I love music, music is my life. Music makes me deliriously happy and wondrously sad.
When I am playing music, I become as if in a trance. Myself flows into the room and out through the speakers.
I like all kinds, if it moves me, it moves me and it matters not the style or the substance.
I grew up listening to all of my father's very extensive record collection. From Bob Dylan to the Kingston Trio. Led Zepplin to Steeleye Span (and if you know who that is, I like you already). The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Smothers Brothers, Cream, Chuck Berry and the ever divine Donovan. All of these were in my musical upbringing.
My first concert was Weird Al Yankovic opening for the Monkees. I'll always think that The Monkees were one of the most underated pop groups of the sixties.
Breaking out on my own, I became a fan of Punk Rock.
The second concert I ever attended had The Pogues and Mojo Nixon opening for the Violent Femmes. A giant leap in tastes.
While all the other girls were worshiping Madonna, I was in love with Siouxie Sioux.
As for punk icons, you can keep Sid Vicious. Johnny Rotten is the man for me! Snarling, angry, untamed and most of all, alive.
In my early twenties, I worked in the niteclubs in Boston. I was, briefly, a cage dancer at Venus Demilo. While there I developed a life long love of electronica. The Orb provided the soundtrack to many a hallucinagen filled night.
Stereolab became a constant companion, much to the annoyance of any number of roommates.
In that time I grew towards a great respect for the art of the DJ. Recently, the fabulous French DJ and Musician; Miss Kittin has played as a major influence on my tastes and my life. Merci!
Today, I am playing and listening to a great deal of mashups, from DJs like Aristocat, Earworm and Go Home Productions.
All of this leaves an incomplete and imperfect picture. I have not even mentioned groups like N.W.A. or De La Soul. Even as a young punk girl, I believed and still believe that hip-hop and electronica was music that was vital and new and represented the direction that music would grow in the future.
And so it has. Even the English have gotten the hang of it. The Streets first album, "Original Pirate Material" stayed in my CD player for years.
Somehow I still find that I have failed to mention the Bluegrass concerts that my father would bring me to every summer as a young girl and punk teenager. The Seldom Scene and Bill Monroe are often to be found filtering from my speakers.
Or if I have been drinking, I may very likely be found to be listening to my absolute favorite of all time, Mr. Tom Waits! He grows and changes and pushes and yet, there are always those stories! Always such beautiful melodies, even and especially the discordant ones.
Even so, I have still left out all the dark and wonderful nights. Langorously dancing among all the lovely and lonely, pale and velvety Goths at places like ManRay in Boston or Neo, later on, in Chicago.
Perhaps tonight I will drift to sleep and I will dream of songs not yet heard and snatches of melody long forgotten....

Television
Lately I've been bingeing on Nip/Tuck and Doctor Who.
One of the best shows I've ever seen though, was a history programme called "Connections", from James Burke, who is hands down one of the best storytellers I've ever encountered and master of showing the interconnectedness of people and events and displaying the non-linear nature of history.
Another was a really short lived show from the creators of South Park called "That's My Bush", a hilarious satire of the sitcom genre with the current President of The U.S.A as it's main character. Pre-9/11 bravery. There were episodes where I just sat there watching, going "How the hell are they getting away with this?!?!" Genius.
Books
Currently I am reading "Alfred C. Kinsey: A Life" by James H. Jones, a biography of the famous and influential sex researcher.
I am also simultaneously reading a very interesting collection of ancient folklore called "The Old Testament" ostensibly by some guy who prefers to be known as "I Am" (word for word, no skipping of begats!)

LORELEI, I wanna thank you for taking the time out to do all those necessary steps to get the votes in! If not everyone, - and that means - you ... this would not have worked! :)
Enjoy my Vio7 music... better yet, get your very own CD/downloads ( Vio7 on ---> iTunes/ or www.amazon.com ) we would love to ‘live’ on your phone/iPod wherever you may roam ;)
Thank you again, in appreciation, your friend - Armand
PS. Check this one out - for Vio7 fans, by Vio7 fans and it is all about Vio7 fans, originated in UK not too long ago...wouldn't you agree you belong here? Become a 'friend' of www.myspace.com/vio7vixens
PPS. Look at those insane numbers (just about 700 votes ABOVE the #2 guy ?!?!?!) from the Hawties voting poll - I posted a screenshot of it I took little bit before the voting ended... (it's under Hawties '09 folder in Pics on this profile)
Lorelei, THIS IS IT, I have ONE LAST favor to ask you about this, could I? Since, as you might’ve heard, my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year Finals (!) that ends today 7pm New York Time (can you just get it done now?) and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend of www.MySpace.com/OfficialLongHairHawties before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
PS. since it would be so cool to win ‘by a landslide’ of like 7-800+ votes OVER and ABOVE over #2 guy (who will give us run for the money, he’s done that before!) - so, an 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;) Could you ask around?
Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...
Thanks for reading. And if you enjoy these little sayings I send out, take a look at my site, http://TankJones.com and take a look at my blogs. You can also see a lot of pics of events I've done, music I've made and learn about my foundation.
Had a thought while driving home and I wanted to share it. Hope you don’t mind…
When we truly let go of past hurts, hang-ups and disappointments and choose to live in the moment, in the now, in the PRESENT, life truly can be a GIFT.
Hope you liked this one. :)

Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)
Hey, you! I was wondering how thoroughly to mix the two (me and real me), but I don't think it matters. Nobody who doesn't know me really well is going to notice, and I could just say it's a nickname.
So finally we are nearing opening weekend & I am uber excited! I've never been involved in a play this moving & based on a true story. I'm moved at every rehearsal by it's human complexities & the genius of our director Layon Gray who's voice has woven this compelling story n2 this magnificent play. It would be great if you joined the cast & I on Alice's unforgettable journey. Hope to see you there!
