Greetings, I'm Russ... thirtysomething, hairy, bass-playing computer geek.
Cynical, sarcastic and capable of swearing with incredible fluency, but I have a heart of gold, really.
Married to the awesome Gwen, and we are owned by four cats - Phee, Leia, Maiiah and Binx.
Metalhead, but with a weakness for jazz, opera, 80s pop and cheesy love songs. Especially big on overblown prog rock and musical excess!
I'm a bass player, currently between projects. But if you want to hear me, I played bass until very recently in the band 5th Man Down (myspace). I also used to play bass in the band Wallflower, years ago. I also have a little solo project on the go right now - give it a listen if you like.
I use, and love: Sei basses, Spector basses, G&L basses, Eden Nemesis amps, Line6 effects, and Apple computers.
I have quite a lot of piercings and tattoos, but I have an IAM page over on BME where I go into that stuff in more depth. I also have a proper blog elsewhere, but I'm not telling you where!
I'm on MSN, Yahoo, ICQ and AIM - if you want to chat, message me. I'm not on here often though, so please bear that in mind.
I don't suffer fools gladly, nor people who can't type properly. If you want me to reply to you or even take you seriously, capitalise and punctuate properly, and never replace "you" with "u" .
All the Star Wars films, All of Kevin Smith's films, the Matrix trilogy, Braindead, Meet The Feebles, Bad Taste, The Shawshank Redemption, Shaun Of The Dead and many, many more.
Tool, Jane's Addiction, Queensryche, Dream Theater, Meshuggah, Devin Townsend, Miles Davis, Jamiroquai, Sikth, Trivium, Wilfsheim, Rammstein, The Killers, 5th Man Down, Lostprophets, The Phantom Of The Opera soundtrack, Massive Attack, the list goes on...
CSI, Top Gear, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, Little Britain, Blackadder, Bottom, Coupling, Eastenders, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek (in all its various incarnations)
Lots of techie books, plus anything by Iain Banks, Ben Elton, Neal Stephenson and (ahem) Jeremy Clarkson.
Coding, designing, bass playing, composing, and movie watching!
