My restless soul is soothed by playing in bands (Madame Pamita's Parlor of Wonders, The Neptunas, The Birdinumnums, Cheap Chick); going to see bands (mostly alt.country, old-time, garage rock and power pop); playing bass, clawhammer banjo, banjeurine, ukulele, autoharp, and psaltery; finding photographs of 19th century lady banjo players; dressing up, old buildings, new adventures, odd art, used bookstores, un-picked-over thriftshops, homemade musical instruments and worn store-bought ones, irony, epigrams, satire, smart folks with interesting lives, testing the limits, drinking coffee, reading voraciously, making artifacts, meditating, knitting, doing yoga, cultivating curiousity, relentlessly seeking the universal "yes!" and constantly going, being and doing.
Music
I like roots music of any sort, but especially my own personal amalgam of garage and frat rock, power pop, country (the good kind), hokum, ragtime, medicine show, tin pan alley, delta blues and old-timey music - Wilco, Blind Willie McTell, Loretta Lynn, The Sonics, Roy Acuff, Big Star, Cheap Trick, Uncle Dave Macon, The Carter Family, The Five Du-Tones, Attractions-era Elvis Costello, Fountains of Wayne, The Shazam, The Stanley Brothers, Highwoods String Band, Son Volt, Gram Parsons, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Lee Hazelwood, Charlie Poole, Dock Boggs and a thousand musicians that no one has ever heard of.
Everyone needs to buy "Good For What Ails You" - the best album of 2005/2006!
Everyday I say a "thank you" to all the musicians who paved the path I walk upon now.
And I stand on street corners and shout the praises of the following L.A. bands: Order of the Wand, The Neighborhood Bullys, Tracy Huffman, Dan Janisch, Kingsizemaybe, Peachfuzz, Mike Stinson, Skeeter Truck, Sarah Stanley, David Serby and 50 Cent Haircut.
Movies
Dogtown and Z-Boys, any Christopher Guest movie (Best in Show, This is Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind, etc.), Any Hitchcock, Sunset Boulevard, B movies and JD films from the '30s through the '70s, industrial films (especially health class films), anything from the '70s featuring Pam Grier (I want her wardrobe) and really anything with exceptionally bad acting in it.
I am not a big fan of modern horror/action/violence in film or on TV...or in real life, for that matter.
Television
Don't own one. The only TV shows that I can think of that I like are/were Rocky and Bullwinkle and Absolutely Fabulous.
Books
I read and write every day.
Heroes
Loretta Lynn, Dorothy Parker, Oscar Wilde.

When I was two years old, I walked out the door of my house alone and managed to get half a mile away before being picked up by the police...and my life since then has been an eventful series of daring adventures.
Thankfully, subsequent journeys have not involved being picked up by law enforcement officials.
Outsiders, freaks and geeks who are just like me except smarter, nicer and more talented.
NOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADD ME:
This is my "real" MySpace page. I only add people who I know to this profile - some I know in real life, some I know over the internet, but yes, I could actually tell you a story about each and every one of them. And, in the case of some of them, rather incriminating stories. That being said, I'd love to add you.. so, if I know you but your MySpace page is cryptic, send me an email or make contact of some sort, so I recognize you, okay? And please don't take it personally if I don't recognize you and turn down your request.
The rules aren't so strict for my band pages. I'll add just about anyone, unless you're a huckster of some sort or displaying a thong. Click on these to go to my bands pages:

Filmed in Toronto, Ottawa, Niagra Falls and Kingston Ontario Canada, we hope you enjoy our little Anglo-Canandian song and movie as much as we did filming it in the sub-zero, brrrr....
Howdy Madame Pamita. Hope all's well in your world. That downtown bus ride sounds like a blast! Did you get my message about seeing you quoted in a Chuck Klosterman book? Ancient news I'm sure but fantastic! Salute-J fch
We missed you yesterday, birthday girl! I made you cupcakes and the crowd enjoyed them. I have a gift from me and one from Dafni sitting here for you! Heard Saturday was awesome, hope you had fun! p.s. Thank God for Mark Miller yesterday, he helped me take charge of the film screening almost debacle!
