VegasRazz's Interests
|
| Music | Anything raw, primative and real. It varies from The Cramps (probably my fave) and The Ramones to Shane McGowan, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young and everything in between. Heavy into Surf-Spy-Western instramentalistism, Johnny Cash, Minneapolis in the 80s (Husker Du-Replacements etc.), crazy Phil Specter produced girl bands, Angelo Badlamenti (sp?), nasty blues from 20s-30s & 40s, Rocko/Psychobilly, some of the of the older (40s & 50s)jazz, same goes for hillbilly; good ethnic (Irish, Eastern European, Spanish/Mexican) ...some bad ethnic... ska... there's more WAIT! there's more!... WAIT!... WWAAAIIITTTT!!!!
| | Movies | 70s New York cop films (the Seven-ups, Taking of Pelham 1-2-3), 1950s Orson Welles (The third Man, Touch of Evil...though, that might be early 60s) Stanley Kubrick (I think that I made it a point to have seen every one of his movies) B-Movie-Cult-'Sploitation....Bruce Campbell and the Ramie (sp?) boys, Cohen brothers, some of the newer french stuff: 'City of Lost Children', 'Triplets of Belleville'. Grew up on Python. I love Guy Ritchie's work, you know, pryor to his demonic wife SUCKING HIS MORTAL SOUL RIGHT OUT OF HIM!!!! Seriously! The guy was way cool until she got her icy talons around his throat! AND WHAT'S WITH HER FAKE BRITISH ACCENT!?!?!? She was raise in freakin' Detroit!
 | | Television | I've been getting into 'Ghost Hunters', but no real "I have to be home 'cause my story is on" series is grabbing me. I used to watch 'Behind the Music' but I don't even think that's on anymore. I usually get into something then lose interest. I try to catch the Daily Show; Venture Bros. is cool, but they change the time on it and now it's on way too late for me (freakin' Belgium bastards!!). History Channel...Sports...Frontline is still great. Rollergirls. And, of course....
 | | Books | Books?....what?....Oh yeah, books. At a young age I was hit squarely on the head with the 'beat generation' stuff and it took me a long time to get most of that out of my system (there's still a little left). Also, Vonnegut was/is a fave; Leon Uris, James Michener, a lot of spy stuff; American history. Mostly, though, these days it's biographies (are you still awake?). Oh yeah, and anything that has to do with people burning stuff.
| | Heroes | Kerouac, The Cramps, The Roosevelts, Mary, Terry Gilliam, Pierre Trudeau, Groucho Marx, Churchill, Che Guevara...Johnny Cash, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Shane MacGowan... Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, Marky, Tommy ...Len Puch, Slagle, Jerry Vile...Max&August... Kara-Taylor-Liam and a bunch of others...alive and dead!....Oh yeah, and Arthur Guinness!!! |

VegasRazz's Blurbs |
About me:
Over achieving n'er-do-well, fraudulent musician, stealer of other people's jokes, bigfoot tracker, ufo sighter, former haunted house dweller, chronic sloth, snake charmer, bible salesman (sorry, person) and tree watcher...I don't hug them, I just watch them. Actually it's one tree in particular that's got me thinkin'
Involved in the Detroit music scene, on and off, for the last 20 years or so. Founded, along with long time writing partner, Len Puch, the critically ignored, nearly popular and practically legendary psychobilly band, Art Phag (we were big in Europe, though I swear! Belgium people loved us!). Also, spent time in such contraptions as The Lucky Charms, Vegas Razz Experience and I think there was another one...or so. Art Phag drifted apart in the early-mid 90s (freakin Belgium bastards!). Soon after, I began to do stand-up comedy. Not because I'm funny, but because I didn't want to get a real job. Hey, what can you do? I held out as long as I could.
I didnt really do anything musically again until around 2002, when my wife co-founded an all moms band called The Mydols. At that time, I began to write music for them and also for myself. Aside from other projects, in April of '05 I wrote and recorded 'Roller Derby Queen' for Detroit's beautiful, sweet, lovely and patholgically violent Detroit Derby Girls roller derby league (the song might even be playing now- sometimes it's playing, sometimes something else is playing...It's like a mystery...freakin Belgium bastards!)
Currently writing material for recordings that I hope will happen soon. Could be part of an Art Phag-ish-esques side project, or possibly a stripped down solo thing. Hopefully, sometime this year. All this with the hopes of becoming critically ignored, nearly popular and practically legendary once again.
