Hi -I'm Anthony, but if I had another name, I'd still smell really sweet! -uhg!-- not much of an introduction--
Grew up in mid-town Manhatten, N.Y.
I have such a polarized taste in music - I love sonic Youth, Broken Social Scene. Dust Devils, Bastro, Phantom Tollbooth, Live Skull, But I also Have a HUGE Frank Zappa collection, spent a small fortune on over-priced bootlegs, but this is where my friends get annoyed at me is my over the top love of really dastardly brutal death metal. I must have divergent personalities maybe.
I can get off on listening to Durutti Column & Cocteau Twins for several hours, or days, then go on a brutal death kick, makes it hard for me to write songs - All the whole songs I've written - my "originals" are like a cross between angry death and Bastro. I've played guitar since I was 14 -so---25 yrs.! Yes I'm prob. a little older than a few of the others here. Now when I pick up the guitar I don't know where to go - it's frustrating!!
I now live in San Bernardino, Ca. about 60 mi. east of L.A. but I really miss the east coast. I'll go back when I have the $$. Maybe by then I'll know what kind of music I want to write.
I'm back in school - I got a degree in electronics, but then realized I didn'twant to do that for the rest of my life, and IDO want to work with mentally disadvantaged children, so I'm going for a specialized teaching credential at CSUSB.
