Pop music doesn't taste funny, but most is bland!

About Me

Ex-US military. Been to, in no particular order: The UK (5 years), The Philippines (2 years), Japan (2 years), California (5 years), Chicago (2 years), Texas (2 years), North Carolina (2 years), Iraq (6 1/2 months). Currently on hiatus--or is it permanent vacation?

My Interests

My headline is a takeoff of the Frank Zappa quote, 'Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny'. Always on the lookout for the atypical, inventive, elusive, sticky, swirly, crunchy, tangy, obnoxious, delicious sound of great pop! No de-gonaded, watered down, kazillion-selling, lowest common denominator swill here please! Any genre will do, as long as it fits this bill. Let me know if you have anything of interest! If it makes me lose my mind to the point that I find it on the side of a milk carton with the caption 'have you seen me?', then so much the better. Smooth Jazz and Death Metal owe more to Pop, not the other way around! Check out my friends list--if they're musicians, they're choice! You have my stomp of approval!!!

I'd like to meet:

Friends that I haven't met yet, except here...

Music:

OK, so I should have probably put this under 'general', and the 'general' stuff under 'music'--but what's the difference?I am 14% Geek.
.. I wanna be a geek. But I'm not. Why would I even want to be one. Do I think it's fun? I should try writting an online test application at 1 am in my underwear Take the
Geek Test
@ FualiDotComI am 71% Ska.
.. Well, maybe I'm trying too hard, maybe I'm not trying hard enough. I shouldn't forget my roots, and remember that punk and reggae wouldn't exist without ska. Take the
Ska Test
@ FualiDotComI am 42% Grunge.
.. What's this? The longest I've been without a shower is three days? Not even close, man. I should go sit out in the rain for a week. Take the
Grunge Test
@ FualiDotComI am 42% Promiscuous.
.. Sure I have had sex, but what's the big deal? I find it as a chore to keep my realtionship balanced. But if I had a choice, I'd rather watch TV or paint dry. Take the
Promiscuous Test
@ FualiDotComI am 34% Emo.
.. Hmm.. I should stop listening to Dashboard Confessional.... enough said... Now that I stopped looking at my shoes, I know how the real world looks. Take the
Emo Test
@ FualiDotComI am 32% Metal Head.
.. Most other metal-heads acknowledge my presence, but they laugh at me behind my back. Maybe I need to stop spending all that money on haircuts and invest in a few Pantera T-shirts. Take the
Metal Head Test
@ FualiDotCom I am 19% Punk Rock.
.. It's not a fashion craze, or even a cool thing to do. I should just swallow it, get Lost, and take my friends with me. Take the
Punk Rock Test
@ FualiDotCom
