I love music. Playing or listening. I scuba dive, sail, draw, read, and I work as a graphic artist.

I'm looking for someone to hang out with at first. See where it goes. I'm not set on rushing into anything. I like to catch live music when I can, go out for dinner, or just to grab a beer. But I'm happy at home watching a movie or a Cardinals game too.

John Cusack's character in High Fidelity says, "What really matters is what you like, not what you are like... Books, records, films... these things matter." I'm not sure if that's entirely true or not, but favorites lists at least give us something to talk about, right? So here are some (very incomplete) favorites lists. If yours match at all, chances are we'll get along just fine.

Music: Wilco, Neil Young (with and without Crazy Horse), The Beatles, Elliott Smith, Bon Iver, The Faces, Tom Petty, Steve Earle, Frank Black, Amos Lee, The National, Kings of Leon, The Swell Season, Badly Drawn Boy, Calexico, The Jayhawks, The Who, Son Volt, Ryan Adams, Evan Dando/Lemonheads, The Replacements, The Raconteurs, Big Star...

Movies: Three Amigos, The Princess Bride, Young Frankenstein, Raising Arizona, The Jerk, Rushmore, Office Space, Shaun of the Dead, Super Troopers, High Fidelity, Once... Wes Anderson movies, just about anything with Bill Murray, old Steve Martin, and I love old Hitchcock movies.

Books: Earth Abides, Ishmael, Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology, Into the Wild, A Walk in the Woods, Sea Change, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance...

Dinner, maybe a drink or two. First Friday Art Walk, or a Cardinals game in the summer. Anything is good as long as we can talk and see if we get along.
