You will mostly find me here coz it's probably the best music site in t'interweb thingy!!Music & DJ'ing, messing about with cars, motorbikes, a bit of DIY now and again, and generally having a good life. I am particularly fond of Subaru Imprezas and the camaraderie that seems to be present amongst the various owners up and down the country. I pop along to "meets" and like to check out performance car events such as "Ten Of The Best". I'm well into motorbikes, but (as I said earlier) am without one at the moment.
Salvador Dali would have been quality. Peter Gabriel, Lee Evans, Jonathan Ross, Billy Connolly, Steven Hawking, Jenifer Anniston, Kiera Knightley, Ray Winstone, Russell Brand & I wish I'd met Lenny McLean!!
I love Keane, saw them in October 2006 and they were superb. Favourite album of all time: Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat. I've always preferred "unplugged" stuff and in the last couple of months I've seen some superb performances by unknown artists, playing "celtic" and Irish influenced stuff. As far as the DJ'ing goes, I like and play funky/tech house, trance, progressive, Italian synth and piano stuff. My DJ'ing influences and inspiration came from going out "raving" at some brilliant underground clubs in 1991/2/3 and in 1995 or so, Sasha/Digweed/Ossia/Seaman and co played a large part in a change in musical direction towards trance and house I also like to listen to a bit of classical (certain pieces)now and again....stuff like "Largo" (Hovis advert) and Pomp & Circumstance.....Last Night Of The Proms kinda stuff. I like too many tunes to list my favourites......I'd be here all year!!!! I'm currently listening the The Hoosiers and Morcheeba.
All Peter Sellers films. The Italian Job (original) Cannonball Run. Heroes Of Telemark. The Great Escape. Vanishing Point. Bullitt.
All Ronnie Barker stuff. National Geographic and Discovery Channel type programmes. Motoring programmes like Top Gear, Fifth Gear, etc feature strongly in my viewing. Ant & Dec are always good entertainment too. I also love to see people hurting themselves when doing daft stuff...Jackass, Dirty Sanchez, Team Squirrel (World Famous For Dicking Around), etc, etc.
Aldous Huxley - Brave New World and Doors Of Perception. Alexander Shulgin - P.I.H.K.A.L. Bill Bryson - A Short History Of Nearly Everything (FANTASTIC BOOK) I have a particular fondness for British "real crime" and gangster related books.
My Dad. My Grandad. Anyone that can battle against a disease and carry on with life - true heroes in my eyes. Guitar heroes: Chris Rea, Eric Clapton, Dave Gilmour, Snowy White, Peter White, Joe Walsh, Graham Russell, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Adrian Vandenberg, Mason Williams, Andrés Segovia.
