- About Me
- I used to play bass, many moons ago. Can still rock guitar hero, but my love for music is as a fan.
I was one of the people who spent every minute of everyday in Broad Ripple growing up: scrounging through records at Second Time Around, skating at Roses and Lollipops, Drinking Coffee at Cafe Espresso, and smoking cigarettes at the trestle.
I picked up bass at about 17, was very mediocre at it, and ended up hocking it while living in Chicago to pay my bills. I miss that bass, but not as much as I miss hanging out on that trestle and smoking.
- What bands are you or have you been in?
- I was briefly in the Snary Hatches/Bum Crib, who many just embarrassed themselves onstage at Brand X.
- What city are you from?
- Indianapolis

seconding 'the oughts,' except it is properly spelled 'the aughts,' as the ou-spelling meads 'should have' while the au-spelling means 'nothing' or 'zero.'

Jeb, where is Lady Gaga on your list???
I don't have a list — yet — but I say we call this decade the oughts.
I love procrastinating with this kind of stuff. Here is a start, no order or top 10, but what I would place in the top 100 or so:
Boris, "Pink" and "Smile" and "Amplfier Worship"

SXSW in the Spring is a crazy, crazy time. Lots of good bands -- signed and unsigned bands from all over the world. I get a bit anxious being stuck in the middle of huge crowds, but it's worth it, depending on who's playing. ACL Fest (in late Sept/early Oct) tends to be more established bands (Foo Fighters, Drive-by Truckers, Vampire Weekend).
We usually make it to Indy once or twice a year. Our last trip this year was for my mom's birthday in June. We'll miss going there for xmas this year since the baby is due in early Dec and won't be ready for a plane ride.
So when's the baby due? Do you know if it's boy or girl yet?
I think Mike E is going to be a dad soon, too, isn't he?
I hope Irvington's going to be cool, I really like it down there. There's just that whole get a job, balance your money, don't screw up sort of complex. Which is pretty scary but oh well... I suppose I'll try and take it on anyway.
