Fido

Remember, there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over.

About Me

I sit in the back & I hit stuff. And for a nominal service charge, I can teach you how to do likewise. Oh, and I do good yellin' with it, too. Good times, good friends, $5.

My Interests

Music of all sorts, creative battery, Frank Lloyd Wright, spelunking, Thai food, casual sex, Michigan, SFX makeup/gore films, deep-sea exploration, rocks, traveling, Canada, quantum theory, chatting up strangers...my main man Bud and last but not least, Monty, the smartest dog ever! Well, except maybe for Riff(RIP). Now THAT dog was almost human, man.

I'd like to meet:

.. At the moment, Willem Dafoe. People who smell as good as they look. Many more Canadians. Grown-up Campbell's Kids. Bilingual travelers with the patience to teach me the words & phrases & dirty jokes they've learned abroad. Andrew, that cute Scottish guy in Ft. Wayne. People from my past whom I've long since forgotten. Stewart Copeland. Willie Nelson. Andy Sturmer. Valerie Bertinelli. Gene Simmons. Katherine Helmond. Robert Rauschenberg. Sandra Bernhard. Ringo & Paul. Yer mum & dad & their mildly retarded neighbor from up the street. I just wanna meet everyone, okay?

Music:


Umm...only the good kind! The Police, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Cheap Trick, Minutemen, KISS, Dave Brubeck, Sloan, Melvins, The Move, Pere Ubu, XTC, Deep Purple, Jellyfish, Pixies, Todd Rundgren, Camper Van Beethoven, Genesis, The Spinners, Bill Monroe, Yes, The Velvet Underground, Bela Bartok, The Gourds, TPOH, Weezer, The Kinks, Repulsion, Willie Nelson, Herb Alpert & the TJB, NoMeansNo, Kyuss, Depeche Mode, Black Sabbath, Lightning Bolt, Van Halen, Carl Stalling, etc. If you're craving a longer list, just message me and ask: "Do ya like so & so?" To which I'll probably reply "Oh yeah, man!" & add them to the pile.

Movies:

Raising Arizona, The Evil Dead, Brewster McCloud, Goodfellas, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Driver 23, Two-Lane Blacktop, Heavy, The Exorcist, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Donnie Darko, The Gunfighter, Spirit Of '76, Kentucky Fried Movie, Once Upon A Time In America, Nightdreams(of COURSE I like porn!)

Television:

Deadwood, Soap, The Twilight Zone, Sumo Digest, Nip/Tuck, All In The Family, Iron Chef, The Sopranos, Behind The Music, True Hollywood Story, Frontline, Match Game.

Books:

How 'bout authors: Richard Brautigam, Stephen King, P.D. Eastman, Ray Bradbury, Bret Easton Ellis, Roald Dahl, James Clavell; man, I wish I could read as often as I used to! Somebody post a must-read list for Fido...

Heroes:

Harold Robert Lewis, a christian in the truest sense of the word. You're always with us, Gramps. Anybody who ever did what made them happy until it made them cry, then kept on keeping on until their success at the pursuit of happiness made others happy. Because ultimately, being happy is what it's really about. So yeah, Gene Simmons. He's high on the list. Spiderman's pretty fuckin' radical too, but he's a SUPERhero, so there you are. Ah, semantics. Excelsior! Oh, and lest you forget: John Motherfucking Deacon!

Jerry Reed, 2008

Yep, we lost another one today. If you appreciate a good guitar picker, you owe it to yourself to get hip to Jerry. Rest in peace, Amos Moses!

Congrats to the cast & crew of "Passing Strange"

Yep, I can now proudly refer to my friend Stew as "my Tony-winning friend Stew". Great people, great show. Next stop: The Grammys!

In A Loving Mood

Is it because I FINALLY own my own set of claves? Yeah baby, i see you drooling...why yes, it is grenadilla! Is it because this year's tannenbaum features colored lights instead of assorted gay-...

Claves ain't a bad woman.

The piercingly elegant pulse of the claves will never, could never, disappoint. Is it mere coincidence that the sound of the claves was one of the first & truest synthesized sounds of th...

Too funny...weaving in & out of my Myspace page, I've just noticed something: in the last 45 minutes, I've apparently lost a friend, at least according to my total...maybe Kevin Smith WON'T be my ...

GLMS on newsstands today. Oh boy.

'Tis the eve of our big record release show at the Magic Stick & there's been a glut of press coverage over the last week; almost too much for me to keep abreast of, really. But I especially wante...
