About Me

T'other day I found out that 'Reet Petite' (the greatest song ever recorded. Argue it isn't. I dare you) wasn't actually written by Berry Gordy and Billy Davis at all. It was sold to Berry by Dave Hamilton for $5. Dave also wrote Tobi Lark's 'Sweep It Out In The Shed' on Topper. Two words. Fucking Genius.I appreciate that's not 'about me'. Though I do often daydream about being Jackie Wilson. But not the wifebeating bits.

My Interests

Black music on similarly coloured wax.

I'd like to meet:

Busty, Northern, shoe designers with a delicious round ass and penchant for circus acts.

Music:

Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin are the most over-rated soul acts of all time. Discuss.

Movies:

I'm not gonna try and impress with a seemingly impressive list of unwatchable cult foreign films. Wonka, Poppins, Singing In the Rain. Hands down truly unbeatable.

Television:

I don't like the people on TV.

Books:

If a picture paints a thousand words I'm the most well read man I know. Otherwise, 'The Catalogue of Disasters', unknown author.

Heroes:

Jackie Wilson, Bobby Bland, Marlene Dietrich, John Anthony Gillis. In no particular order.
