Music
really anything that makes my ass shake of its own volition. its not the color of the record, but what lies inside the grooves... but especially: music made by people i actually know, last year's model, old msi, polysics, euro synth pop, 80's new wave, electro, hi nrg, 8 bit, sidmusik...the model, umlaut, go philly home teams!
bitshifter •billie holiday • covox • nullsleep • last year's model • sarah cracknell/saint etienne! • annie lennox/eurythmics • talking heads • duran duran/arcadia • depeche mode • omd • paul hardcastle • visage •thompson twins • human league, especially old human league, circus of death!! • especially old depeche mode • etc.... A particularly vicious rumor • bessie smith • the beloved • why are we building such a big ship • dopplereffect • GGG(gonnagetgot) • digital emotion • El Radio Fantastique • Pixies • apoptygma berzerk • crooks and nannies • kraftwerk • electroniCAT • Ella Fitzgerald • EXPLOGASM!• hi nrg • italo disco • goth/industrial/ebm etc.• giorgio moroder i would carry your child if it were medically and scientifically possible to splice your genes with those of david bowie, but somehow still throw my own dna in the mix.• etc. etc. etc...
Movies
i love all movies. even bad ones. favorites have a lot of texture, like jeunet et caro or chinese period dramas, or beautiful sci fi epics, or brooding westerns or...its all good. i love sitting and letting a story unfold around me..
Television
t.v. is a box on which to view rented movies and porn. unplug the damn cable, and start living again. BE YOUR OWN T.V.!
Books
sci fi, autobiographies, histories, art books, design books, architecture, interior design books, cryptonomicon, pattern recognition, stranger in a strange land, never let me go by kazuo ishiguro, instruction manuals - for when i am not feeling desperately dyslexic.
Heroes

I have more yummy art up at http://www.cairobot.com !!! ................................................................................................................................. moved to new york with a mission and a ten year goal.
13 years later and i'm on my way, sorry 'bout the heart of coal. moved to the countryside for the winter and spring, we'll see what the new year brings. hunkered down with my pens and pencils, crates of paint and cardboard stencils.
penn's woods are now my home,
where i reside on the outskirts of philly in an old theatre which i spend a fair amount of time renovating.
i'm an animator, a twisted animator, soul blacker than darth vader,
i'm a chronic masturbator, i'm a twisted animator.
i got it made in the shade like samuel jackson,
bad muthafucka gonna die with my boots on,
but i gotta cupple of errands to do first,
my soul is full but it's dyin' of thirst.
racing down the track like i'm made by tyco,
i like 'em young like my main man michael,
like norman bates, you know i'm psycho,
got a shiny coat like i eat hi-pro,
moods up and down like the lunar cycle,
got more more issues than national geographic,
way more twitchy than the average spastic.
got shit to do so i'm always busy,
couple cups of wine and i'm feelin' dizzy.
i'm an animator, a twisted animator, a real collaborator,
mad scientist and king. a bee with a deadly sting.
.................................................................................................................................
actually i am allergic to bees. i dance better than most straight
white guys, most gay white guys, for that matter, if you
catch me in the mood, and i seem very exiting
for about six months after which you will either get
bored or gain enough self esteem to think you can do
better.

Who I'd like to meet: we are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams. especially looking for other synth players and drummers in the phila area that would like to experiment and build some new stuff together on an informal yet semi regular basis.
i was a resident artist at "rubulad" (google it) in darkest brooklyn at the intersection of bedstuy, williamsburg, navy yard and fort greene/pratt area, and then the recipient of the pierre pressure artist's fellowship at historical cherrymont farm in rural pennsylvania where i spent six months decompressing from the cold self centered harpies that circle the dark skies of manhattan, and contracting a mother humping case of lyme disease, resulting in temporary partial paralysis of my face.
i am now building a new life for myself in the verdant burg of philadephia, where the people are friendly and real, and life is a lot more human-centric.
i have been purposefully off the market for the last year or so, to fully wipe the slate clean and start with a fresh soft and supple, if hand-repaired heart. handcrafted things are always better than mass produced items anyway. handmade and recycled, that's the way i roll!
EVaaan! You didnt tell me about any Brooklyn art show! How you been bro!? Whats goin on with Rubulad? Is that old space done!? GET ME THE INSIDE SCOOP! Anyhoo...
We comin back to Philly Sept 12 with MC Lars, Super 8 Bit Brothers and
more joining us for an all-age Video Game convention extravaganza! GGG

SEE YA THERE!? http://www.gamecorecon.com/tickets.html
