Songwriting, recording, movies, video games, hiking in the many local mountain ranges, repairing machinery, finding out the truth behind the media, world government and assorted conspiracies
Music
MY BANDS: Guiltless Cult, The Sense Offenders, The Realside, Charmboy, The Crayons, Lila Sakura, Darc Kontinents...
I like to listen to stuff too. Not enough time to list, but I bought the new Mastodon, Beck, Flaming Lips & An old Genesis w/Peter Gabriel (live 73 w/Lamb, etc) disc. Anything involving Frank Zappa, The Residents, Squarepusher, Mike Patton, NIN, Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Zeppelin, etc. I like the innovators. I listen to local radio, SIRIUS & Myspace to new bands. I wonder if anyone could ever listen to everything that's been recorded so far in a lifetime?!?! Latest cd's I bought: Tom Waits: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards; Timbaland: Under Construction II; The Good, The Bad, & The Queen; Luxury Flats; Deepak Chopra; Bad Brains: Black Dots; Estradasphere: Buck Fever; The Shins: Wincing the Night Away; John Vanderslice: Emerald City

Singer/Songwriter/Producer
Currently producing full length album as The Realside
For those of you who can't take aliases, I'm Terry McClain, Scotch-Irish-Austrian descent, which means American.

Who I'd like to meet: People who like to think for themselves. People unafraid to question what is going on around them and learn how to conquer fear through humor/common sense.
Look for the Real News Dot Com.
I've been playing with Mike Porter and Tony Emerton for a while now. We are doing alot of acustic stuff but as soon as my studio is finished we will bring out the heavy!
