosterman (killing yourself to live), Greenwald (Punk Rock, Teenagers and Emo). That and things that pertain to music law.

Heroes:

my dad... he's just a really good guy and a great friend. not a perfect person, but that's what makes him great... he knows he's flawed and is ok with it. he doesn't try to convince people that he's perfect, he is just himself and i really admire that.

My Blog

27... guess im supposed to be all grow'd up

27, I don't know why... but this is such an absolutely frightening age. From October 15, 2006 to October 15, 2007 I did a great many things. In this last year I was forced to make more decisions abo...
