I am currently working with DIV/Runninthings Records 130+BPM dance music projects. Planning another vinyl pressing.
Oh yeah! I have a train growing in the basement. It's N gauge so it will require miles & miles of track to reach the 9th circle, but I have a feeling that if I keep chuggin along I'll get there.I have not worked on the train for over two years now. My synthesizer habit has gotten out of control. I sit in the "cockpit" every night surrounded by the synthesizer herd and wait for inspiration. When I am not recording I am creating beats and grooves to use for future projects. I am also building my next analog modular synthesizer. It's easier than it sounds.
I am also interested in paying my mortgage, not eating so much sugar, trying to maintain an erection,tiny titties that don't bounce but "jingle",and gigantic asses-like two baked hams,man!
Because I and most of my friends will be gypted out of anything resembling social security, I have developed my own fool-proof retirement plan. It involves a personal savings account that turns more pallid and anemic every year, a large bottle of sedatives, a fifth of cheap vodka, & a plastic bag over my head------ Rock on runny nosed wannabees!!!
Since Myspace does not have an area for my dislikes, here they are:

Neko Case,the Decemberists,Johnny Cash, Jellyfish, Queen, Elvis Costello, Zappa, Beatles, Spacehog, Fastball, Matt & Tom, my previous understudy LG, Kansas, King Crimson(not the new crap), Ween, Black Sabbath(not the new crap), Pink Floyd(not the new crap), Yes(not the new crap). But hell- that was in my teeth cutting days.There are too many to mention, really.I prefer talk radio or classical because- well, because I'm just getting a little old, crotchety, & tired.Lately I have discovered the beauty of Ambient music.Try tuning in to the Drone Zone on SOMA FM on line sometime. It's a whole new world.

Television
Television serves it's purpose well, creating a nation of people who need a thigh master or arch supports, what have ya.
Personally I enjoy the news, PBS, or scary televangelists.Having cable is like paying some retarded boy to beat you in the head with a rubber mallet all day and night.
Books
The Bible, Faust, Better than Sex, The Kama Sutra, Leg Show, Ethan Frome,
Crumb. I haven't finished reading Catcher in the Rye yet, and never will. As a matter of fact I should throw the hideous abomination out.
..
Heroes
Lenny Bruce,Frank Zappa,Alex Jones,The maniac who commandeered a tank and went nuts on a California freeway or the guy who sealed himself inside of a gigantic bulldozer and literally knocked down city hall and all of the businesses owned by the local good-ol-boys government who just had to push him too far(remember, they did it for all of us).
About me: I dropped out of art school in 1984. If anyone has ever seen the movie, "Art School Confidential", that pretty much sums up the way it is there. I was the punk with all of my art supplies crammed into a guitar case.My mom pushed me hard to become an artist, and then freaked out when I actually did become an artist.
Anyway - I could actually draw and paint when I got to art school so the professors decided to pick on me and told the rest of the students "this is not how you want to draw". That seems to be the standard treatment of those who enter the horrifying world of art school who have talent.
.
I developed a music habit at an early age, and because my parents did'nt let me out of the house much - I started playing music. I still have a Hammond organ in my basement, but have recently gone digital as noone wants to help lug around a 500 Lb organ. I do alot of recording and usually fall asleep in my "studio" every night.
My favorite mediums to work in are pencil and acrylic paint. I work as an artist so I tend not to draw and paint so much in my spare time. I left the art world for ten years or so to work on the phone. It paid better, and the people were actually weirder and more fun than artists. I have returned,but now my opinion matters a little more.
I enjoy cooking and staying home. The fact that I do most of my music on the computer and have no need for an actual drummer to make this music - I can sit in one central location and create.
I bought my first Hammond organ when I was seventeen.
"You payed $500 for that piece of shit?!"
Mom had no idea what she had gotten me into encouraging me to be artistic. She lives a block away from me and avoids me like an Arab
would a real dunk-em-in-the-river baptism.
I have been involved in many bands over the years: Midcoast Bedlam, Johnny Smoke, Bastard Audio, Jiffy Pop, Beeker Street, too many to mention.
So enjoy my neurosis- I do. Wouldn't trade places with anyone.
My worst fear is people not finding me utterly charming.
This is the 100% digital DJ rig i put together. It is a pure pleasure to operate and one of the weirdest looking things you'll ever see making music.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who has been to Bohemian Grove... or Hell.I'd also like to meet the idiot who invented that slick, wax paper-like toilet paper that doesn't absorb shit, but rather spreads it around your ass.Cheap employers buy this stuff thinking they are saving money because it is less expensive per roll, but it takes way too much of the stuff to actually accomplish the "wiping". I would like to meet that sorry son-of-a-bitch and deck him right in the jaw.
