Andy Witmyer (JKLTO-LordBacchus-TEF)

Sincerity is something I practice everyday.

About Me

About me? Hmmm. Well, to start... I'm Andy Witmyer. I have been described variously as either weird, charming, creative, egotistical, hyper-empathetic, sentimental, mystical, lame, unkempt, witty, genius... or, you know, some strange combination of the aforementioned. I am often overly sensitive to the point of it being an annoyance to others. I play music because I can't think of anything else that I could possibly do better. Some would say that I'm didactic, which is obvious in that it's taken me about 6 lines already to say what could have possibly been said in half as many.

I'm a musician that is currently playing in a band called The Electric Fence. I also work at Sam's Club. My favorite musician is Syd Barrett. My favorite band is Type O Negative. Anyway, if by some chance you haven't fallen asleep already, I applaud you! : )

My Interests

I enjoy the cliche things of life: politics, music, art, nature, beauty, nerdy games (like D&D, Puerto Rico, and Catan), Final Fantasy / Chrono Trigger, history, The Steelers, and Nintendo.

I'd like to meet:

Dennis Kucinich for President 2008.

Music:

In a semi-particular order: Type O Negative, Syd Barrett, Nick Drake, VAST, The Doors, The Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Elliott Smith, The Thrills, Ben Lee, The Smashing Pumpkings, Placebo, Weezer, Ben Folds, Starflyer 59, The Soft Machine, The Frogs, Weezer, Third Eye Blind, The Rainings, John Mayer, Carnivore, Korn, Deftones, My Bloody Valentine, Lycia, Nubuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda, The Electric Fence, Rampart, Hungry Saturn, Shawn Diveglia.

In General, I like 60's psychedelia, folk music, foreign music (Japanese and European, especially), and emotionally stirring soundtracks. ..

Movies:

Movies that stir one's soul.

Television:

TV sucks

Books:

I am obviously illiterate.

Heroes:


My Dad, Peter Steele, Josh Silver, Syd Barrett, Rick Wright, Nubuo Uematsu, Jon Crosby, Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, FDR, Tim Burton, Mel Gibson, Jon Stewart.

It's sad...

I can't believe how much some among me have changed.  Pigs are in flight.  The world is upside down.
