Music, history (espec. WWII, Civil War, Napoleonic times, Victorian age, music history), football (NFL and college), literature, film, any supernatural subjects
Music
love 60s, early 70s rock, British punk, 70s New York punk scene, hardcore, Celtic folk, classic country, blues....basically I can find something I like in just about any musical style, tho some styles I can only take in small doses.
Favorite artists include The Clash, The Cramps, The Cure, Dylan, Stones, Beatles, Black Flag, Elvis Costello, The Kinks, The Doors, Bowie, Led Zep, Kiss, Velvet Underground, Kate Bush, Roky Erikson, Misfits, Screaming Lord Sutch, Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, The Minutemen, The Damned, the Jam, Dead Kennedys. Current things I'm into: re-visiting Echo and the Bunnymen, Fleetwood Mac's early stuff, Goblin Market, She & Him, re-visiting Dead Kennedys, the Libertines, and looking forward to FINALLY seeing both Richard Thompson and The Pogues (two major influences on my celtic band) in concert this March!
Movies
I'll watch pretty much any genre of movie if I'm in the right mood, but my favorites are horror, science fiction, Japanese giant monster movies (Godzilla, et al), film noir, war, foreign, or historical period films.Also like music documentaries and any real cult film. Enjoy "bad" films that are bad enough to be entertaining, and I love films so off-the-wall that they make my jaw drop over the fact that I'm seeing what I'm seeing.
Favorite all-time films include: Scrooge (the 70s musical version with Albert Finney), Rock and Roll High School, Aguirre, the Wrath of God, The Wild Bunch, Dawn of the Dead, The Haunting (the 60s original, not that misbegotten remake with Liam Neeson), Hannah and Her Sisters, Lawrence of Arabia, Almost Famous, Wings of Desire, Halloween, and the Universal and Hammer classic horror films.
Television
Favorite all-time shows: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, Twin Peaks, The Sopranos, SCTV Network 90, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Prisoner, Mr. Show, The Ben Stiller Show, Babylon 5, Star Trek (the original series) Twilight Zone, Deadwood. I watch way too much football, but no other sports of note. I've finally gotten hooked on Lost, after all the urging from my friends. HBO's Trueblood is not great, but still lots of fun.
Books
Favorite writers: Harlan Ellison, H.P. Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Raymond Chandler, Poe, Shakespeare, Peter Straub, Truman Capote, Jack McDevitt.
Fave books: The Dunwich Horror and other tales (H.P. Lovecraft), Salem's Lot (Stephen King), Love in the Ruins (Walker Percy), The Long Goodbye (Raymond Chandler), Something Wicked this Way Comes (Ray Bradbury), Song of Ice and Fire (series by George R.R. Martin), The Hobbit (JRR Tolkien)
Heroes
Joe Strummer, Woody Allen, Ken Stabler, My Dad, Godzilla, Bob Dylan
About me: A native Tennessean...yes, there are still a few of us around. Pretty much the quiet type, but don't get me started! One foot in fantasy, the other foot very nicely grounded. I have my dream I'm chasing, but I appreciate a damn good day job. Lots of interests, but music is something more important, like breathing. Currently, as my alter-ego MR. GHOUL, I work the bass in THE EXOTIC ONES, a monster-rock garage band. I started this band with my late, dear friend Jack Hunter Daves, and also with Rob Campbell. The first band I had with Jack and Rob was THE SECRET COMMONWEALTH., a Celtic band that lasted over 10 years before we decided to take a hiatus and form The Exotic Ones. Rob and I have just now put Secret Commonwealth back together with a new lineup, and hope to have an album out by this Summer of '08.
My other projects include: Working on the Exotic Ones' second album; writing material for a solo album; writing occasional movie reviews for www.eccentriccinema.com, and short stories; and a couple other as-yet-unnamed music projects. What's another band or two, right?
Who I'd like to meet: People who are themselves most of the time, aren't petty most of the time, don't judge most of the time, and have a good time...most of the time. There, how's that for cutting some slack?

Are now available to order for your Halloween parties, Haunted Attractions, Concerts, Movie Premieres, and Zombie Walks!
We take a regular photo of you, turn you into a zombie, and place you on the very cookies you choose to sell at your event, or hand out as treats...but that's not all we can do.
We can take your logo, your promo posters, our photos of your cast members or attractions, and place them on the cookies too!
These are literally one of a kind treats, the cookies you order will be shipped to nobody else. Each cookie has a vivid image of your choice and are delicious. They come wrapped in cellophane with your choice of ribbon color and are then packaged in individual boxes (as seen in the photo above, boxes are optional). These are truly, edible works of dark art.
If you would like more info on pricing or zombie makeovers, feel free to contact me here on Myspace. You won't be disappointed!

Thanks for the birthday wishes brother Troy, very cool. I hope to run into you sometime when Mr. Logue and I are not already several sheets to the wind so that we can actually hang out awhile.
Hi! If you're going to be in the Nashville area next week, I hope you'll stop by the Opry Mills Mall Barnes & Noble to say hi!
I'll be there on Thursday night, Sept. 3rd at 7 p.m., signing copies of my horror novels COVENANT, that came out last fall in paperback, and my new book, SACRIFICE which just hit stores in May! My third novel, THE 13TH is out in hardcover now, and will be in paperback just in time for Halloween.
If you'd like a taste of my fiction, I've posted links to some of my short stories that are available on the web on my MySpace profile page!
Howdeeeeeeeeeee! ... Jus' so proud to be here! I've been waiting for awhile to hear back from my request for the Exotic Ones ... so I came here. When're you playing in Nashville again? Ya'll are my favorite local act, if I had to pick a favorite. By the way, I cannot seem to duplicate scientific findings ... I just keep getting squashed pennies.

I love Big Star! I favor their third album a lot even though they have a different singer. I own that double album too. Must've overlooked my list I suppose, but that is perfectly fine seeing as it is obscenely long and boring. P.S, new song up for your enjoyment! -Bosco Boy
Yep. I do like to change it up a bit don't I? Well, my smart ass pretentious record is almost complete anyways, so I could get you a copy ASAP. (I say it is smart ass because of several reasons: 1. It is called a Short Album About DAYUTH! even though it is going to be roughly an hour in length. 2. It is an EP. and 3. No song sounds similar to the next.
