..My musical list would fill up this entire page and you would feel intimidated by just how much music I love! Any music that's loud, aggressive and makes you want to go out and do some major damage, but then again, if you know me, then you're never really sure where I stand musically. I discovered my true musical calling when I found the 80's punk hardcore scene - ran away at age 13 to NYC and lived with seminal punk rockers from Warzone (RIP Ray Beez '97) and the Cro-Mags, as well as crewed at CBGB's. It all spawns from there and I have not let go of any of that intensity since.

I think that the new interest in punk music is a good thing and that just because bands can now actually make some money doing what they love does NOT make them sell outs as long as they do it on their own terms and not by signing their soul away to the brass asses. I will miss my 80's memories at the now torn down/defunct CBGB's, but believe that music belongs everywhere and anywhere - not just bound to a an address, or a building, or a city.
