We are guitar players from all over the world,
so we should all be brothers.
Anyway thats the way i belive plus think .

We, I mean "I" am a body that is controlled by both an elf and a goblin, who always fight with each other; the elf keeps doing good things, the goblin bad, but really the elf often does bad things, and the goblin good things too. They both run around causing mischief, while running a drug cartel from a cave under a bridge. So, to answer your question... They leave this body to sleep in Melbourne, Australia, while they get up to interplanetary highjinx, so I guess that is where "I" live.

I was born in Florida, however I grew up (and spent most pof my life up in Massachusettes, in a small town called reat Barrington. (I'll fall on the floor if any of you guys are familiar with this town, most people I know, (even those who have been to MA have never heard of Great Barrington.) Recently I moved back to Florida, (for family reasons) and because of certain opportunities that I have chosen to take advantage of. I really enjoyed the change of seasons up North, and that's something I miss.

I think the weather down here is starting to fry my brains, ::eek:, but I'll survive.

Now I reside in Billerica, MA, when I'm with my family (about a half an hour from Boston) and Cambridge, MA (across the river from Boston) when I'm staying with my girfriend.

Hey Zepplin, that's pretty cool you're from Israel... my girlfriend's family is from Bershava (spelled right?). It's funny, most of my Jewish friends who've been there say that everyone in Israel is way into techno, but I've met more who are into and/or play rock than techno, at least on the net. We were gonna move to Israel until this last round of fighting came up.

Yeah, i've found that too. Everyone from /in isreal i've talked are either into Radiohead (especailly at the time when Kid A had just been anounced :)) or The Chilli Peppers or Oasis... then again i tend to talk to poeple who are into the more rock/ (intelligent) alternative ("intelligent" alternative is bands like One Day, Sigor Ros etc as opposed Static X type alternative).

it's spelled beer-sheva, it is a town in the south israel, i got there family as well
anyway most of the people around here like techno , house and hip hop. there are also many people who like radiohead just like educatedfilm said, and few people like the clasic rock, like me.
