    My Last.fm/Audioscrobbler profile gives a breakdown of the bands I listen to.

    Also be sure to check my myspace friends for bands not listed here, since most of them are bands I listen to.

    Don’t feel like checking out my myspace friends or last.fm profile? Oh well. Mostly I listen to (in no specific order) 90s rock, nearly every subgenre of metal known to man, classical, video game and movie soundtracks, electronic, and classic rock.

    Now playing:

    Waynes World 1 and 2
    Bill and Ted series
    Clerks (and the rest of kevin smith's movies)

  • Books

    FREE CULTURE: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity' by Lawrence Lessig - this is the ..best.. non-fiction book i ever read. go download it here. This book gave me new insight into what i already tell people about the industry and the future of technology.

    The best 'fictional' books I read were Lord of the Rings (series) and 1984. Though I am not sure if 1984 counts as fiction these days.

    Silver Surfer, Spiderman, Hulk, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Gambit, Rogue, Batman, Superman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusers...

About me:

This is my personal myspace, so I don't know you, and you don't really want to get to know me, please add Metal Underground's Myspace Page. instead, especially if you are looking for some promotion for your band. Feel free send me a message if you want me to check out your band or for other inquiries.

I am a graduate of The School of Audio Engineering (SAE) in NYC. I do live sound, produce, record, mix, master, and promote underground bands. I will mix any project or recording that you are working on. See the details below in my " Who I'd like to meet" section

I work for Metal Underground.com - Some music was meant to stay underground., a metal news, reviews, interviews, and band database site. Message me if you want to get your CD reviewed by either me or another member of Metal Underground.

Our latest headlines:
Metal Underground .com

Who I'd like to meet:

I made this profile to network, not really to make more friends, but feel free to message me and strike up a conversation.

Anyone involved in the music industry. I am proud to be networking crazy. Specifically, though, I am looking to meet bands that want to record their music or have it mixed or mastered. I have professional quality near field monitors for accurate mixing. I charge $100 a song for my mixing services. The price is negotiable and am willing to take points on an album as payment. I also do mastering for $25 a song. Recording is $100 for a song plus studio fees and travel costs (provided there is any of that) and of professional quality (better than most demos I hear on myspace). I also do live gigs and can record them. Message me here or on aim (zmetallica) for more details and samples of my work.

I got an open mind for advice and honesty. I'd rather hear what you really have to say than not hearing it at all and I hope to meet people with that same view.

    Thanks for the add, good sir.

    I'll let you mix my songs, but they aren't anything... special, or interesting, or complicated. So you're going to have quite a task ahead of you to take nothing and do something with it.
