Random things you want us to know about you:

I live in Canada's capital. I actually never thought of collecting vinyl for the longest time, but I just happened to come upon Matthew Good's "Avalanche" record, and off I went. I don't have very many vinyl yet, but I'm starting by trying to track down my favourite albums.

I'm not too big on coloured vinyl or first pressings, but my interest may grow in the future. Right now I'm looking for the albums that remind me of growing up; as well as the ones that helped to shape the person that I am today.

Just joined new band no records yet. Used to play in the semi-succesful Australian band Ethica.

Random things you want us to know about you:

I like drinking whiskey, although I do not drink during the week, I do drink copious amounts on the weekend. I am thin and have huge eyes, so I look like some form of insect, which I like. I am in a love-hate relationship with my neighbors as I practice vocals a lot during the day, but keep super quiet during the night. Sometimes they come over and check no one is being murdered, and I invite them in for tea. I like tea. I like animals but I am not vegan or vegetarian, nor will I ever be. I used to smoke way too much cannibas, so sometimes I have to think about things for far too long. I do not smoke anymore. I am very much in love with a young lady named Rhiannon, she hates my guts, won't talk to me and moved two states away. I write her every day. I have Graves disease and Hyperthyroidism. I am Australian but I was born in Liverpool, England.

Random things you want us to know about you:

I'm a civil engineer. I love whiskey and hate gin. I swear a lot. I think sandwiches are the greatest food of all time. I have a DVD collection that once included well over 800 films (the result of working in video stores during my college years), but is now less than 500. I've lived in western Washington my whole life, grew up near Olympia, moved to Seattle to attend UW and never left.

Random things you want us to know about you:

In 7th grade, my math/science teacher brought in his electric guitar and would jam during lunch recess. I went into his class with some friends to work on our science projects and he was just there jammin' to AC/DC. That moment, I knew I wanted to play guitar. I asked him to teach me and 7 years later, playing the guitar has since then been a strong passion of mines.
