My Interests

Travel. Music. The quest for enlightenment and peace, cause lord knows I have none.

I'd like to meet:

I am interested in meeting a great many people. People who have interesting things to say. People who want to work on music. People who need a producer. People who need audio gear. People who need a DJ. And people who want to change the world, or be transported to another one.

Which person are you?



Myspace keeps trying to protect people from my little mailing list script here. I don't want your password. I'm not phishing. You don't even have to put your name in, just your email. I just want names so I can know who you are. If the Myspace protection lets you, go ahead and sign up. If not, you can mail me here to join my list.

Join my mailing list?

I am already on your list and would like to be removed:

Music:

Everything is of interest as I mature. But my focus is electronica. Deep Dish are my heros, along with Dave Ralph, Max Graham, Deepsky, Sultan (Soultan), the Crystal Method, Sasha, John Digweed. And my brother, Jon Disterhoft, DJ Exigent.

Movies:

I love movies that twist your mind and lend a sense of power and righteous struggle. Pi, the Matrix, V for Vendetta, the Usual Suspects, the Prestige. I love movies that are visually spectacular, like Sin City, 300, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. And a lot of other stuff. Check out a new cool one called "Primer". An indie about time-travel that will totally twist you. Good job to the Primer crew!

Television:

Don't really watch TV. Despite having 150 or more channels on my TV, there is nothing to watch. Love Family Guy, have liked a few series around. Thought Firefly was heavenly. Watched Southpark back in the day, but not lately. Currently watching Brisco County Jr., Dead Like Me, and an assortment of movies on Netflix. Even that I didn't do all weekend.

Books:

Currently trying not to read. There's too much to do, and I love to read so much that I tend to get stuck in the books and forget life. William Gibson is definitely my favorite author, followed closely by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. And I love Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Hail childe Roland. Currently reading the Hitchhiker's Guide (yes, I hadn't read it yet), and it's hi-larious. It's kind of like reading a Monty Python script.

Heroes:

So many. So many wonderful people. So many better than I. My parents and my brother are near the top. And my girlfriend. The people who make beautiful music. Da Vinci, Musashi, Mozart. You know, the usual.

Here’s an idea that may blow your mind
