beyond beyond

totally embarassing on a nuclear level.

About Me

particularly fond of songs that mention radios. an accidental charm. a graceful drinking arm.

My Interests

welk stylings. drum lines. crusty fonts. traffic reports. toll booths. rooster soda. the princeton fade. effective complaining. compulsive disclosure. relative humility. gaper delays. ink clouds. hair tugs. unidentified crying objects. mace and grenades. showing up. hounds of love. evenings spent in the company of illuminated highway signs. houseboats. noticing. ringing in the ears. snapped guitar strings. high snares. proper pronouns. obsessive repulsive tendencies. recon missions. college radio. dogs chasing their tails. all things regarding the beginning of life, spores, ocean, planetary invention, living in sin, living.

I'd like to meet:

things you couldn't give away for free. dylan and my mom on a couch with face masks on watching the golden girls. radio nerds. dogs so large i can not see past them. a sparkle shiny diner that's home to wayward miners. pogo partners. a boat out at sea. FLEAHOPPERS. people who know about the greater yellowstone ecosystem. more people that i went to shows with when i was 14. SHREDHEADS. drumthwackers. the BRINEY STANK face to face.

Music:

sloppy kleenex. dumb wave. ronco rock. anything from ohio and australia. powerslop. gutter plunk. singles (not the soundtrack). k-tel comps. xpressway records. retardo bozo rambling music. music made by teenagers. unlistenable swill. stenchcore. youthcrust.

Movies:

i think i just became "one of those people" who only watch documentaries.

Books:

anything from start to finish. really.

Heroes:

tibor and maira kalman, lynda barry, hey you kids get off my lawn, jerry blavat, yoko ono, jennifer blowdryer, betty butterfield, harvey holiday.
