Interests

  • General

    Bass, Performing, building and restoring things, architecture, design and some stuff that I wouldn't post in a public forum. Oh yeah, Coffee plays a big part in my life too...

  • Music

    I dig all forms of music (some, a lot more selectively than others). Roots, americana, trip hop, rock, funk.... (I'm a slave to trad and modern bossanova). I'm into vintage gear and I love listening to music that incorporates the tones/sounds/spirit of the gear I dig... again, any list would be exclusionary...

  • Movies

    Freeway, Apocalypse Now, Mystery Train, Barton Fink, Down by Law, The Ice Storm, most Kubrick films and a lot more of course...

  • Television

    I watch almost NO television but I dig the Daily Show, IFC, Sundance, History, PBS, Discovery and all that hippie indie crap. You get the idea. Steelers and Penguins whenever possible...

  • Books

    I read a lot of books. Mostly music/interest related. Recently: Analog Days, A&R, Howlin' at the Moon, Yes Yes Y'all, This Band Could be Your Life, The Hood Comes First. Lots of musician Biographies. Recent non music related: Devil in the White City, The Corrections, The Road, The Amazing Adventures of Cavaleir and Klay..

  • Heroes

    Mitchell Froom, Mike Watt, Chris Wood, Bruce Thomas, Colin Moulding, James Jamerson, Mark Sandman, Beck etc. A lot of my friends are everyday superheroes - i won't embarrass anyone but I know some undeniably incredible people...

Blurbs

About me:

I am a Bass player with a horrible gear acquisition problem. My bass/amp collection is pretty sizable. I have my own little side biz doing Contracting/remodeling and have spent a good deal of time writing grants for Boston Public Schools.

More random facts about me: mosquitoes love me. if you are near me on a hot, soupy evening, you will not get ANY mosquito bites. I am a sucker for new toothbrush designs. I'm a complete geek about / am obsessed with vintage music gear.tube amps, instruments, effects processors. I like to build things with my hands. I interpret almost everything visually. I have about twenty black t-shirts and 8 pairs of the same shoes. Music - dark and dirty and flannel (unless it's bossa) .. ..
MySpace Layouts
..

Who I'd like to meet:

Simply put, I'd like to meet interesting people that engage and challenge me in a positive way.

Specifically - In my dreams: Mitchell Froom, Christina Ricci, Bob Moog (RIP), Tom Waits, Beck, PJ Harvey ...and about 5000 other people so any specific list would be exclusionary really. (oh, and please don't e-mail me to inform me that Bob Moog is dead). I meet interesting peeps almost daily.

Musically, I'd like to meet artists to collaborate with. I just may want to join or build a project with you. - guitarists, synth/key players, percussionists, vibes, DJ's... anything. If you're in the Boston area and want to collaborate, hit me up.

    ICB! Awesome. I tried to find a Boston store that sold it for the Steelers Super Bowl. None within a four hour drive.

    Hopefully, the game will be well in hand by the time I have to leave for the Burren. That's all I ask. Last time I had to leave a Steelers/Chargers playoff game early, it was 1995. That has to never happen again.

    Strange you should add "Los Angeles" to your profile today -- I was just fooling around trying to remember how to play it yesterday. I used to cover it solo acoustic playing coffeehouses in college. Great song -- hadn't heard this version. "Old Black Dawning" is also a favorite.

    Yeah, I dig it...I think that song sounds like what Audrey from Twin Peaks would listen to if she lived in an urban area rather than in the middle of nowhere northwest.
    Marian Who-ssa-- HA!
