Chad Dryden's Interests
|
| General | Music, writing, music writing, artfully crafted cinema, highbrow literature, seasonal beard cultivation, vinyl records, the outdoors, yo-yo exercising, non-tourist traveling, adventure, napping, adventure napping, nostalgia trips, red wine, palindromes, solitude when I'm sick of people, people when I'm sick of solitude. | | Music | Anything that moves me cerebrally and physically, up to and including funk, folk, bluegrass, Afrobeat, hip-hop, trip-hop, vintage R&B/soul, jazz (no big band, new age or George Benson after he traded Wes Montgomery's throne for pop hits), jam, indie rock, classic rock, punk, post-punk, new wave, electronic, '60s schmalz-pop, non-CMT country, straight up no-need-for-hyphens rock 'n' roll and Frank Zappa, whatever he is. | | Movies | Burton, Kubrick, Gondry, Linklater, Miyazaki, Tarantino, Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Spike Jonze, Michael Moore, the Coen brothers and other filmmakers who make movies mostly in the interest of art. I am not, however, above the occasional dumb movie, especially if it stars Bill Murray. I geek out to Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and documentaries. My brother-in-law Lance deserves an award for making our wedding video not look like it was shot by someone who has a kiosk at the mall. | | Television | Thanks to the DVD, I discriminately consume without subjecting myself to the annoyance of commercials and the proliferation of crap, though the Cro-Magnon in me can't pry himself away from the NFL every fall. I'm mostly content watching DVDs of The Simpsons, Family Guy, That '70s Show, The Office, Weeds, Robot Chicken and Freaks and Geeks. And yes, I'm a snob. | | Books | I usually read about music, but my literary favorites include Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski, Walt Whitman, Ernest Hemingway (A Farewell to Arms sucks, however), J,D. Salinger, Kurt Vonnegut, George Orwell, F. Scott Fitzgerald, E.E. Cummings, Tom Wolfe and Emily Dickinson. I have a lot of unread stuff on the shelf that makes me look smarter than I really am. | | Heroes | Let's just say that if I had a book, it would be dedicated to my parents. |

About me:
Once upon a time I was a newspaper reporter. Then I got laid off and became a Laid Off Loser. Then I started Bandwagon PR, a public relations and marketing firm specializing in music, arts and entertainment, restaurant and urban lifestyle promotions. Then my wife got laid off and it morphed into Bandwagon PR and Photography. I am a survivor with soft desk hands.

Who I'd like to meet:
Me as an old man, ala 2001: A Space Odyssey.
