this is the part where all the 'elitists' (notice my use of quotes)
call me lame and pretentious and sickeningly commerical and... whatthefuckever.
i don't feel like working on this page yet,
but just to give you a rough outline,
here's a random bunch of the bands/artists/etc i dig:

oh, and if you disagree with my selections, i don't much care.
my tastes are pretty much all over the place and
i take a lot of heat for this stuff, but i'm used to it.
so fire away, bitches. ecclectic is good.

come on, jackie chan...

there are many others, like basically anything from the big 80s,
including all those hair bands and the (earlier on) new wave bands.
i like to do the safety dance.

i also have a decent collection of lounge music, and i'm totally down with disco. can you say abba ?

i'm definitely a whore to lookout!, epitaph, matador, kill rock stars, parasol,
fat wrecks, teenbeat, and lots of other labels that
many people would file under the category "gay-ass." (i would call them "fun." yay.)
okay, maybe not a whore. in fact, i may not actually own any records on some of those labels.
maybe i'm just a big liar. maybe you'll never know.
