About Me

edit

I live in back-road zombie country in the middle of Missouri. I hail from the San Francisco area of California originally, and spent my high school years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but Colorado will always be considered home. Those mountains are in my blood. I identify myself as an artist, though I haven't done much art in the past year or so. I have a very strong interest in collecting music, and have been known to obsess over a band here or there in the past. I decided to join the Wikipedia project after feeling frustration that certain bits of information I was looking for concerning some favorite bands was not in the wikiverse, and decided that I should go about adding that information myself rather than complaining that nobody else has!

My Interests

Music

edit

My taste in music has taken a long, twisting road since childhood, pulled a few u-turns, and cruised through some strange country. One of the stranger bits was industrial rock music, especially that of a few guys from New York who got into industrial metal in the late 80s and early 90s and produced some fantastic but little known albums. I obsessed about this stuff for a while, and know more about those albums and bands than I do about almost anything else. Hence my first Wikipedia projects were to update, clean up, and expand the pages for: Argyle Park, Circle of Dust, and LVL. A couple of them still do music, notably Klayton with his project Celldweller.
