Tim's Interests
|
| General | Music/starting a band/learning any instrument that I possibly can (currently learning: Trumpet, harmonica, guitar, bass, keyboard/piano). Books--as far as fiction, I only really read Stephen King (I haven't found another author I like, and I think Dean Koontz sucks), and as far as nonfiction, I prefer documentaries about politics and/or the punk rock/underground scene movements. | | Music | In alphabetical order: Alkaline Trio, Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, Black Sabbath/Ozzy Ozbourne (Ozzy Rules, Dio bites it), Blink-182, Bottle Rockets, The Clash, Collective Soul, Cracker, The Damned, Dead Kennedys, Fall Out Boy, Flogging Molly, Green Day, Jimmy Buffet, Louis Armstrong, Midnight Oil, NOFX, The Offspring, OK Go, Pennywise, REM, Ramones/Joey Ramone, Rancid, Sum 41, U2, Rock Against Bush (Hell Yeah!), ZZ Top, and various others. | | Movies | Rock 'N' Roll High School, Pet Sematary, The Stand, Spaghetti Westerns, Fahrenheit 9/11, and that one Pokemon movie--it was pretty damn funny :) | | Television | I'm big into animated comedies like Family Guy, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and South Park (especially Family Guy). I don't necessarily share all the views of those shows, but I still like 'em 'cause they're still funny. | | Books | Favorite books include The Stand & The Dark Tower by Stephen King, as well as Phantoms & Whispers by Dean R. Koontz. Also by Koontz, The Bad Place is okay just because of how bad it sucked--it was so bad, it actually wrapped around the scale and became good (Mentally Insufficient Telekinetic Hermaphrodite Vampires FTW!). I also like to read fan fiction (that doesn't suck), because so much popular fiction today is just fluff and wordiness, and I like to get in touch with other amateurs and swap ideas for stories and such (I also write fanfics; you can find my longest one, "Silent Hill 5: Back of Beyond" at fanfiction.net). | | Heroes | Joey & The Ramones, definitely. I never would have learned to play guitar (some would call that a blessing) if not for the Ramones. Also, ZZ Top, Green Day & The Offspring, for helping me advance my guitar style & stance. Stephen King, too, because he inspired me to write stories and he helped me form the basis of my own horror style--they're all really inspirational figures to me. |

Tim's Blurbs |
About me:
Hi, I'm Tim. I've been playing guitar and bass for about a year and a half now, and I'm looking for like-minded musicians who are interested in pursuing a career in the music industry. I'm particularly partial to punk, grunge, pop, and rock, but I'm still branching out, so I'm willing to learn just about anything. I don't want to "sell out," per se, though I also don't want to be in a band that's going to put its ideologies over the quality of the music (i.e. "I won't play solos because that's not punk," or "I won't play that because it's not metal," etc. etc.). I have my dislikes, too, but I can't stand genre-oriented players. Genres can only be stretched so far before they become stale. In any case, if you're interested in joining/forming a band, hit me up :)

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet Stephen King (I'm a hardcore fan, and I own and have read everything he's written to date). My all-time biggest musical influences, though, are as follows, in no particular order: Green Day, The Offspring, Ramones, Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedys, Midnight Oil, Collective Soul, NOFX, Sum 41, Alkaline Trio, Anti-Flag, Cracker, The Clash, The Bottle Rockets, OK Go, and Bad Religion.
Other stuff I listen to (that I like, but haven't had the time to get to know really well yet) includes Tim Armstrong and Rancid, Fall Out Boy, and The Damned.
Stuff I like but have no particular attachment to includes U2 and REM.
Stuff I absolutely can't stand includes The Sex Pistols (see blog), The Killers (also see blog), Slipknot, Metallica/any screamo-puke band, any band/artist whose entire career rides on the fact that they are part of a certain genre (i.e. "it doesn't matter how we sound because we're punk, right? We got the image!").
