Favorite Bands: 
Day to day, I'm all over the place... but I can always listen to the classics: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, & VU in rock.  Al Green, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding in soul. I also have an unhealthy infatuation with Christmas music.

I'm a classic couch potato, although playing with my two-year old gets me moving.

 

Play in a band? Run a record label?:
Nope; not cool enough. I do own an acoustic guitar that's great at collecting dust, but I can't be bothered to learn how to play it.
