Bass, Performing, building and restoring things, architecture, design and some stuff that I wouldn't post in a public forum. Oh yeah, Coffee plays a big part in my life too...
I'd like to meet:
Simply put, I'd like to meet interesting people that engage and challenge me in a positive way.
Specifically - In my dreams:Mitchell Froom,
Christina Ricci,
Bob Moog (RIP),
Tom Waits, Beck, PJ Harvey...and about 5000 other people so any specific list would be exclusionary really. (oh, and please don't e-mail me to inform me that Bob Moog is dead). I meet interesting peeps almost daily.
Musically, I'd like to meet artists to collaborate with. I just may want to join or build a project with you. - guitarists, synth/key players, percussionists, vibes, DJ's... anything. If you're in the Boston area and want to collaborate, hit me up.
Music:
I dig all forms of music (some, a lot more selectively than others). Roots, americana, trip hop, rock, funk.... (I'm a slave to trad and modern bossanova). I'm into vintage gear and I love listening to music that incorporates the tones/sounds/spirit of the gear I dig... again, any list would be exclusionary...
Movies:
Freeway, Apocalypse Now, Mystery Train, Barton Fink, Down by Law, The Ice Storm, most Kubrick films and a lot more of course...
Television:
I watch almost NO television but I dig the Daily Show, IFC, Sundance, History, PBS, Discovery and all that hippie indie crap. You get the idea. Steelers and Penguins whenever possible...
Books:
I read a lot of books. Mostly music/interest related. Recently: Analog Days, A&R, Howlin' at the Moon, Yes Yes Y'all, This Band Could be Your Life, The Hood Comes First. Lots of musician Biographies. Recent non music related: Devil in the White City, The Corrections, The Road, The Amazing Adventures of Cavaleir and Klay..
Heroes:
Mitchell Froom, Mike Watt, Chris Wood, Bruce Thomas, Colin Moulding, James Jamerson, Mark Sandman, Beck etc. A lot of my friends are everyday superheroes - i won't embarrass anyone but I know some undeniably incredible people...
