DOLLS AND DAGGERS! PRESENTING ROCK'S ODDEST ODDITY.VINCENT TODD!
"Procrastinate Now!"- I love that saying!
I used to take this thing seriously, but lately I've had a revelation: I've always been too serious about what I do and tried to be "professional", but. it's just not me. I haven't been enjoying this ride we call "life". That's over!
So, if you're reading this, obviously, you want to know about me. I'm not gonna bullshit you with some hyped-up bio. You know, like on all these band websites: "Vincent Todd is reaching for his dreams, playing shows with the likes of Capt. Cheeseburger and Aero Force 2 "the number 1 Aerosmith tribute band in Boise".
I play music. I like the music I make. Not always, but I'm proud of my songs.
I draw inane comics involving a duck who's a doctor and a mutated Pac-Man.
I act. Even when there's not a camera on me.
I write.
I cook. I love cooking! Especially desserts for people! I made my Mom a rootbeer float cake for her birthday.
I produce. I could produce you if you fancy.
I make collages.
I love painting with water colours.
I speak with a British accent for some reason, even though I've never been to England. This is more so when I drink.
I will always give my art away to anyone who asks for it. Be it my music, movies, paintings, writings, etc. If you like it, then I want you to have it to enjoy it! You shouldn't have to pay for it. That's what coming to my live shows is about.
Speaking of which, I'm taking a break from live shows until the end of the year. I will start fresh next year, with some amazing ideas my friends and I are putting together.
I love to hear from everyone! If you want to post a comment about your band here, feel free, but atleast have the decency to leave me a comment, be it on my music, pics, or whatever, first!
I respond to everyone. If you want me to check out your page or music or what have you, I will be more than happy to! But, I'm not a mind reader, so please ask me!
My favorite place EVER is Louisville.
I have tattoos. At the time of writing this, I have 5. Maybe more. I can only count by the number of fingers I have on my hand. HOLY SHIT I HAVE ANOTHER HAND! I may have alot more stuff than I thought!
I read. Alot. My favorite author is a toss up between Hunter S. Thompson and Oscar Wilde.
I love alot of bands, and find new ones everyday. Off the top of my head some favs are: Placebo, New York Dolls, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, David Bowie, Imogen Heap, KISS, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Goldfrapp, Blondie, Muse, Andrew W.K., Daft Punk, Mozart, pretty much anyone who I am friends with on Myspace. Signed or unsigned.
I love movies. My favorite is "Casablanca". And, I love Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Val Kilmer (FUCK YOU! ICE MAN IS AWESOME!), Johnny Depp (doesn't everyone love him though?), Eddie Izzard (and his stand-up is brilliant!), Will Ferrel, Clint Eastwood, Tim Curry, and many many more.
I love cartoons! The Simpsons, Family Guy, Invader Zim (LUV GIR!), Transformers, Thundercats, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Drinky Crow, etc.
"Oliver and Company" is the greatest Disney movie. EVER!
I think the greatest song ever written is and always will be "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles. Well, that or "The Impression That I Get" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. They were kick ass!
I dress up. For no reason. It's not uncommon to see me in a feather boa, a fedora, with lip gloss, bright red pants and a t-shirt that says "I fucked a burrito and all I got was this lousy shirt" one day. and the next to see me in a Jets jersey, or a suit and tie.
I have a 2002 Jaguar named Ms. Kitty Jagstar. We have a. thing. it's kinda complicated.
I wear make-up. Deal with it.
I'm not gay. People mistake me for being gay, because I wear eyeliner, listen to dance music, love fashion, and have a crush on Brian Molko. wait. was that last one out loud? Who cares? No one reads this anyway.
I try to be honest as much as the situation calls for it. Take that however you want.
I used to be all about music. I've come to realize this has held me back from enjoying my life. Now I'm about all aspects of life and art.
Art, to me, is more than painting and drawing. It's expressing one's self in any means they believe necessary. There is no such thing as bad art. Not if you're proud of what you have created or if someone finds beauty and/ or meaning in it.
Critics are useless. I could care less about what some asshole who went to college to learn about journalism thinks is acceptable. If people, even one person appreciates what you're doing, that's who matters. If you're doing it for people that is. If you're doing it for yourself, then who cares? If you love what you do, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Unless you kill babies, rape animals, or any number of violently obscene things. Then. yeah, let a therapist tell you what to do. like go to a "happy home".
I have a very sick sense of humor. It gets me thru the morning.
I give fashion advice.
I swear they ripped the character "Vince Noir" from "The Mighty Boosh" off of me! But, I love him and that show just the same.

I interview myself. I would like other people to interview me, but I ask myself some pretty interesting questions. If you want to interview me, I'd love to do it!
If you want to jam, take pics, hang out, whatever. I'm down! I love new people and new experiences!
That about does it. If you want to know more, just ask me! I'm around.
One more thing. I love to be loved!
