Details
Interests:
Music, real music, all the perks that go with it.
PC gaming, the only thing left that has any diginity left yet in the world of video games, as the Mcdonalds philiosophy is applied reagardless of quality, ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE OR die... like every other console game to ever hold back, be held back or commit brutal acts of rape to the universe.
Music taste:
specifics: WWW.KEXP.ORG -> for a live stream 128kbs, specialtie genera shows that are held for up to 2 weeks in a stream 24/7 aailiablitie that gose up to 1.4 megs in quality, and trust me they play allmost ever genera that would equate to modern music since the 50's, and even then they reach into the past for the greates of blue grass, jazz, and old school rockabilly precursurs.

Ted Nugent
Guns n Roses
Slayer
Black Stone Cherry ->(and may we all pray to the Gods that they dont get corupted by getting hit slingles and play on comercial radio stations), would be a terrible waste of a lot of unique talent for a straight up rock band, not to mention lyrical depth, wich is non existant in main stream rock or any kind of main stream music for that matter)

I could probably name half a million more, but its just not coming to me, also the list isnt exactly in any order, just which ones came to me after the other.
BTW 90 percent or more of those are played on KEXP.ORG lot o punk bands as I am listening to the punk show they play ever saturday night from 10 to midnight, for them specificly find the program entitled Sonic Reducer in the on demand playback programs, should have 2 dates in the catagorie, 2 hours each and can be played any time... Its kinda like Tivo, only in a magical fairy land where tv on average had programing worth a sh*t, much less rewinding and loosing that much time for ever and ever, never getting it back, fortunetly the magical land of fairies is KEXP and you dont need the whole bag of mushrooms to see God, Jesus, Buddah, and Jim Morrison all rockin out in the corner.
Any music that is good music. Most of that comes from any hip hop artists that arent main stream, or arent trying with desperation to "make it". Funy how I allways was into the music, not the life style.
Couse that goes for most artists to be around after The Offspring f***ed it up for the general artits that are supposed to make up punk roc
by making an album that was punk, that sold over 12 million copies and tipped off the record label jerk offs that they didnt have to resort to tallent searches and the faouse names thy created who start to act up when yhey try and get them to a sqweeze out a littel bit more \gel in that hair and rape the concept of rock onece more, they can make armies of lloosesrs who dotn even know to play an insutrment technicaly
gear them all in multiprongs, this one will sing about jr highschoo, this one will tell you that drugs are bad and that the best way to f the man is to by our (aka the cmpany's cd)
the same shit is trended since them and before in radio
now
its a rape of what it once was in the 60's
But then there is KEXP, stream it 128 kbs, specialty shows can be up to 1.4 megs a seccond, and ervery show is kept in an archive for up to 2 weeks after its air time, so If you wana rock out to the only radio station in America to play real punk rock on a regualar bassis, and its a nobrainer that they are the only ones who play it with music of all generaes from all over the world that have one thing in common, they are real music\
real, all good, music. And It's mindblowning how much of it is out there. Jazz groups and their fans were and are a smarter group of people, in that, the reccord lable could only milk it by sponsoring shows and sighning artists that would be able to make music at their discretion,
Which is why we all know of the jam sessions that are so famous in jazz music. Well its not a uniqueness, all good intrumentalists will enyoy them selves when they are making sweet music and can sleep at night. Even the punk bands that arent realy awrare of the exact number that a standrd guitar has, and if it mattered theyu would kcare
they still blow out energy for it all that you just dont get from an oddly politicaly correct assortment of tattoos on the the spiky bracelt wielding angel face wailding into a mike two facts and some bullthit, one that has no testicles, at least not attagched to him, and two that he dosent know all the lyrics to the song you memorised cause it ment so mnuch the way it dealt will elementry school romance.......... the bullthit is the song, and a third fact is forumulate, he shouldnt exit, his band shoudlent exist,,
the sound made whoyu;d have never been made, at that recorded... Chances are if the croud isnt packed into a cheapass place for walkin artists, or if your on the west coast... if 5 stage divers havent been carried out on stretchers and 1 in a body bag after trying to kill the the artist performing, and in that bounceers are hurling wood glued shaped things with flailing apendges at a rate of once every ten secconds, the ground is a layer of piss and vomit, the spriklers are spraying in the middle of the show for shits and giggles and more anger on the audiances part, course drawn to a fine point when the bass drum is laid to rest, and the lead just takes out his dick and starts pissing on the crowd, the generaly dances is a movment with a devleopment in accuracy to make sure you smack any one and everything around you, there for staringing a mild beating with a chain in the face, and solved with that sPiky bracelete in the retina (yes thats what its for, and other kinds of violence).....................................well, its not real punk rock, just a looser who cant pay his guitar who makes money hand over fist leaching the cash out of the youun and impressionable.
Anything else?:
PCgaming, the only virtual entertainment plat form that still has developers left who set out and from the ground up are intent on making a good game, rather than a product with flash so it sells and no substance other than to wow adorning masses of children who have no idea how pathetic in cmparison to realy games it realy is, (aka Halo, all of Bioware's titles in the recent years, Fable (anything from Lion's Head Studio's for that matter... Peter Molynux never was a genius, never has come out with anything revoulutionary, and ever since he read a rieveiw for Black and White, thinks his shit dosent stink, hell he's convinced its an aphrodisiac,after all, it is, well, all about him, and warped concept of reality so that all he touches turns to magical fairy goodness. Course that being he has not reservations on letting all the gaming news outlets of how he has discovered a game that simulates real life in every way possible and will change the face of gaming as we Know it, every angle of ita concept of his oriniality and genious and how once we play it our eyes will be truly open too new standards in gaing that will echo for cgenerations to come till the day he is taken away by the aliens
and while in actualyity they execute him, saving the world of games from a nother tradgedy.
Crysis will be a title of subtace as the devs are makin a game sleep at night too. HellGate London will be awsome, though it may never acutaly compleated, what state its at will truly be what the entire croud of RPG'ers, Zombie horror fans, fans of good writing and an envioroemnt that is both entertaining and remotly compitant. Arkane and Valve, one, easily some of the best work ever on not only the concept of first person action RPG's, aka character stats and mindless violenceis by far up close a brutal, and the minds behind a game that truely can be the only shooter that can be defined as a cinimatic shooter because of its talented writing staff THAT ACUALY HAVE A PART IN THE THE LAY OUT OF THE GAME, so that dear god, you actualy see the guy infront of you as a human being. Some of the greatest tallent, teamed up to make what can be only cocider4d a compellingly original expeariance of what in the f*** just tried to burn way at my eyballs and brain center that is suppposed to make a logical order of things -> The Crossing.
If you are a console game;er and want to play games for people over 5 years old, and dear god something that isnt kicked in the nuts by a (in every way) controller that foces players to hit combos like a mofo, rather than having a key for a function all in an easy to reach vicinity and just as many in a still easy, but mildly discoforting reach. Did I say there are over a hundred keys on a board
12 buttons on a kids toy....
A game by Troika, the pen and paper RPG guys who were the minds behind all the falout games, easily concidered by all to be the greatst set of interactive rpgs to exist, Vampire the Masqurade: Bloodlines ... in a nut shell to a consol gameer, well, nothing as deep or as compex, as well writen, tangented, and strangly mature in most every manor, well, safe to say its not for children, but name a game in, well ever (feirenhite actualy would be something ot mention, in this, but that came out 2 years plus afer.
You will never go back to the limited imature and poorly made and visualy uncpmelling hold backs of the gaming industry's veriosn of manucatured boy bands, american Idol shows, and of course the only band in existance to be hied in a union interview process and have a coriegraophed stage show (dosent exist yet to my knowledge, if it does I dont want to know any more), well, the gaming console, cheap parts for over priced softwaware, under the impression of the next genreation of technnology,just holdidn things about 2 years back for PC devleopers who werent able yo get away from being forced to lower the standsrds to work it.
