life, death, freinds, enemies, happyness, strife, pleasure, pain, love, hate, the shitty small town i grew up in, partying, hanging over, and all the things in this world that can make me feel something or someway that I can only talk about or express through music.....................
Certain people that have influenced me to make music and/or my stlyee are: Bradley Nowell R.I.P., John Lennon R.I.P., 2pac R.I.P., Brian Burton, Matt Lady, Aarron Work, Roger Waters, Steve Holiday, my music theory teacher in 12th grade even though the prick failed me, My buddy Mikey G for trading me his Fender acoustic guitar for a 50 sack'o'nugs when I was 18 that was my first guitar, Kurt Cobain R.I.P, My 5th grade teacher Mrs. Rupe for encouraging me to write, Tim Armstrong, Robert DiNeiro, every cage-rat especially Tom and Murph, my brother Dave, Justin Kendle, Dave McCann, GAK, Bob Pierce, the Myspace Stalker (you know who you are. ahaha.), Johnny Cash R.I.P., Bob Marley R.I.P, the local Witch Doctor, my cousin Steph, Dave Grohl, Richard Downey and the whole OCM crew who were when I started live gigs, and all my good freinds that have died or straight moved up and moved on, got nothing but love for you all.................................. .
Bands that were there for me along the way at some point or another: Sublime, NoFX, The Bucket Agency, The Rooftops, The Beatles, Wu-Tang Clan, Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Downright Hooligans, Recliner (haha), The Strokes, 2pac, Radiohead, Tool, Pink Floyd, Tenacious D, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Bob Dylan, Rancid, Op Ivy, Bone Thugs, Weezer, Hendrix, and many many many more but you get the point...
I am James T. aka JimmyJames, Tegz, Vinny Vintage... some simply call me Jim... I am 25. Got my first guitar when I was 18 by trading a 50 bag for it, proof that its never too late too learn. I live for music.. I play and write songs as a form of therapy.. I hope to one day be able to write genuinly happy songs about life and what not... but seems like a long shot considering the run of bad luck if been having lately... you just gotta keep on... anyway played in the band Popcan Soundsystem.. It was awesome.. J Kendle, D McCann and GAK are great musicians and even better men.. I love those guys.. I love all kinds of music and dont really have a specific stlye, but i gotta be honest i don't like that pounding raver techno shit at all, gives me a headache .... Punk/rock'n'roll/hiphop/ska/reggae/acoustics is the shit.. I am actually a college graduate from Indiana University of Pa. But truthfully, i wish i never went... waste of time and money, but whatever ya know... guess it cant hurt having a degree... I try not to regret things too much in my life... at this point, I really only have 1 big 1and maybe a few more... Everything else that I could and probable should regret, I just chalk it up to a bump in the road and move on... I really hate politics, the whole government is crooked and they only care about lining their own pockets... so fuck'em...anyways... I'm just trying to live the good life... so should you.........onelove..................
