Topic: Most people call me Joe...
But I go by the name Chrome Skin Jesus. I run a little industrial rock/metal podcast called Razor Blade Dance Floor. Perhaps you have heard of it? I also do freelance writing for Outburn Magazine (over 800 published music reviews and dozens of interviews with bands such as Spineshank, Unearth, Type O Negative, Zoar, As I Lay Dying, etc.) and I just picked up a writing gig with Fabryka Industrial Rock webzine.
I'm originally from Maine, but I have spent most of my life in NJ. I lived in North Carolina from 1994 until just 2 years ago when my company that I work for (AT&T) whisked me away to Texas. So I am stuck in North Mexico, ahem, I mean Texas, for the short term until I can find a way to transfer back to the east coast.
I guess that is my whole story. If you want to learn more about me, you can read an interview that Brian Backlash did with me @ www.brianbacklash.com, or there is an 'about me' section on www.razorbladedancefloor.com
Or you can just e-mail me and ask me ridiculous questions and maybe I'll answer them. Or ask them right here. That might be more fun...
And by the way, the only hobby that I purport to indulge in is beer drinking. Especially microbrews. I love trying new beer. Someday I am going to brew my own, but I have been saying that for 10 years now, so I don't actually think that I will ever do it...
