many years ago i was born. then i grew up. as my friends know, i neverreally had a place to belong. during high school i discovered hardcore andpunk rock. the music was fun. (this story takes a bit....) then i met thisskinhead named jamie. we went to shows, and had a grand time. he taughtme about skins, and their origins. i learned alot. by my junior year, iwas considered a "skinhead." this went on for some time, as imoved away from hardcore and into ska and oi. then came the rise into thepeople who are a cut above. with my growing fondness for brit pop, i startedlistening to the Who, Small Faces, the Jam, booker T & the MGs, andother more "mod" musics. the culture was always inside me, butwithin the past two years, it has come more to the surface. now, i considermyself a mod. yes i have a parka. i like the way it looks, and it's warm.having always been a sharp dresser, the transition was gradual, and easy.to me mod is that forward looking mentality embodied in everything the modsdo. i'm always looking to coorespond with people, so feel free to e-mailme at aceface@antisocial.com!To see some pics from a recent night of debauchery, go here.
my music tastes are weird. everyonetells me so. i am a devotee of ska,soul, R&B, power pop, brit pop, psych, garage, techno, punk, Oi!, industrial,and jazz. there are other things that show up periodically, but those arethe primary musics i listen to. for a smattering of the sites i go to, checkhere.
