About Me

I like music, complete idiocy and words that rhyme with orange. I recently made my way on board as the new bass player (Paul) in the tribute band Liverpool. I am having a great time so far and we have many shows coming up. Until recently, I played with BECAUSE: Music of The Beatles. In my life I've played originals, covers, rock, metal, funk, punk, folk and lots of "whatever" music. Some of my endeavors are on Myspace. www.myspace.com/musclememory www.myspace.com/becauseband and www.myspace.com/darkmatterusa

My Interests

complexity, simplicity, nature vs. nurture

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people with interesting points of view. I'm looking for flavor. I'm looking for a challenge. Like-minded people who don't put others down for their views or their efforts.

Music:

ummm. do you remember when you were in the Beatles? that was awesome.

Movies:

TBA

Television:

PBS, some sports and cartoons. Whatever.

Books:

public libraries kick ass. check one out near you.

Heroes:

Heroes should not be limited to soundbytes.

Local CDs I have laying around

Someone was reminiscing on the Banzai forum with a list of local CDs that they owned, so I got to thinking and counting mine up. Here's most of them, although I swear I have more somewhere. ...

Show number two in retrospect

Being "in character" is fun and more or less comes naturally for me. I've always enjoyed performing, playing music and doing a bit of schtick. I would call this week's Liverpool performance at the Hor...
