About Me

I can weird out anyone without even trying. Its both a curse and a blessing.

My Interests

sounds that are sounds that sound like other sounds, the out of doors, getting killed by ghosts, music gadgets, harmony, mood lighting, making flutes out of Slurpee straws, finding comfort in future plans, good friends (even the ones I havent met) , aesthetic over concept, cream cheese baseball, and of course unicorns and giraffes, or any combination of those two animals.

I'd like to meet:

people who want to go ghost hunting while playing Ukulele, anyone down for a intense Donovan listening session, someone else who's way into palm recorders

Music:

My Bloody Valentine, King Kong Ding Dong, Lovesliescrushing, Rollerskate Skinny, Kurt Vile, Helium, Sonic Youth, the songs I make just for me, Kim Deal, Spiritualized, musicians on drugs, Beach Boys SMILE, Pavement, Devendra Banhart, "White Light White Heat", the Flaming Lips, music that helps me sleep on the train, Lilys, Donovan, Robyn Hitchcock, good punk rock, riffs, Gang Gang Dance, theremins, Kool Keith, music to accompany a drive through rural areas, Hawaiian Strings on crackling records, Animal Collective, Incredible String Band (whoa), Michael Macdonna, Ariel Pink, Yes "Close to the Edge", Vashti Bunyan, Syd Barrett, blah blah blah blah...wussy folk shit..whatever. Definitely NOT anything with Bagpipes, Billy Joel, or hiccuping rockabilly types.

Movies:

Anything involving fairy tales, Terry Gilliam, Wings of Desire, the Pit, the Inn Crowd (the one about dancing), City of Lost Children, that claymation movie about Mark Twain, the Beach Boys movie that was on ABC, really horrible movies you get in the bargain bin at TLA

Television:

Adult Swim, Ben Stiller Show, Mr Show, Chris Elliot, the hypno ray on the Jack Van Imp show, history channel, Paulie Shore movies on demand

Books:

the Once and Future King, William S. Burroughs, Geek Love, Neuromancer, Eden's Express, Rimbaud, SAS Survival Guide, Slow Down therapy, Herman Hesse if Im happy enough, Camus if Im bummed, any of those rock bio type books, how to electronics books, Lovecraft, books that arent too heavy to read while Im taking a bath

Heroes:

people who let their art drive them crazy, anyone who can be a genuine, honest, and kind person. And lets not forget stoners
