cabbages and kings, and the sea, but not winged pigs.
Music
cats claws on furniture, jackhammers, dental devises, dishwashers with broken glass churning inside, two year olds who've just been told "No", airport announcements, computer phone calls,static of all sorts...and oh a myriad of other fascinating sounds;it's all found music to me.
Movies
Velvet Goldmine, Trainspotting, High Fidelity, Performance, The Great Rock'N'Roll Swindle, Rock and Roll Circus, Ziggy Stardust,The Harder They Come...Were any other films ever made?
Television
The band- one of the best.
Books
Thousands. Presently obsessed with all of Irvine Welsh's work.
Heroes
A most uncommon want...maybe Caliban, Kliban's sneaker wearing cat, Charles Adams, Edward Gorey, wild things with sharp teeth, and things that crawl along walls and in crevices.
About me: I'm cruel and vicious and blood thirsty, altogether a horrible, horrible excuse of a human being, but I've got great ears.
WLUW 88.7 Chicago Just Another Deluded DJ
I host a specialty show called " Across the Pond, and Beyond ". The music played is from anywhere other than the states, but is not to be mistaken for a World Music show. It is mostly rock in its endlessly fascinating forms.
Show time:Thursdays,during the sinister side of midnight - 2:00 to 6:00 am, Midwest Psycho Time.
If you wish to contribute your music, for the edification of vampires, send silvery platters to:
WLUW Music Dept.
ATTN: BARB WIRE
6525 North Sheridan Rd.
Chicago, IL 60626
My ears are always baited for lovely new tunes, and I hope to hear from you.

If you're a band, and I've added you as a friend it means I surely like your sound, and welcome you to send a CD to WLUW. Please send a friends request before sending any music. Check out my site for an idea of my format. I like all genres. The main requirement is the music's got to be exciting, and passionate, and keep things whole. Experimentation for experimentation's sake bores me. I'm not interested in recreations of the wheel, only in music well done.
Whenever possible, I plan to write a bit about bands. There are so many great ones, and it won't be possible to include most, but I'll do my best.
Again,the station's address is:
WLUW Music Dept.
attn: BARB WIRE
6525 North Sheridan Rd.
Chicago, IL 60626
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who isn't like me, except for the great ears bit.
