John David's Interests

General	Reading, vigorous exercise, repetitive stress injuries, bodily secretions, listening to music, performing music, petting small cats, observing insects from a safe distance, cherishing the common moor hen, poking the irritable Mel.
Music	I like powerful rhythm sections, rough and expressive voices, catchy melodies, and attention to sonic detail. I am moved by lovingly crafted textures, nuanced chord progressions, and stark contrasts. I enjoy stripped-down minimalism as much as I enjoy dense orchestration and complex arrangements. Lyrics are usually lost on me.
Movies	Movies are a fun escape, but they don't hold the depth that a good book or recording does.
Television	No television channel access. No plans on obtaining it.
Books	Science fiction, architecture, fantasy, historical fiction, music magazines, The Economist, science periodicals, programmer culture, programming books. Authors: Ursual K. Le Guin, William Gibson, Isabelle Allende, Haruki Murakami, Larry Niven, Dave Eggers, Joel Spolsky, Jhumpa Lahiri, Khaled Hosseini, Peter Seibel, Steve Yegge, Peter Norvig, H.P. Lovecraft.
Heroes	The individuals with the most direct and positive impact on my life have been my family, my high school art and English teachers, and my closest friends.
Groups:	Aim Battle-Rap Champions, Spawn of Sebring View All John David's Groups

Peasants With Feathers	Aug 19 2008 12:56 PM john David for President
Loren	Aug 18 2008 1:58 PM I'm game for collaborating. Should we merge it into a RTRB show?
RILEY IN AN UPROAR!	Aug 17 2008 6:11 PM yis.
Ars Phoenix	Aug 17 2008 4:51 AM Oh, the 29th isn't an ESS show. That's just Chris being awesome and updating his local electronic shows list very often. Conversely, our normal set is too pop for an AR show, so a noise/improve collab set might just be something very special. We should definitely talk it over.
Ars Phoenix	Aug 16 2008 11:49 PM That's a good question! You should ask Chris and Andrew! Hopefully sometime soon. I'd especially like to play with Hydrogen Arm sometime, or maybe even collaborate. --Jon
Cherrilyn	Jun 26 2008 9:15 PM Its good to see your picture profile up with your cello :) Have you been doing improvisations with guitarists lately?
M.	May 30 2008 6:48 PM hi babies!

Yelvi5	Mar 17 2008 4:20 AM i'm a graduated lad. see you this weekend bucko.
Nick	Mar 4 2008 7:51 PM So I have a boyfriend who is nine inches easy when very excited. HE is uncircumcised and very sexually un-educated [I was his first everything, he had never even masturbated]. He seems much more sensitive than the average man, is this just me or is this common? Also, I have never had experiences of any kind with an uncircumcised guy, is there anything I should know or watch out for?
Nick	Feb 12 2008 7:35 PM I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest man on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Felipe, and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest man alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me.
Mike	Feb 8 2008 10:55 PM Pneumonia?
Dan	Feb 8 2008 6:27 PM Gotta love mucus and death...Pretty brutal

Loren	Nov 22 2007 5:51 PM May the turkey be with you
RILEY IN AN UPROAR!	Nov 20 2007 7:04 PM haha! yes... when are we making noise?
Munchi	Nov 15 2007 5:17 AM That's awesome. I'm not really surprised; after all you ARE John-David >:) I haven't had a whole lot of time- but I did manage to make a few VST's and recorded some samples of trains going by and wind blowing through trees and stuff. I'm going to use FL studio to make some form of munch-style Deep Forrest clone. Something about that marimba beat sends shivers down my spine. I told Derrick I'd chop and screw one of his songs, and I'm about half way through it. I didn't want to say anything until it was done but I'm having a hard time finding free time lately with all the craziness whirring around me. I will though- when I sit down clearheaded and find the inspiration within. I picked up the guitar today for the first time in weeks and played some tunes with my Uncle. It was pretty awesome family bonding. Anyways, I'll let you know if I produce something noteworthy. Later Brotha
Munchi	Nov 15 2007 3:30 AM yo bro. long time no see-- how goes the pursuit of electronic music?

Loren	Oct 2 2007 1:30 AM So I think you need to come out and practice DDR more often :] I can see how this could be used to enhance a live performance!
Cherrilyn	Sep 29 2007 4:33 PM Hope all is well with what you enjoy doing in music, and Dios te bendiga! :)
Nick	Sep 29 2007 10:28 AM You're my favorite bassist.
