Music
I like real music with some artistic integrity and substance. Usually something extreme or left of center, and that doesn't include all the kiddie pop/fake rock/thug moron/idol whore/dancing douchebag/mainstream bullshit that is shoved down everyone's throats in the malls or on network TV. There's no excuse for mediocrity, and I feel that most mainstream artists rip off everyone else before them, and that they produce complete drivel. For the most part... F88K THE MAINSTREAM!!!
Some bands I DO like:
METAL Judas Priest Iron Maiden Queensryche Dream Theater Carcass (Heartwork and Necroticism are two of the greatest metal albums ever!) Arch Enemy Testament Overkill Old Man's Child Samael Metal Church KISS Black Sabbath Ozzy Dio Dokken (still love 'em!) Lynch Mob M. Manson Deathstars Type O Negative Motley Crue Dimmu Borgir The Kovenant Slayer Prong Alice In Chains Savatage Crimson Glory Gothminister Sirenia Therion (vintage 1970's) Scorpions Laaz Rockit Flotsam and Jetsam Fates Warning Anacrusis Amon Amarth Fear Factory
GOTH/INDUSTRIAL/EBM/ELECTRO/DARKWAVE/ETC. Skinny Puppy Front Line Assembly Ministry LARD Revolting Cocks :Wumpscut: Covenant Switchblade Symphony Sisters of Mercy PIG KMFDM NIN Slick Idiot Chiasm ASY9 OhGr Hanzel Und Gretyl Voodou Apocalypse Theatre High Blue Star Fields of the Nephilim Bauhaus Angelspit Android Lust Mankind Is Obsolete
... and many more... mainly thrash/death/black/classic/power/progressive/TRUE Metal, Industrial, some Goth, some EBM, darkwave, old school punk (not this bubble-gum radio-friendly crap), post-punk, Electroclash, New Wave, and some other sprinklings of rock.
I've been raised around and appreciate Jazz, Lounge, Big Band, Classical, Film Scores, Broadway, MGM Musicals, and old Country.
BANDS THAT NEED TO DIE: Too many. I'm pretty opinionated about my music.
If you think all of this is pretentious, talk to me in person sometime! HAHAHA!

Heroes
Gene Simmons, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio... mainly rock stars.
I also owe Vince Marshall (now currently in Black Dahlia) a lot for turning me on to some of the stuff I'm into musically nowadays.

About me: Hairstylist by day...
By night, I've been spinning Industrial and Gothic music at nightclubs in St. Louis since 2000, and I also run Spookhouse Events Productions and www.stlouisgothic.com. I believe in supporting the bands, artists, and music within the scene, as well as other DJs and promoters who share the same passion. I've been doing this for close to a decade now,and I think it's well past a being a "phase", and more of an obsession!
Currently, I am resident dj at RAPTURE: EVERY MONDAY:
Keep up with Requiem events, playlists, music news, and more!
Who I'd like to meet: Rockers, models, artists, music fiends, intellectual hellraisers, cool freaks, and people that are genuinely REAL.
Oh yeah... less over-sensitivity and an ability to lighten up and recognize SARCASM is a nice trait, too. >:P
Dislikes:
Closed-mindedness, fundamentalist religious idiots, pushy people, racists, ignorance, hypocrisy, violent people, Republicans, flag-waving assholes who believe in blind patriotism and have no respect for the rights of others, poseurs, bandwagon jumpers, trend-heads, emo, rap, modern country, hip hop, most mainstream music (I am EXTREMELY opinionated on this one), American Idol, idiot juggalos (there ARE exceptions, but I still think the bands suck), or any other crap that gets shoved down your throat wherever you go.
Cheers my friend. Just passing to wish you a great day. Sharing a cold one with your friends is some of the most fun you can have with you pants on !!! "Fear no beer" and always, Rock On... Timo kaarkoski - Temple of Sin
Thanx Joel, Something about this time of year always takes me back to feeling SOW-ish and Lemp-ish! I had no idea you were still playing it at your events...that means a lot to me. Hope you're having a blast tonight at Beelzeball, I'm sure everyone is! Cheers, Spence
