About Me

I enjoy going to gigs, meeting bands at gigs, listening in on sound checks at gigs, searching the lovely internets for new gigs to go to, traveling around the world (a lot of times to see one of my favorite band’s gigs at a different place), understanding this whole hoopla people refer to as the ‘music industry’, playing my instruments (the guitar, piano, and uh, especially the kazoo), doing yoga, and partaking in the occasional kicking of my own ass on that wondrous invention, the elliptical. I can seriously picture myself having an 'Office Space' moment with it one of these days, remember the copy machine scene? Except i'll probably need alot more help, seeing as I don't do steroids, and an elliptical is about 3 times my size...
"GIG", 'tis a charming little word, isn't it? And I’m sure it’s left a bad taste in your mouth after I battered you with it in my last paragraph...you’re welcome :)
I suppose I do other things as well, but they're not as interesting if you ask me...that is if you were asking me, which i'll assume you were (for my own sake).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People worth meeting, yeah? And maybe that one character from all that Pokemon cripe, Pikachu. Any quasi-existing mutant mouse with an ability to shoot lighting out it's ass is, in my book, pretty effin' extraordinary (and did I mention inspirational?).

Music:


As for my taste in music, it’s pretty much plastered on every corner of my profile. Blogs, playlist, every other thingamashit you see on here...and if you’re really interested, go e-rape my friends list and there you shall find a lovely little agglomeration of bands that I enjoy listening to...though I doubt you’ll ever get that bored...or..??

Movies:

Anything Tarantino,
A Clockwork Orange,
This Is Spinal Tap, Filth And The Fury (Doc/Rock/Mock-umentaries),
The Monty Pythons,
Night At The Roxbury,
Horror Films,
anything good, anything controversial.

Television:

NO RESERVATIONS,
The Daily Show,
Colbert Report,
Cops,
Seinfeld,
Chris Hansen and his Dateline Shenanigans,
Bizarre Foods,
...yadayadayada.

Books:

Confederacy of Dunces,
I Am America (And So Can You!),
Vamped,
Brave New World,
Da Vinci Code,
Calvin and Hobbes,
Anything good, anything controversial.

Heroes:

A lot of people (and a few inanimate objects), including:
