my primary interests involve industrial music; playing, listening to, and studying. i spend most of my time these days working on my pseudo-solo vaguely-coldwave project, everything goes cold. you should go listen to it.
i have been (and occasionally still am) a member of several other bands of some note, including psyclon nine, ayria, deathline int'l, and see colin slash. i've made guest appearances in like a zillion more- i was literally on stage with 10 bands in 2007 because that is how i roll. that's right.
by day, i'm a systems administrator at a smallish san francisco company that was recently acquired by the real-life equivalent of cyberdyne systems from the terminator movies. or maybe OCP from robocop, or weyland-yutani from the alien franchise. something like that. not the tyrell corporation though, the comparison kinda breaks down at that point.
i also enjoy cheese, small dogs, and cartoons. i aspire to become some combination of those things at some point in my life.
the UI, performance, and reliability of this site are dubious at best, and if you need to get ahold of me i would strongly encourage you to contact me through other means if possible, although i do my best to respond to messages sent to this profile in a timely fashion. my livejournal is a good place to start if you're looking to get ahold of me quickly.
Who I'd like to meet:
i cannot emphasize this strongly enough:
PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME AN UNSOLICITED ADD REQUEST IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ME PERSONALLY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ONLY KNOW OF ME BECAUSE YOU'RE A FAN OF A BAND I PLAY IN.
i appreciate the support, i really do, but this is my personal account, and i maintain it for communication with people i know. if you are a psyclon nine fan, and would like to talk to the band, please use their profile, or nero's. i'm happy to discuss technical and musical issues via messaging, but i have no information about psyclon's future tour dates, lyrical content, etc. these are not the droids you're looking for. seriously. if you have questions about something else i work on, you can message me at this account, but you should just add the account for the appropriate project.
if you would like to talk to me, and you don't know me, please, message me! i'm always happy to talk about music, linux, bolivia, rabbits, whatever. if you add me, i will presume you are somebody i know personally, and will get pissed off when i've had to go to your profile, wait for it to load, and spend five minutes clicking around trying to figure out if you're that dude i met while i was drunk at some show in utah three years ago that i should really talk to about some boring logistical matter, or just some asshole who didn't bother to read this section.
i dislike this website. i maintain this page for the purposes of maintaining business contacts, and communicating with friends. not for meeting new people, not for dating, not for making friends. i like making friends in real life. not through loud and poorly designed webpages that automatically play music and crash my browser.
THE RETURN OF THE BAT
Specimen will bring their special brand of glam mayhem, The Batcave to London again.
After last year’s wildly-successful 25th anniversary Batcave event, The Batcave returns to its original spawning ground of London’s West End on Sunday July 19 for another night of blasphemy, lechery and blood.
Specimen (Fresh from a fantastic show at Leipzig’s Waves Gotik festival), the original Batcave instigators will headline the lurid frolics at the Embassy Club, (29 Old Burlington St, London W1S3AP) Also on the bill are original Batcavers Sexbeat, with DJs Hamish and Cavey Nick, cavorting from decks to decadence with the usual brutal, trouser-dropping surprises & suitably confronting & barbaric entertainment.
The 2009 Batcave will feature installations from exciting new artists of the ‘Dark London Underground’ and visuals from the upcoming ‘Welcome To The Batcave’ book, along with this year’s bitcrushed message from the creature in t
yeah...the effects were HORRIBLE and it seemed as though they didn't really WANT to deal with the memory loss, thus placing it at the EXACT end and it being..."who are you?" lol. other than that, i am with you on he sabretooth/wolverine relationship...IT WAS EXCELLENTLY EXECUTED. i do agree with you, if someone isn't a wolverine fan, it wouldn't be wise for them to see the film.
ok ok, what about the comic book with the female version of clockwork? you ever heard of that? i have a patch from it-diana knows about it, apparently they've discontinued production...have you heard about it? i want to get my hands on a copy of it.
Realizing resistance was futile, Kirby went to his special place, visualizing a world where Kirbys were free to eat cupcakes and where savagely inhaling crazy bitches with ponytails would make him a hero instead of an outcast, emasculated and defeated on a shitty cable show.
