I'm a professional designer and illustrator from the Bay Area and - like a lot of folks - I cannot work without music to lift my spirits and rev my creative engines. I hope you like what you hear on my station.

At 13, I heard a bass solo - by an unknown band - on on a beat-up cassette bootleg. It was my first introduction to Cliff Burton, and a lifelong Metallica fan was born.
The perfect metal band post-Sabbath but pre-Metallica. I was a rabid fan in Junior High. Let me paint a picture for you: March 14, 1985, they came to my hometown of San Diego on the Powerslave Tour and left a trail of dead and bloodied headbangers with our devil-horned fingers raised in awe. Greatest. Live. Show. Ev-ar.
Absolutely uncompromising after almost 25 years. Pure thrash sound. They make Marilyn Manson sound like Richard Simmons, only gayer. God Hates Us All is a masterpiece (and a totally underrated) work of the metal genre. This is what Satan has on his iPod.
Thank God for Internet Radio! I never would have discovered this unsigned band without Live365. Metal heads from Berlin that will blow you away!

Favorite Albums
Black Sabbath

We Sold Our Soul for Rock and Roll
The essential metal album by the blokes who invented the genre. Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and Bill STILL have not been bested by the vast ocean of posers that followed them. Told the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to 'F*** Off' when they were invited to be inductees - God Bless 'em.
Metallica
-
Master of Puppets
A brilliant band at the height of their abilities and youth. Perfected the metal genre. The last album with Cliff. RIP.
Queensryche

Operation Mindcrime
I didn't appreciate it when it came out in the mid-eighties. Thanks to internet radio, it's gained new life - and now I consider it a wonder, every song is powerful and smart. Way ahead of it's time.
Iron Maiden
-
Piece of Mind
I learned more about history, myths, and literature from Maiden then from any scholar. The Trooper. Revelations.The Flight of Icarus... Need I say more?
Suicidal Tendencies

Suicidal Tendencies
This album coincided exactly at the height my rebellious teen years. It was a glorious mixture of anti-authority indignation, feeling immortal, and girls, girls, girls! An amazing time to be sure! Sorry for being such a shit Mom & Dad.

All Systems Go !!! How did this guy get the soundtrack to my life? Great rotation, and some really obscure cuts that surprised me.

Stoner Rock Network This station introduced me to Ojo Rojo and Clutch, two bands I've never heard of, and never would have on traditional radio. Great station! When I told my Mom about it she said "Are there still stoners?," Classic.

METAL SHOP I grew up on KGB 101.5 in San Diego and they had this format on Saturday Nights. Takes me back to that time.

The Recovery Radio Station Personal stories of recovery along with free resources about recovery, mixed up with with great tracks. I just wish they would up the sound quality of their broadcast.

Undercover Radio Spins a great mix of originals and their respective covers - you'll be surprised by who covers who. If you like great tunes, they've got you covered.

As an illustrator myself, I have a passion for working with other illustrators and showcasing their work. Thumbtack Press is a community of brilliant artist that have their work available as affordable gallery-prints.
Digg
User submitted news stories. You can modify your Digg to your own personal tastes. I like the Tech and Art sections.
Craigslist
Perhaps you've heard of it? CL is the quintessential internet success-story. A left-leaning, user-generated, uncensored, and gloriously capitalistic juggernaut that was created by one guy in a apartment.
AA
Bill W.'s work continues, one day at a time.
SFist
Part of the family of Gothamist blogs - this one focuses completely on my adopted home of San Francisco and the Bay Area.
