My Interests

I spend a lot of time digging for good music, old and new. Any suggestions, I'll take 'em. I like to share my music with others and open their senses and minds to maybe something different. I have turntables and a mixer and have been spinning off and on for 5 years. I stick with mostly jazz, beats, and other various electronic music. I am a sucker for good deep house.I like wine and a good micro brew beer. Am over the wine in the box craze I went through back in college. But did develop a nice taste for micros in Santa Cruz. Drink a few bottles a week typically and collect wine as well. Jenny and I go wine tasting all the time and have been tasting all over the state of California, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, and New Mexico. If there is a winery nearby, we'll know about it. Always looking for some new beer or wine to try.In addition to these passions, I love to travel, catch a good flick, read a good book, take a long hike, take my road bike out ( not as much as I would like to), cook for guests, help those who are in need, meet new people, and spend time with my wife.

I'd like to meet:

People...that means you if you are reading this.Anyone who has good taste in music, wine, beer, or has similar interests with me.Also looking for contractors to do some interior work so if that is you, drop me a line.

Music:

I listen to Jazz, Soul, and Electronic music. There is so much good music out there it is hard to list them all. You cannot go wrong with anything on Compost Records, Defected Records, or Sonar Kollectiv. Those guys are just kilin' it. Gilles Peterson is King. Music I am currently listening too include: Zero 7, Jazzanova, 4 Hero, Bugz in the Attic, Ben Westbeech, Peven Everett, Pharoah Sanders (always have time for him), Clara Hill, BBC Radio 1, Samurai FM, and KCRW.

Don't have cable so see above. Am a sucker for X-files and Seinfeld re-runs.

Currently reading The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Green.
