About Me

Check out my music page
myspace.com/gluttonchops
I work(ed) at Guitar Center in San Jose California selling synthesizers, digital pianos, recording software/hardware, strobe lights, 1000 watt speakers and $1,400 microphones. I have been a computer nerd/musician for years and after spending 10 years in the software industry I fell back on my other skill, sales and music. Now, I'm taking a few months off to work on some stuff and in the meantime I'll be working for myself as a home studio/computer consultant.
I write and create music. I can pick up most instruments and play along but I'm no master of any. I'm currently looking for a band or collaboration where I can take the lead vocals. I'm open to anything. I'm currently checking out a blues cover band, could be cool. Ultimately I'd like to settle down in a medium town, take some classes and maybe write a book, or a song, or a song about writing a book.
Either way I strive to be mostly content, with friends.
If you want to add me as a friend, my last name is Osborne, you have to enter it to contact me.

My Interests

I spend a lot of time on line gathering random information. News, info whatever. I'm a desk chair potato. Otherwise, I'm working on music or hanging out with friends...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who aspires, period. Seeking is what life is all abut, figuring out how things work, finding a nich and digging in. Even if you're digging in shit.
Just doo it

Music:

I often wonder what it was like thousands of years ago when music was something shared, passed down from generation to generation. Music nowadays is smothered in marketed, over produced songs and greedy megalomaniacal artists.
I rely on tasteful friends, college radio or any "non clear channel" station. I also like to download mp3 mixes from the internet and seed out the good songs.

What type of music do I like? I like everything but I'd have to say I grew up in the 80's so I'm a sucker for anything electronic.
I've been enjoying the resurgence of the full band with synth genre i.e. The Killers, She Wants Revenge, Muse, Mew etc. There is really no style of music I dislike, the closest would be opera and progressive rock.

Movies:

Yup, watch em. I like the good stuff.
Independent moves are under rated.
I could list a thousand movies so I will just leave it at that. -kudos to you that can remember all of them.

Television:

I watch pretty much anything that's on, documentaries are cool, the simpsons, southpark and Family Guy are funny as hell. Lost, Heroes, Jericho, Battlestar Galactica. . . TIVO is my friend.

Books:

I like good fiction and hard facts

Heroes:

Leonard Cohen, MC Escher, Einstein, Thom hartmann, Barry Andrews (Shriekback), David Bowie . . . and my mother. (to name a few)
