Hi, I'm Jeremy and I'm a total media junkie (music, movies, art, technology, blogs). I work in the music industry. I've also been a DJ for almost a decade. I am not a culture snob, except about things that suck and think they don't. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

I live in Astoria and would love some new friends in the area. I think people need to be better to each other, by and large.

I am a reader of books and blogs, inhale new music (1500 CDs and more, from all different genres) and new ideas. Some of my favorite things are: anything Jim Henson-related, anything Neil Finn-related, anything Alton Brown-related. I never use a short word when a long one will suffice. Not "do," "suffice."

My day job is in the digital area of the music industry, trying to make what we do as a major label a little less evil, a little more interesting and transparent, and a little less prone to mockery.

I collect quotes (if you go on my website you'll see a random one from my collection), because there are few things better than a clever turn-of-phrase. The things that are better, however....

...and always remember: when in doubt, throw penguins.

In anyone: I'm looking to fill my life with warm, open, kind and curious folk with an interest in rapid-fire dialogue filled with references from across the cultural spectrum.

In a "let's be friends and maybe more" kind of way: Someone who vibes like Empire Records and kisses like Sigur Ros. Also, I'm powerless over girls in black tanktops and Lisa Loeb glasses. Seriously, it is my Kryptonite.

I'm on all the regular chat clients as SoftLord, so feel free to drop me a line and interrupt my work day...no, really!

Fake is stupid. Flawed and real is infinitely more interesting.

Oh also, any of the gorgeous women who ride the N/W train into the city in the morning should send me a note right now so I can express my appreciation for making the commute infinitely more bearable.
