Today's Music That Will Make You Dance Like You've Got Ass In Your Pants is Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go Team. This is a really fun album! I would see this band in concert without a question, and probably have a good time too. It's almost all instrumental, sort of like if the theme from "Hawaii Five-O" came to life and started making danceable horn-driven music. I was smitten from the first track ("Panther Dash"), which is probably still my favorite, even if the second track ("Ladyflash") has a better title. Anyhow, the music is very energetic and happy without being irritating - this is what Architecture in Helsinki should have become. It's a little immature, not really as emotionally deep as, say, Explosions in the Sky, but some things are to be appreciated for what they are and not what they're supposed to be. I could see myself listening to this stuff at the gym, due to its mood and intensity. It might be good party music also, if you want people to dance at your party.

- Bones of an Idol
- Professionally, I work in information technology for a school. I do a little of everything: support, training, database, website, purchasing, strategy. My job appeals to my love of challenges, solving problems, and helping people.
Outside of work, I enjoy exercise (I used to practice capoeira, but largely run and lift weights now), writing short fiction, and playing the guitar. I am a largely self-taught guitarist and generally do not rock very hard.
I am currently enrolled in the MBA program at Drake University. Focusing on my coursework has curtailed my 'hobbies' somewhat, but I plan to graduate in Fall of 2013.
I am partial to travel, cats, black licorice and peanut butter.
