Assessments

February 18, 2008
An editing robot, in the purest John Henry steel drivin' man vs. machine sense; owns a steel-plated, dustproof, top secret Pentagon laptop. Never sleeps. Is polite to nuns. Personally knows Larry Harvey.
Doesn't like to talk about it, but served three tours in Nam. "Yeah, I was in the Shit," he told me once. "Now get the fuck out of my face."

Knife fighting expert, I think. Dead aim from fifty feet, they say.

Yellow belt in ancient art of Zumba. Ham radio enthusiast. Master woodworker. Philatelist. Thespian. Avid 17th century film buff. Ombudsman.

Joab is all of these things.

Joab is someone I look forward to sharing the privilege of absurdity with, consistently if not constantly.

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, answer these questions. Pass it on to others. You can't use the band/artist I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Re-post as "my life according to (band name)"

Are you a male or female: Mikrophonie II

Describe yourself: Spiral (for a soloist with short-wave receiver and live electronics with sound director)

(More Facebook cross-posting)....

1. Monkees, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones LTD: Taught me at a wee age that albums could be more than just a group of songs and that going slightly off-center can produce best results (blip.fm/~3dc11).

2. Pink Floyd, Animals: Albums could adhere to a single, coherent narrative, with music & lyrics reinforcing each other. Also, spare the frippery: Not a wasted note or word here. Sum: Dark, menacing, & still enjoyable on the right night after ... read more
