Well, I like to record and make music with my friends, and strangers too sometimes. I LOVE the O's and the Ravens, I like to read books about Theoretical and Astro-Physics and Near Death Experiences and Cthulhu and his pals and Atheism and Satanist literature and LSD soaked Psychology and Rock and Roll and Invisibility and Teleportation and 2012 and new Futurama stories and stuff like that. Horror Comics too... I like listening to records and hanging out, I like playing Madden, I like to ride my skateboard, I like going to the batting cage, I like throwing the baseball around, I like to go on drives in the dark through the country, but not alone. I like haunted houses and the idea of them being haunted. I like conversation, even though I am more often than not the quietest person in the room, I also equally like just not talking at all, I like really retarded inside jokes that only about 3 other people in the world laugh at, for example: Booooooooosh! See, you don't get it, do you?? I don't know...I like other stuff too. I like the end result of getting tattooed obviously, but not the process so much, I like getting new microphones and studio toys, I like pro tools and spending hours getting that perfect drum or guitar sound...it is very satisfying once you reach that point, I like the way a Telecaster through a Twin sounds, I like having weird dreams, I like being sleepy, I like a lot of reverb over a nice 4 part vocal harmony. I'll tell you when I think of something else.
Like minded humans. Recording nerds. PowerPop bands that need me to record them. Someone with a private jet.
