My Interests

Guitar, composing, writing and playing computer games, being in the world.

I'd like to meet:

I believe everyone we meet is for a reason, I have learned a lot from the most unlikely people so I'm notgoing to narrow this down to any one race, age group, or anything else.

There are a number of people I feel I could learn from though, the main one being Genesis. P. Orridge, maybe if he poppedround for tea we could chat about the nature of man or the man of nature or a trillion other things. An afternoon withRichard Fammeree would be cool and so would a natter with Allan Holdsworth, God I could learn so much, maybe.....

Oh and YOU, I would love to natter with you about the way you see the world, I would mostly listen intently drawing as much as I could from you and stoking more coal on the fire, that would be loverly :)

Grant Morrison Speaks

Music:

It's already there in "About me", music is very important to me. Imogen Heap's Hide & Seek is the most significant thing I have heard this year.

Movies:

Far too many to name anything by Ridley Scott, Donnie Darko, Butterfly Effect, Beetlejuice, Fandango, Fargo, Jacob's Ladder and on and on

Television:

Television is mind control, it's all about watching people live there life instead of getting off yer arse and living yer own. "Smash your TV" I say.

Books:

I don't read fiction, it is a waste of time. If it doesn't contain useful information then why bother.

Heroes:

Genesis. P. Orridge , s/he has the courage of his/her convictions and lost his/her country because of them. Austin Osman Spare because he gave up everything to follow thee path and shunned riches and fame. Anyone who makes music is a hero in my book.

Too many pages (dilemma)

Setting up on MySpace is not easy, especially when you are rash like me. To begin I set up this page to show off my music and so forth, easy enough but then I found that I couldn't play music in a pla...
