Local Bands and Musicians We've Played With
- Arno Hachaduryan
- Arno has spent the last few years mastering the art of music engineering and production on the west coast, and this is his virtual online resume for all his skills and accomplishments.
- Jason Kluss
- Yup. Jay has a website. I still update it and everything, but it is focused more on Jay's material than anything else.
- The Lazy Cocoon
- Arno developed this barinchild of his a few years ago, sharing music from all genres with everyone, building up his massive index of contacts and doing his part to share great music with everyone.
Favorite Bands and Musicians
- Local H
- Pack Up the Cats is still my favorite record of all time, but Scott Lucas' newer stuff hasn't been as good, and he keeps reminding me of it at his shows, so I kinda stopped going.
- "Weird Al" Yankovic
- My hero, Weird Al. This is the webpage hosted by
the drummer of his band. You can't get any better than this.
- Foo Fighters
- Live acoustic Foo Fighters rock, and Wasting Light is probably the best album they have ever made.
- Beck
- There is no possible way to explain Beck in one
sentence. He is one of the greatest musicians at doing just about everything.
- Nirvana
- Nirvana does not need a summary. This band
brought me to where I am today.
- Soundgarden
- Dubbed the "grand-daddies of grunge" Soundgarden is (was) one
of the worlds' most original sounding bands ever to grace the rock n'
roll stage. Apparently they are getting back together this year for a tour... maybe an album??
- Primus
- I'm a bass player, and I have the greatest
respect for Les Claypool.
- Eels
- Who? The Eels. Well, it is mostly one guy who
kinda meshes this weird music together. Kinda trippy stuff that closely
resembles Beck, more or less. Really good albums, but you have to be
into that sleeper-rock kinda attitude to appreciate it. Can't wait for the new stuff in August.
- Ben Folds
- I love Ben Folds, and almost everything he does. His live stuff is some of the best, and his piano playing with knock you out.
- System of a Down
- I love the original sound of this quirk-metal band and think the last two records are spectacular. I love a band with a good solid dedication to world politics, even if I don't always agree with them. Usually I don't.
Other Sites to Check Out
- Harry
Potter
- Yes, I read the whole series. MAYBE I'll watch the movies someday.
- Robert Ludlum
- Excellent author when it comes to thriller action novels. With 21 novels under his belt spanning 3 decades, all NYT best sellers, he is worth checking out. This is the guy who created the Bourne trilogy.
- Chuck Palahniuk
- The author of Fight Club, he
also has written great masterpieces such as Survivor, Choke, and most
recently Rant.
- Douglas Adams
- Some of the most original science fiction writing you'll ever read coupled with ridiculous British humor that keeps you entertained. The man who penned the increasingly inaccuratly titled "Hitchhiker's Trilogy" as well as the Dirk Gently novels is one of my favorite authors of all time.
- Firefly - Serenity
- I loved this show, and was excited to hear about the movie. Caught it on the midnight release and it rocked! The comics that have followed are nice, but I will always mourn the series.
