My name is Brian Eberlein and I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota of the United States of America. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa where I studied Film and Computer Science. 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, music, philosophy/culture theory, and that which encompasses all of the above: revolutionary policies/politics. I am a filmmaker and have many works, I may share a few at some point via the internet, upon doing so I will make that knowledge available here.

I write a lot, I have an online journal located at themelvins.net/brian but have been working on more long term projects that have taken me away from this mode of output over the recent months.

I use the linux operating system, i prefer the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, although I'm beginning to explore other distro's which are totally free as understood by the gnu standards put forth by a hero of mine Richard Stallman. 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!

I collect melvins bootlegs sort of, a list of the ones I have is located here.

I have some favorite filmmakers, in no particular order some of my favorites are David Lynch, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Luis Buñuel, Abel Ferrara, John Cassavetes, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Stan Brakhage, Terrance Malick, Michael Haneke, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Stanley Kubrick.

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 currently make mostly 'ambient noise'which more often than not is to be used in conjunction with visual material I have created.
I listen to a lot of other music besides Melvins and their side projects; 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.
