Talk to me…
10 things you need to know about Boomer
1. What is your favorite album?
Picking a favorite album is like picking a favorite kid. There are SO many that I love and couldn’t live without. If pressed I could at best come up with a Top 5: (in NO order)
-Queens of the Stone Age “Rated R”
-Pixies “Doolittle”
-Dropkick Murphy’s “Live on Lansdowne”
-deftones “White Pony”
-Ray LaMontagne “Til The Sun Turns Black”
2. Where are you from?
I am a true Masshole, born and raised in W. Mass! (And I’m an obsessive Sox, Pats, Bruins, and Celtics fan!)
3. Best concert you’ve ever seen?
Too many to pick just one (kinda like question 1). Prince was AMAZING, have seen deftones shows that were transcendent, QotSA (during the “Songs For The Deaf” tour), and the Foo’s never EVER put on a bad show!
4. Favorite website(s) to surf?
Gonna pimp my friends here.
-www.theworldwidemediaconspiracy.com –Run by my friend Jonathan Kesselman who wrote and directed “The Hebrew Hammer”
-www.bleacherreport.com–My old friend Ben Shapiro is a helluva sports writer!
- www.grantland.com –Great sports and pop-culture site!
-www.imdb.com –Can’t say how many hours I’ve spent on that site.
5. Favorite movie?
Wayyyy too many to choose. I took a year of film classes so my tastes run all over. Some of my favorite directors are: Jim Jarmusch, Scorsese, The Cohens, Kevin Smith, Chris Guest’s stuff, the Broken Lizard guys, Rob Zombie, Chris Nolan, Jonathan Kesselman, David Mamet, and so on… (And, when I’m feeling homesick I’ll watch stuff like Boondock Saints, The Town, The Departed, etc.)
6. What would you be doing if you weren’t on the radio?
In my dreams, I’d be a Trophy Husband. In reality, I’d love to go back to teaching tennis.
7. What do you do for down time? Read. Play Tennis. Go to the Movies. Golf. Watch as much sports as is humanly possible. Eat babies… (KIDDING!)
8. If your iPod was broken and repeated the same 5 songs over and over, which 5 would you hope would be repeated?
-Theme to “Welcome Back Kotter”
-”Heroin” by Velvet Underground
-”When Girls Telephone Boys” by deftones
-”UMass” by The Pixies
-”Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis” by Tom Waits
