About Me:
I am a musician and recording studio owner from Seattle Washington.
Website:

Favorite Music:
Mostly older stuff, but I also like film soundtrack stuff, acoustic blues, old country, banging on pots & pans, jangle-y 12 strings, howling, screetching and growling stuff too. Old R&B, Rock & Roll and anything with a Hammond Organ in it. The list goes on.
Favorite Movies:
David Lynch's "Eraserhead" and Richard Elfman's "The Forbidden Zone" along with too many AIP films to list here. Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilliogy" tops my list along with many Stanley Kubrick films and all the (original) Planet of the Apes series too. Bad films are Great! I also do soundtrack work as well.
Favorite GaragePunk Podcast(s):

The Old Days of Seattle Indi Radio (pre Paul Allen!) KCMU 90.3 FM!

A long time before Grunge and the Dot Com Boom/Bust made Seattle what it is today (YUCK!!) There was KCMU 90.5 (later 90.3) FM. It was a true community radio station (owned by the UW) It got me through Highschool and College. Someone sent me this archive they posted here; http://kcmu.jc-coleman.com/ Sadly other folks had their (hidden) agendas and folks kinda took what they had for granted. I was a "Johnny come lately" to this environment, but I learned a lot and met a lot of interesting folks… Continue

Keep rockin Erik. Having your own studio does ease the creative process, and I should know, I get to record at my family's studio for free. However,I do end up doing alot of yardwork....

I am gonna miss BeccaBear here at the Hideout! (she excused herself from things) I hope things will simplify themselves here soon so we don't loose other long term folks due to stuff like that.

I also heard the GP Forum is not doing PMs anymore. I cleared my box out a month ago,but still it is sad to know that a major avenue of communications has been closed.

Yeah JP, I understand, but since like Dave Lister of Red Dwarf says, " I only got two working taste buds left and one of them works on spicy hot foods."

While down in Portland Oregon the last few days I had some good Thai food in the Hawthorne section of town.

No habeñeros were injured!

I must admit that while I dig spicy, I don't dig "melt my braina nd watch it seep through my nasal cavities" spicy. I like heat with flavor. I think you'd like my British friends who when we get together for Indian food, order Vindaloo. The waiter always asks "From 1 to 10 spiciness which would you prefer?" They always answer 10 and I always get to watch them eat while sweating profusely, their faces beet red from the heat. I'm always amazed. Have a happy Thanksgiving and don't shove too many habeneros up the poor bird's wazoo!
