I am here for Networking

About Me

phrases I hear a lot "Can you draw me this" "you would get along with/remind me of my friend/brother/et cetera" "I'm glad I get to work with you" "You're weird... in a good way" "That music really sucks" "Huh?"

My Interests

line, negative space, words, fonts, typefaces, funky basslines, low end, feedback, wearing clothes that are older than I am, cellar doors, making CD mixes with titles, cheap/free vinyl & the pursuit of, mixmatched socks, making kick-ass food, debate, adjusting to mortality, far-away helicopters, eradicating poison ivy from the planet

I'd like to meet:

I only hang out with losers, just like Jesus.

Music:

I like when bands play together, and showboating is relegated to squeals, ala James Brown Which Piece of Danzig Anatomy Are You?
You Are Glenn's Mouth!

Books:

"When you get yourself in that place, the place I was in on New Year's Eve, you think people who aren't up on the roof are a million miles away, all the way across the ocean, but they're not. There is no ocean. Pretty much all of them are on dry land, in touching distance. I'm not trying to say that's how close happiness is, if we could only see it, or some bullshit like that. I'm not telling you that suicidal people aren't so far away from people who can get by; I'm telling you that people who get by aren't so far away from being suicidal. Maybe I shouldn't find that as comforting as I do." - from Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down -if there is some sort of music-related reference in the material I will read it with relish. I know more about the Beatles' career than I do of my own heritage. I am disappointed when writers constantly use simile and metaphor(s) to describe their imaginary world. There are enough words in the English language that you really don't have to color up your lit with silly comparisons to universal experience: "It was dark like a darkly lit darkness, as if someone had taken all the night and blacked it out with a sharpie of licorice"

Heroes:

the Dust Brothers, Steve Albini, Stones Throw Records, Mark Mothersbaugh, Rick Rubin, Alex Steinweiss

illigitimate usage of diatribe

I worked an uneventful day at work. Someone drew a huge image of a woman's torso that said "BOOBS" on the chalkboard with the "O"'s forming the breasts, so I drew a hastily skewn-together fuel&fuddle...
