JayBab

Canadian/Acadian living on the East Coast of Canada, within a tri-community area I like to call planet Monkton (sic). I work full-time for a courier company mainly doing internal communications (to put it simple) and part-time in a music store (my fun job!). If I'm not working a minimum of 6 days a week, I ain't happy. I live with 2 cats, both silly-Siamese, who don't work, or even bother to look for work and don't really contribute to the household income. I graduate from l'Univeristé de Moncton with a Bachelors in Arts & English. I speak 2.5 languages, that being English, French and a French-Acadian dialect.

U2, Beatles, Radiohead, Tom Waits, Belle & Sebastian, Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Joseph Arthur, P.J.

Kurt Vonnegut, Tolkkien, Christopher Moore, J.K. Rowling, Bukowski, Dawkins, Canadian lit. I'm into science-geek stuff too, like linguistics, evolution, genetics & Kurzweil futurism.

(I'd rather be reading.) But when I do watch tv, it's the Simpsons, the Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart, the Discovery channel (a science-based channel in Canada) and the news.

(I'd rather be watching a live music act) I get so turned-off on movies these days, I mostly watch live music acts on DVD at home. But those movies that I do enjoy; Star Wars (ALL of them, I still want to be a Jedi when I grow-up), Lord of the Rings, Reservoir Dogs, 2001 A Space Odessy, Woody Allen flix, U2 Rattle & Hum, the Last Waltz.

I stumbled upon this site after coming-up with the idea of creating a CD swap-group on Facebook. But Facebook is only really good for playing chess, not swapping. I like what everyone has done with this place here. I'm in this for music swapping, CD format. I do not favor MP3's. Every mix CD I put together comes from my personal collection of about 1000 cd's.
