About Me

MySpace Codes

Poet, Dreamer, Mystic, Vegan, Music Journalist, Vinyl Junkie, DJ, Wordwhore, Wi-Fi Gypsy, Freak "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead-- his eyes are closed." --Albert Einstein
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men."-- Alice Walker

I have worked in music since 1990, so i dig almost any groovy grooves from darkwave to discopunk. I'm very open-minded about music, unless we're talking about 21st century mainstream. If it's current Top 40, don't be surprised if I haven't heard of it. Most of it rips the very fabric of time and space with the sheer force of its mediocrity. And, okay, it sounds like ASS.
SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTISTS !!
My dream is to own a club called Factory22.

IF THIS MAN SANG "WILD IS THE WIND" TO ME ON MY DEATHBED, I WOULD BE INSTANTLY TRANSPORTED TO THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY
