I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

First a shameless promotion for my band...
I love music: writing it, listening to it, discovering new bands. I've been told I'm a music snob by more than one person (though I really don't think I am, but I'm not going to get all excited about the new Radiohead just because everyone else is). In fact, I think about music more often than I care to admit.
I'm also a computer programmer. If I'm not thinking about music, I'm prolly thinking up a new program to write, which, in almost all cases, is a music writing tool of some sort, so its a bit of a mortal coil.
Now I know what you're thinking "my God, this guy gets no SUN and outside stimulation". Oh I do, I'm not the type to hole up for too long without sharing time with friends, most of whom I've known for a decade plus, those types that get your jokes almost before your done quipping it...anyway, I digress...
Me: I'm friendly, though you wouldn't think so at first because I tend to wear my think skin when I meet someone for the first time, dunno why, I'm just introverted that way. What else? Oh, I tend to side to the left, sorry Republicans, I just believe in equal rights for humankind and separation of church and state, it really is that simple.
Well, there is certainly more to write about myself, but its a bit difficult without feeling all vain inside (You're so vain, I better you think this "About Me:" is about you...)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are down to earth, can laugh at themselves (cause I'm gonna constantly make fun of you ... j/k), and can appreciate a certain level of sarcasm (Smell that? I can smell that ... that's sarcasm). Just genuine people who know what its like to not get everything you want in life, but are content with the successes you do have in life (and continue to strive for).

Oh and Morrissey, I'd be happy to share just ONE tea with the fellow, really, I'm not asking too much here, am I...???

My Blog

Free ebm/industrial mixes of mine now available (circa 1988).

Hey Kiddos, Back in high school (and shortly thereafter), I spent most of my time buying vinyl and DJing.  In fact, it seemed that almost the whole of my Wendy's paycheck went to car payments an...

Front 242 at the Vic

So, I went to see a long time favorite band of mine last night: Front 242.  They played here in Chicago at the Vic theatre.  It was pretty crowded but not sold out, which was surprizingly ni...

White Sox Win the World Series!!!

Wow I am in disbelief. The White Sox have (actually) won the World Series. I thought I had seen it all in the amazing Game 2 with Paul Konerko's Grand Slam and Podsednik's walk off Home Run. The p...
