    Brotherbeavis's Interests
GeneralRadio. Music, guitars, other stringed instruments (odder the better), cooking, writing, being a better human being. OK, the last one's optional.
MusicBeth Hart, King Crimson, Ozzy Osbourne, Tool, Dream Theater, Eric Clapton, Scandinavian metal (all forms and subgenres, especially weird stuff like the polka-metal of Finntroll and the eight-stringed nastiness of Meshuggah), the Allman Brothers Band, Youssou N'Dour, Bob Marley & the Wailers, Marvin Gaye... you get the picture. Pretty eclectic. Not into rap, but I do like Rage and Public Enemy. Also love live music, especially festivals.
MoviesThe Professional, Seven Samurai, the Shintaro Katsu "Zatoichi" movies, the works of poor doomed Leni Riefenstahl (excellent primers on political propaganda, those--and they're relevant today, believe you me). Anything and everything Terry Gilliam's ever made, although I've yet to get around to seeing "The Brothers Grimm." If I had to pick one all-time favorite it'd probably be Richard Attenborough's "Gandhi," although I think I favor that one more for the subject matter than anything else--and again, vastly relevant in today's world.

Gandhi: You can imprison me, you can beat me and torture me, and then you will have my body. You can even kill me, and then you will have my life. What you will never, ever have is my obedience.
TelevisionIron Chef, Top Chef, No Reservations with Tony Bourdain, Monty Python's Flying Circus, the occasional Austin City Limits, Good Eats and Feasting on Asphalt with Alton Brown, anything featuring the Ultimate Fighting Championships.
BooksAnything by William Gibson, Kerouac, Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling, Tony Bourdain or Ken Kesey.
HeroesDjango Reinhardt. Frank Zappa. Keith Olbermann. Christopher Dodd. Richard Pryor. The guy who first overcame his squeamishness and pulled a prawn out of the ocean and tasted it.

   Brotherbeavis's Blurbs
About me:
We define ourselves by what we do. Until June 6, 2008, I had spent a decade as a journalist--eight years in print and two in radio. Then I got downsized. Riffed, as they say. Budgetary restraints forced elimination of my position.

So I'm looking for a new identity, so to speak.

I have a room filled with guitars and other stringed instruments, most recent being a Variax digital guitar with the modeled sounds of 28 different vintage instruments. My faves are the acoustic 12-string sounds (one Guild and one Martin) and the insanely hot '52 Les Paul goldtop.

I also have a Japanese copy of a 1930's Selmer "Grande Bouche" gypsy jazz guitar--similar to one series of guitars designed for Django Reinhardt by the legendary Mario Maccaferri. Plus a Maccaferri G-40 plastic archtop jazz guitar that dates from about 1953, and about 10 other instruments including a bouzouki, fretted and fretless basses, and an electric mandolin. Not that I can play any of these things worth a damn, mind you, but they're fun to look at and frighten the cat with.

Iron Chef in the kitchen, still angling for that Global Knives endorsement deal (if you want to cut yourself really bad, and not feel it until it's too late, I highly recommend these!). Favorite spice: Aleppo pepper. I buy mine on the Internet, and it's amazing on eggs and also as a garnish with chives on top of sour cream on top of a baked potato. I'm also very fond of Nanami Togarashi, usually used as a condiment for noodle soups or rice. I've made a sort of Japanese-flavored Steak Au Poivre with Nanami Togarashi and sea salt, and it was amazing.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Dave Wilkins on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

Which movie was this quote from?

Get your own quotes:

You are the Hanged Man

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Who I'd like to meet:
Robert Fripp, although my "burning questions" are as yet unarticulated. This is both a challenge and an opportunity.

William Gibson, for the inspiration. Burning Chrome changed my life, or at least the way I look at writing. Pattern Recognition changed it again.

Beth Hart, the most amazing rock singer I've ever heard. I'd just want to give her a massive hug and say thanks for still being alive, because I know how it is, sometimes.

Vinnie Paul, who I interviewed once, because a. he's a nice guy, b. he owns a strip club, c. he's the best rock drummer on the planet, and d. every time I see his late great brother (RIP Dime) on TV, I have a hard time holding back the tears. I can only imagine how it is for Big Vin.

And...why not? Jessica Simpson. Because I can't believe she's that vapid. Or then again who cares. We could discuss the collected works of Jean-Paul Sartre, and perhaps compare and contrast with the major themes of James Joyce and Marcel Proust. Or maybe she could just model that Dukes of Hazzard bikini for me. Haaaah.

I don't understand it. I put salt on everything... pasta, meat, ice cream, coffee, even Sprite (mighty tasty - try it!) What do you think I should do?

Sorry to hear about the Bell's. I remember when this happened to you before. Hope it goes away soon.

Hello you evil bastard! Well haven't talked to you a while, as per my usual! But I thought I'd inform you that I am in the Spokane WA and Post Falls ID area waiting for spring to arrive, couldn't handle the rain anymore! CRIPES! Also I'm headed to Phoenix AZ in September to start school, it's a 15 month program and hopefully it won't bore me to death. Take care and go fuck yourself.
