My name is Brian Eberlein and I live in Iowa City, Iowa the location of the University of Iowa. I've just graduated with a bachelor's degree and am currently working on campus as a computer consultant. The Melvins are without a doubt my favorite band, I thank them with this website for all the great music they've created over the years.

My main interests are film, computers, and music not necessarily in that order. I use the linux operating system, i prefer the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. I program in C++, Perl, and Java as well as a helping of other languages that I'm at a beginners level with, something I've been getting into recently by way of making this website is PHP, which stands for PHP: Hypertext Processor which is a recursive acronym! A good place to talk about technology is slashdot.org.

I collect melvins bootlegs sort of, a list of the ones I have is located here. I have some favorite directors of course, in no particular order some of my favorites are David Lynch, Jean-Luc Godard, Martin Scorcese, Luis Buñuel, Andrei Tarkovsky, Stanley Kubrick, and I also enjoy the better work of George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola.

I play guitar and bass, I've been in a couple bands in my time as well which was very fun, we played shows and wrote our own material. I listen to alot of other music besides the melvins and other related bands like Fantômas and Tomahawk; such as Sun Ra, Hair Police, Mono, Wolf Eyes, Shellac, Boredoms, Converge, Enemymine, Melt Banana, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mr. Bungle, Nurse With Wound, The Locust, Zeni Geva, Naked City, Arab on Radar, Cows, Merzbow, Neurosis, Isis, The Jesus Lizard , Unwound, Dillinger Four, Hopesfall, Calvin Krime, Gang of Four, Secret Chiefs 3, Fugazi, Autechre, Sonic Youth, Black Dice, Boards of Canada, John Coltrane, Hella, Mastodon, Matmos, and Venetian Snares just to name a few.

Thanks for visiting my website, please buy Melvins music.
