call me MOUSEBLOOD
Okay, here we go.....
1. What do you do?
I work for a big corporation. I sit in my office and type on a computer all day. Occationally I wander the halls. After hours I sing and play guitar in a band. The type and or genre is a bit fuzzy and not easy to classify.
2. Where are you from?
I'm from a little farming community, Fallon, Nevada. I currently live in Phoenix.
3. Who is your favorite author?
Sorry to say I really don't read that much. At least not enough to have a favorite author.
4. What are your favorite films?
So many. A few that come to mind that I never pass up watching when they come on.... PULP FICTION, O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU, GRANDMA'S BOY, REPO MAN, THAT THING YOU DO, 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE, ALIENS....
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
I'll let the bride pick it out. But it should be something peppy, something snappy.
6. At your funeral?
Some nice churchy organ music I would suppose. Maybe In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
Peacefully in my sleep.
8. What kind of casket would you want?
Always been partial to cherry wood. With dark antique brass handles.
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
Black t-shirt, blue jeans, black vans, and if it's cold a black leather jacket.
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
Having everthing taken care of for me.
11. What's your favorite band?
WIRE or maybe JOY DIVISION
12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major?
A bachelors in accounting and one in finance. A masters in business administration with an emphasis in quantitative analysis.
13. Why did you join?
Came across the site a while ago whilst googling myself. Finally decided to join.
14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender?
I'm a man.

I've noticed that most people seem to be very supportive of other people's musical projects --- and I've noticed that there are a lot of musicians on the board. As soon as I get a couple new things I've been working on finished I'll post a link and let everyone hack away. I'm not that thin skinned, I've done some things in the past that I've been ripped to shreads for, I don't mind critics.

Nice educational background. I'm going for a BA in International Business and an MBA with an emphasis on International Relations.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida? And spelled correctly? Boss!
I went to visit my dad in the 60's when he was working his 2nd job, a night job at a 7-11, across from the Anaheim Convention Center. There were tons of people and traffic all over, and long haired, bell bottomed kids walking around, and he yelled at my mom and I saying "get out of here, and go home! The area is full of hippies!"
Iron Butterfly was performing that night.
So how old are you?
Welcome.

I'm old, very old. The first time I was in a band was around 1977, I was a young teen, but still that was 30 years ago. I'll be 47 in February.
People always remember the "happy loopy hippy" stuff IRON BUTTERFLY did; but they also did some really dark acid rock that was really cool.

Psh, no worries about age. You're younger than half the goth DJs in Britain!

Okay this is a little pet peeve of mine: Don't make multiple posts like that, just make one big post
Other than that you seem like a lovely person. Welcome to the boards

Well you are due to a proper introduction. Since you are older than me I will not use my normal introduction. I am SOD, I breathe punk, mainly UK82 and 80's American Hardcore Punk. I must bow to you sir, welcome indeed. I hope I'm still the resident punk after all this blows over........

I played in quite a few punk bands between 1978 and 1986, but I have to confess that I occasionally strayed into other genres. In particular, goth, deathrock and indie pop.

You had me at cherry-wood coffin. Plus Humane approves of you AND you spelled In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida correctly. I like you. Do post more.
