Turntabling.net is my new Chicago-based label and blog. Please say hello at Turntabling.net.
I am a fulltime freelance writer, musician, video editor, voiceover hack, photographer, Italian cinephile, foodie and book lover. That is, I love to read them rather than make love to them. You can also check out Cheap Today to see where else I am scribbling and editing. Also see my column at Long Island Exchange and my blog for freelancers, Freelance-Zone.com. I'm not terribly busy or anything.
Music
DEVO, Miles Davis, Mystic Moods Orchestra, Tones on Tail, Hyperbubble, 70s porn soundtrack music, Morricone, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Tubeway Army, Missing Persons, John Cage, Eno, Richard D. James, Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Stormtroopers of Death, Kraftwerk, Mission Giant, Isaac Hayes
Movies
Does it have a zombie in it? Does it appear to be French, existentialist, and non-linear? How many samurai are gunned down by anachronistic weaponry in the 17th century? Are people speaking Italian badly dubbed into English? At least one reference to non-Euclidian geometry, obscure ancient texts of evil lore, summoning the Elder Gods, or multi-dimensional shambling horrors from the outer darkness, and I'm there.
Books
Anything by Hunter S. Thompson, Burroughs, Bukowski, JK Husymans, Oscar Wilde, William Gibson, the Re:Search bunch, Poe, Toby Young, and books purported to have been written by or with the assistance of The Devil. Only because that's such a ridiculous concept.
Heroes
Emo Phillips, Brian Eno, a puddle of spilled Scotch, anyone currently not decaying that owns an original pressing of a John Trubee and the Ugly Janitors of America album, Ravi Shankar, Frank Tovey, Warhol, and Boris Karloff.
I'm one of THEM - A former Springfield, Illinois basement dweller who ran off to travel the world and eventually settle down in Chicago. My current gigs: Editor, professional blogger, finance writer, music journalist, photographer, video editor, musician and indie filmmaker.
Visit my many projects--I rant about vinyl albums and related ephemera at Turntabling.net which is also home of my Chicago-based microlabel, I discuss how to make a living as a freelance writer at Freelance-Zone.com and I blog about saving money, cheap deals, bargains online and the corporate wars for your dollar at Cheap Today.
I'm also an indie musician. Paisley Babylon and the various atrocities committed under the former Zombie Records are among my sonic activities. I also record and perform with Texas-based psych pioneers Crevice. You could call me a little busy.
Who I'd like to meet:
Brian Eno, Jello Biafra, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Satan, Miles Davis, Michael Palin, Peter Cook, Tortelvis, and Joe Wallace.

Hrm, live here is grand but busy! I'm in a history class that is pretty time demanding and we have an exercise next week... :-.. But yea, I think I'm going to definitely purchase GOOP to have in my car! :-D
As you may or may not know, I turned twenty-five the other day. Instead of gifts this year, I'm asking everyone to join my Email List on www. jjhebert. net. Unconventional, my newest novel, will be published by Mindstir Media later this year, and joining the Email List will ensure that you receive updates regarding my book release, contests, giveaways, and more.
MARVELOUS!! Thanks for supporting the CLAW, good sir. Hope you'll be able to make it out for a little onstage bloodletting some day soon - who knows, maybe it'll be your own...
Just wanted to give you a heads up that my latest forensic crime thriller, Freezer Burn, is coming out June 3! It will be available in bookstores everywhere next week, and it’s available for preorder on Amazon right now! I'll be doing a bunch of events in and around Philadelphia. For details, see my profile. Thanks for the friendship!
stop by and hear my friend play if you're free. by the way this would make an interesting article, musicians who have problems with their ears that interferes with playing music etc.
