Ugh, and so much fucking much more.

Power Pop, Punk Rock, Soul, Doo Wop
Favorite Movies My Cousin Vinny. Kidding. Not really. Yes really. You and I will never know the truth on this.
I highly enjoy documentaries. Music especially. I loved We Jam Econo, if it ain't STIFF RECORDS, Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback, etc.
Other Hobbies/Interests Law and order SVU, trying my best not to be "rude" or "blunt" in the Midwest- which is impossible because that's just ingrained in me from birth. Reading, again- mostly books about bands and musicians.
