Hello, I'm Mike, aka Drumclem. My name, in case anyone is curious, comes from the drummer Clem Burke from the band Blondie-he is my favorite drummer. My email address is drumclem@yahoo.com.

One of my main interests is music of all sorts. I have about 500 CDs at the moment and like many different music styles. A few of my favorite bands and singers are Blondie, The Who, The B-52's, Letters To Cleo, Mary Lou Lord, Aimee Mann, Jennifer Trynin, Frente, The Pretenders, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Sam Phillips, Linda Perry, Michael Penn, Lagwagon, No Doubt, Cibo Matto, John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Frank Zappa, among many, many others.

Here on this page I want to just tell a little bit about a few of the bands that I like. Some of these bands aren't well known but are all well talented.
