Vinyl collector of all Byrds and Byrds related platters (Burrito Brothers; solo works, Dillard & Clark, Manassas, etc.) but a love of heaviness strong beginning with the late 1960s British Blues wave - Cream, Free and Led Zepp ... a soft spot for righteous angst in RATM but drone / stoner metal the likes of Red Fang, Earth, Sleep, YOB, Iron Monkey, High on Fire, Sunn O; Stoned Jesus; Bongripper.
