About Me

Hey...I'm Joe from the Jersey Shore area...I'm into lots of offbeat indie and underground music.. my personal fave is the genre known to some select very cool few as "Shoegaze" my old UK faves like Lush, Ride and My Bloody Valentine (ok I know MBV is from Ireland..lol) check out some newer bands like The Meeting Places, Fleeting Joys and The High Violets just to name a few...if you're familiar or just curious with the genre say hello

My Interests

Environmental matters are my first and foremost concern....It really sucks that in this ultra conservative political climate nobody seems to care anymore....Please help to save the Earth from greedy developers, oil companies and policy makers like the current White House regime....NO DRILLING IN ANWR!!! ps...Please check out this site: "therainforestsite.com" and click on the "save the rainforest" button everyday...it's free and there wont be any spam..thanks!

    Movies:

    Ok here's my top ten although it's difficult without seperating genres....

  • 1) SILENT RUNNING (Awesome 1971 environmentally themed film which will unfortunately come true)
  • 2) DR. STRANGELOVE (Kubrick rules)
  • 3) SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (The most perfect ending)
  • 4) THE GODFATHER (The finest acting of any film..ever)
  • 5) ROB ROY (Much of it is poetic.."My Lord..surely rumors are attracted to you as flys to shite - Montrose..you are the flys AND the shite upon it...)
  • 6) MATAWAN(Beautifully done John Sayles indie film) 7) FARGO(The great Coen Bros at their best) 8) PULP FICTION(Nuff said) 9) GLORY(Best war film..ever) 10) ROAD WARRIOR(Ok I know Mel sucks...but it's just so cool) 11) JFK(Ok 11 for the price of ten...just had to...)

    Television:

    Keith Olbermann is awesome...check out Countdown on MSNBC, Bill Maher rules also and for a more balanced approach you cant go wrong with Chris Matthews and Hardball

    Heroes:

    James Earl Carter Jr. more commonly know as our 39th President Jimmy Carter...a great and good man unfairly scapegoated by Neocon Brainwashing....godbless you Jimmy

    This goes out to all you deluded Rightwingers who along with most of the gullible public believe the lie that Reagan was a great President and Carter was a horrible one.  Take for example Reagan'...

    They owe us an apology

    As someone who was against the Iraq invasion even before it started and as someone who voted against The Cheney/Bush crime family twice I feel as though I am due an apology from anyone and everyone wh...

    Marketing = Brainwashing

    It's hardly a new idea or realization but it's come to my attention recently that half the environmental problems at least in this country can be attributed to and are directly related to marketing an...

    Al Gore for President in 08

    I'm really starting to believe that he just may be the Dem's most viable candidate.  I've always been a big fan mainly due to his being one of the most pro-environment pols.  I believe he's ...
