About Me


i spend half of my life looking for my keys and the other half waiting for the elevator.
i play and remix other people's music as starling *.
i make my own music as translucent pulse *.
i make fun of music as voce blu *.
i recently came back to missouri from california... just in time to see it snow in april. yeah.
i'm pretty much here for music and networking... and that's about it.
i still get bored very easily though. so i'm often spouting random bullshit on slsk as jrmhbky... and sometimes as surly curmudgeon, depending upon how surly and curmudgeony i'm feeling. you little bastard.
i'm on last.fm as jrmhbky too. below are my top ten most played artists last week... because you care.
here's a picture of a cow with its head stuck in a tree.
here are some of my favorite quotes:
"people who aren't normal shouldn't expect to lead lives that are." - john holmes
"i'm going to be frankenstein for christmas." - joe coats
"finding out how to pass the time is the hardest part of being alive." - astronaut wife
"it's too hard to look in the mirror. there's nothing there." - andy warhol
"it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. then it's just a game... a game of 'find the eye.'" - unknown
"my childhood was a period of waiting for the moment when i could send everyone and everything connected with it to hell." - igor stravinsky (w3rd.)
"i'm so miserable without you, it's almost like you never left." - unknown
"many so-called tricks of today become the truths of tomorrow." - man ray
"spontaneity has its time and place." - daphne zuniga in the sure thing
"people will say, 'there are a million ways to shoot a scene,' but i don't think so. there are two, maybe... and one of them is wrong." - david fincher
"on rare occasions he showed flashes of a stagnant intelligence. but his brain was so rotted with drink and dissolute living that whenever he put it to work it behaved like an old engine that had gone haywire from being dipped in lard." - hunter s. thompson
"i'm dead." - elvis presley
"an attempt was once made on my life... by a girl named squeaky." - gerald ford
"that amp you bought was a great amp... it was just broken." - some asshole i went to high school with
well, enough about me...
* (i'm fully aware that being a musician/DJ does not make one unique... just as i'm aware that there are still quite a few people who don't realize this. i like to think of myself as part of the solution. you're welcome.)
goldfrapp - happiness (performed by punk monkey and rex the dog)
the bird and the bee - again and again

feist - i feel it all
channel 2 - if you
kin - blackbird
van she - kelly
bork bork bork.
she reminds me of me.
