Californian in Ohio. Here's a list of some music- or film-related books I own to give you a general idea of my interests; I'd be happy to collaborate about virtually anything in there and more. I also have access to a few resources through the great Wikipedia Library Program.

Here are my fave albums 💖🎶🥴 (as of the last edit)

Lately I contribute lots of images through Wikimedia Commons, mostly American works from the 20th century that are in the public domain. One of my major contributions to Wikipedia through Commons was to upload a public domain posters for as many films in the National Film Registry as possible. I have some familiarity with arcane details of US copyright law, and some amateur chops in Adobe Photoshop. I'm happy to help you determine a particular work's copyright status, and/or to help identify potential public domain images available to illustrate a given topic.

Nice things people told me:

For your extensive work with music articles, especially with alt rock articles and WikiProject Alternative music. Your work on the Smashing Pumpkins related articles, in particular, has been exemplary! Keep up the good work.-Werideatdusk33 04:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

today and tonight
Thank you for quality articles such as Slay Tracks (1933–1969) and Smashing Pumpkins songs Today and Tonight, for a pure user page mentioning only articles, quality and people, for recognizing notability and bringing an article "up to such high quality before nominating ... where no further work ... was required to meet the criteria", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Thanks for all of the images you added to the Great American Novel. Personally, I'm really bad with copyright licenses. ~ HAL333 20:50, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
