About Russ
Greetings, I'm Russ... thirtysomething, hairy, bass-playing computer geek.
Cynical, sarcastic and capable of swearing with incredible fluency, but I have a heart of gold, really.
Married to the awesome Gwen, and we are owned by four cats - Phee, Leia, Maiiah and Binx.
Metalhead, but with a weakness for jazz, opera, 80s pop and cheesy love songs. Especially big on overblown prog rock and musical excess!
I'm a bass player, currently between projects. But if you want to hear me, I played bass until very recently in the band 5th Man Down (myspace). I also used to play bass in the band Wallflower, years ago. I also have a little solo project on the go right now - give it a listen if you like (I'll be doing a Trig profile for this soon!)
I use, and love: Sei basses, Spector basses, G&L basses, Eden Nemesis amps, Line6 effects, and Apple computers.
I have quite a lot of piercings and tattoos, but I have an IAM page over on BME where I go into that stuff in more depth. I also have a proper blog elsewhere, but I'm not telling you where!
I'm on MSN, Yahoo, ICQ and AIM - if you want to chat, message me. I'm not on here often though, so please bear that in mind.
I don't suffer fools gladly, nor people who can't type properly. If you want me to reply to you or even take you seriously, capitalise and punctuate properly, and never replace "you" with "u" .Blog
Sullen.

I think to myself sometimes, "what was so wrong with London?"
London's a great place. It's overpriced, overcrowded, overburdened, sometimes unpleasant to be around, it has congestion charges and council tax... but it's alive. London has life unlike any other city I've known. It also has friends. ...

Welcome to Trig, hope you like it.
Peace
