My Interests

Sound waves, transducers, music, business and art. The expanse of the mind. The expanse of the universe. Psychology and physics.

I'd like to meet:

People who live life as though they are on fire.

Music:

It may border on obsessive.

Movies:

I've been watching more of these this year.

Television:

They shouldn't have CNN blaring in the airports. Turn it to the Discovery or History channel, or maybe Home and Garden. Or turn it off.

Books:

"This Is Your Brain On Music: The Science of a Human Obsession" - Daniel J. Levitin, "Behind The Glass: Top Record Producers Tell how They Craft the Hits" - Howard Massey, "Here, There, and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of The Beatles" - Geoff Emerick

Heroes:

Super and genuinely human, I've got a few. Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Muhammad Ali (aka Cassius Marcellus Clay), MLK Jr., John Bonham, Johnny Cash, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstien, Les Paul, Tom Dowd, Bill Putnam, the Wright brothers, Leonardo da Vinci, Plato, Andy Warhol, Hunter S. Thompson, Williams Carlos Williams, Charles Bukowski, my mentors and my family and friends.

Spring

The Strait A’s 7" release party in Chicago was a blast.  They really know how to get a room moving.  The next day I took the Megabus back to Minneapolis in time to catch Murzik’s...
