curious thoughts and remembrances

I have an unparalleled taste in tunes 

I would recommend (to those who like to rock) that you listen to the album "Sideways Soul: In a Dancehall Style" performed by a combo of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Dub Narcotic Sound System. In particular, I enjoy "Love Ain't on the Run" and the album's title track.

I often sit at coffeeshops with my journal and write in its little "sound ideas" section; pages devoted to whatever ideas catch my aural fancy... from waveshaping and echo patterns to loose song structures and ways to combine genres. The next thing I want to do is combine drum'n'bass with Spencer-esque guitar stylings. I think rock, like porn, is being pushed further to its extremities by the day, and I'd like to contribute by making some 170-180 beat per minute, riff-driven, distorted rawk songs that people can scream "baby" and "yeah" to.
