I might as well join in the fray…
Semi-lurker here…been reading for quite a while, do occasinally post bits and pieces…
Physical: 5 foot eleven, maybe close to six. 140 pounds (yep, skinny). Long hair, below shoulder length, naturally red, dyed black in may, so now it’s half and half. Shaved around the sides and back, with a goatee, and often scruffy face due to sheer laziness. Usually dress primarily in black, but have been doing that my entire life, even before i knew it made me ‘cool’. Anyway…
Otherwise: Currently a resident of Anchorage, Alaska, soon (March/April) to be moving to Seattle…more just to get out of here than for any great love of Seattle. Obligatory non-poser plug, been listening to reznor’s rantings since just after phm came out, even before hlah showed up on emptyvee. Goodie, now that that’s out of the way…semi-collector, not obsessive to having every piece of print about trent, but do have damn near every audio bit I can find…all halos, the hlah import w/opal, purest feeling, demos&remixes, and two live boots that were actually decent quality (solid gold hell and familiar sting). Yippee.
Musically, into damn near anything…collection ranges from Abba to nin to gregorian chant (also picked up before was trendy) to meatloaf to ministry…and so on. Mostly into nin and similar stuffs…the wax trax black box has to be one of the best collections of tunes I’ve picked up in a long time. Anyway, good (about 300) collection of cd’s, dj for a local teen-club for their one alternative night…mostly just having fun playing whatever the fuck I want, really loud, for six hours at a time, and getting paid for it. Not a bad deal.
Anyway, that’s it…
