Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

About Me

I sing and dance with the East Coast Annex of DraculaZombieUSA .
    My friend Jeff K and I put on shows in NYC under the name Neon Lights. Befriend us on this here My Space.
      Also, After The Jump .
        On a more personal note...monkeys. One in particular. And the occasional, fiscally ill-advised music shopping spree. Also, cat impersonation.

        My Interests

        Formal wear. Taking blurry photos of bodies of water. Push pins on maps. Cat calendars. Soft t-shirts. Comfortable shoes. Cajoling. Recommending music. Mother hen-ing. Being a 21st century dilettante. Somehow feeling like I didn't even spell that right. That sort of thing. Tea, anyone?

        I'd like to meet:

        Other simians. And felines. And their bands.

        Music:

        Si. You can find me and a gaggle of other music/movie/tv hot freaks casually opining and ruminating in a ramshackle, infrequently updated sorta way at Soft Communication .

        Top Five Most Played Songs This Week

        1. Bukka White/Shake Em Down

        2. Alejandro Escovedo/Sway

        3. New Order/Procession

        4. Hot Chip/Shake Your Fist

        5. PJ Harvey/The Devil

        Movies:

        Did my time at a dusty video store. I've seen a few.

        Anybody that has seen The Lowdown by Jamie Thraves or Labyrinth of Passion by Pedro Almodovar and la-la-la-loved them is a friend for life.

        Television:

        Things with $4,000 dollar ham napkins. Things with ladies named Patterson. Things with murders that need to be solved. Things that are drily humorous and don't need a laugh track. Things that feature big cats or Incans. Things that are directly or tangentially about vampires and the people that slay them. Things with people making outfits out of coffee filters. Things with absurdly adorable baby animals. Things about aspiring models who are backstabbin' bitches. Things with women who refer to themselves as the "H.B.I.C." Things about stoop and corner kids and the people that fail them. Things with sex robots in space. And lastly, things that feature complicated character flashbacks that involve extradition and psychological experimentation.

        Books:

        High to low-brow, as long as it's not about math.

        Heroes:

        John Peel.
