I don't really know what I want out of this. I'm a quasi-goth/industrial/punk guy who digs industrial/experimental music, and I feel kind of alone and confused in the city I am presently living in. I guess I generally tend to get along better with females than with males and am just looking to make connections with people. Whatever develops from that can only be imagined.

Graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 2007 with a BA in Communication and Culture. Somehow ended up back home in 2008 and work in a warehouse - go figure. I make experimental electronic/industrial music (with a few releases under my belt); I am occasionally a radio and club DJ (notably I was resident DJ at a club in Bloomington for 2.5 years); I've done writing for a magazine. Still kind of looking for my calling I guess. Trying to save up money for the time being so I can go somewhere more exciting.

I have spikey hair; I have a silly last name; I have a weird sense of humor; I'm a good listener.

My roots are in industrial/experimental/ambient/electronic/technoid music, but I always have my hands in other genres. Low, Autechre, Nick Cave, Haujobb, Gridlock, Orphx, Magazine, Swans, Lassigue Bendthaus, Suicide, Wire, Morphine, Seluah, The Klinik, Mayhem, Kool Keith, Chris Isaak, Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, Woven Hand, Slowdive, Hecq, Antonio Carlos Jobim, John Cage, Muslimgauze, King Black Acid, The Beach Boys, Smog, Talk Talk, The Cramps, The Gerogerigegege, Cranes, Barry Adamson, Motor, The Church, Prometheus Burning, Einstuerzende Neubauten, Liasons Dangereuses, D.A.F., Forma Tadre, Pan Sonic, Bill Evans, Leonard Cohen, Turn Pale, Airiel, Photek, Prince, Jim O'Rourke, Neurosis, Whitehouse, Chopin, Arvo Part, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Vader, Tod Dockstader, Gorgoroth, Johnny Cash, Zapp and Roger, Throbbing Gristle, yelworC, Savage Republic, Mantronix, Sad Lovers and Giants, The Beach Boys, Ali Farka Toure, Rachel's, Bernhard Guenter, Reatards, Collide...

I like bizarre movies. Some of my favorites include (but are certainly not limited to): Bad Boy Bubby, Koyaanisqatsi, Pootie Tang, Alien(s), The Wicker Man (1973 version), Solaris (1972 version), Tetsuo, Frankenhooker, The Dark Knight, Lost Highway, Falling Down, etc.

I own a fair amount of books but have only actually read about a third of them (if that), so I guess that means I prefer buying books over reading them. Typically I enjoy H.P. Lovecraft, John Cage, J.G. Ballard, Carl Sagan, music biographies, history, politics, graphic novels...

I love BREAKFAST! I also love Thai food, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Turkish, moderately spicy stuff, etc. I tend to eat junk food too unfortunately. I am certifiably omnivorous. Generally speaking, I will eat or at least try just about anything, but I have a noted distaste for mushrooms and cold tomatoes.

Music, movies, people, the internet, bananas, myself.

I think too much.

I've had some considerable history with depression. Trying not to be too ashamed of it anymore. Really I'm a pretty good-humored guy, but I'm definitely learning that I've gotta be up front with this stuff.

...if you feel like messaging me, go nuts. I can't always guarantee that I will be available or that I'll even be checking this thing a week from now, but you never know. I like thoughtful, creative people who enjoy conversation, hanging out and listening to music/watching movies, and have a sense of humor and a relatively small number of taboos. I also like a lot of weird music and stuff, so it's a plus if you're into that sort of thing.
