Making Props for the Opera.
crazy old records and books, magazines and wierd little do-dads and gizmos you find in the trash and the junk shop.
I really dig exploring old attics full of trunks and boxes. I like rustic old houses and places.
photography, 1960s, modern abstract and pop art, demolition derbys, going on tour, fall days, garage sales, freaking out, abstract painting, hauntings and haunted places in the countryside. exploring small towns and big cities. checking it all out. playing guitar. playing air guitar when the real thing isn't at hand. Rock and ROll
sratched up old 45's I found at a garage sale or in the attic somewhere. old, bad music. anything that the average person would hate, or think was old fashioned, corney, or stupid. if you consider yourself a "normal" person and you hate it, that pretty much means I like it.1960s Garage, Mod, ROCKER, ? mark & the mysterians, the Zombies, greenhornes, ye-ye, thee shams, milkshakes, mighty ceasars, Blondie!, Them, oblivians, gories, Kinks, pagans, mission of burma, freakbeat, The Who, velvet underground, stooges, outsiders, zero boys, gizmos, royal pendletons, compulsive gamblers, preacher's kids, the cooljerks, los brincos, RAMONES, les nepoleons, Dutronc, ye-ye, Ennio Morricone, guitar wolf, Howlin' Hachima, Howlin' wolf, lighting sam hopkins, FREDDY KING, Black Flag, angry samoans, undertones, the monks, ventures, jackie and the cedrics, dead boys, rocket from the tombs, voidoids, ohio express, shadows of knight, buzzcocks, link wray, collins kids, chesterfield kings, the cynics, the hentchmen, flat duo jets, lyres, cramps, the customs, american death ray, subsonics, woggles, pagans, Customs, Vibrators, Popshopping, bob crewe generation, swingin' medallions, Bob Dylan in the period of 1963-1966
