I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Musician (drums, guitar, keyboard, vox), film composer, home recording enthusiast, writer, Karaoke ham, haunter, radio show host, drinker, horror geek.
I made it up until March of 2009 before I got a cell phone, and I consider that something to be proud of.
I enjoy having a busy creative life. I don't feel comfortable unless my plate of projects is too full.
I'm hooked on haunting. I've been a member of Baron Von Goolo's team for the last two years, and have learned how to make guts out of cotton and latex, as well as how to be scary while wearing a giant bunny head.
My grilled cheese sandwiches are apparently the stuff of legend. I'm not too bad at making gumbo, either. Next, I want to learn how to make Tom Kah soup.
I think stand-up comedy is the most exalted art form in existence, and I will be very happy if I ever find myself with both the material, and the balls, to try it myself.
I play guitar and sing in my band The Heartmurmurs. We're a good lot. We too have a MySpace page (www.myspace.com/theheartmurmurs). Feel free to peruse. I'll wait here until you get back.
I co-host a weekly online radio show called Horror Holocaust with my friend Jeff. Because no, I simply wasn't geeky enough before.
I've interviewed Patti Smith and made a cappucino for Elvis Costello. Yes - yes you CAN call me Daddy.
I am now a staff writer for the website www.fatally-yours.com. I review horror movies. Big surprise. But to mix things up a bit, I'm also reviewing Bloody Marys for www.barflymag.com. http://www.barflymag.com/user/willbeaux/blog/
My book SHADOW PLAY: PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY OF THE MODERN HORROR FILM, may be published by the end of this year. Stay tuned for details.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who does not support the NRA, PTL, GOP, or WWE. Lucid people. Creative people. Funny people. Hedonists. Dana Delany.

My Blog

My Bloggy Valentine

Of course I'm thrilled to be on my way to see My Bloody Valentine in Los Angeles. My Bloody Valentine made me fall back in love with music at a time when I was getting a bit fed up with playing. They'...

Perfect Moment No. 62

I'm going to preface this one with a mild warning: if you're a Christian you might take offense. But if you're a friend of mine, chances are that if indeed you are Christian, you're cool about it, so ...

Saint George

Like Johnny Cash, George Carlin was kind of a surrogate father for me growing up. Not that there was anything wrong with my Dad, mind you; I just felt as comfortable around Carlin's recorded presence ...

Saturday Night Live and the Death Of Humor

Ambien Poetry

I am not a poet. It's enough of a pain in the arse writing song lyrics (if I had my way, all music would be instrumental). But sometimes, after an Ambien and a glass of wine, I come up with something ...
