About Me

My Interests

Music, ESPECIALLY live.

Films, mainly comedies.

Comedy, laughing is the best thing after sex, booze, drugs and music.

Football, sport of kings

Alcohol, the nectar of all things good and bad(mostly good though).

Playing my sexy guitar and learning new stuff on it

Taking photos of the random and mundane and trying to make it look beautiful.

I'd like to meet:

Trent Reznor, Jerry Seinfeld, Seth McFarlane(he created family guy, there's your reason), Bill Bailey, Rich Hall, Gene Wilder, Mel Brooks, Leslie Nielsen, Steve Buscemi, Head formerly of Korn so i can slap god out of him. Oh & i'd also love to meet The Dresden Dolls (mainly just Amanda what with all her fitness).

Music:



Music is pretty much my greatest passion in life and in my opinion is the best way to make me feel alive because i love sitting and listening to music without a caqre in the world and just getting taken away in it all. It would also explain why my music taste quite diverse because i feel in order to love music, you cannot afford to be fussy about what you like in terms or genre, music is there to be HEARD not shut off, that's why you should always give something a listen once even if it's terribly breif.

If you don't like music lists look away now lol.

The bands that have a * or number in brackets represents how many times i've seen that band live.

I fucking LOVE nine inch nails and i pratically worship Trent Reznor. I can't think of/know of any musicians who capture and project all emotions lyrically and sonically the way he can. The music is so perfectly crafted i have nothing but admiration for the man on being able to write such rich, layered music on his own. He's a modern musical genius in every sense of the word and for that, his music should not be ignored and will never be forgotten by me for as long as i shall live. Seeing NIN live is an experiance of a lifetime and is not to be missed should the oppurtunity arise.

I also like/love Korn(4), Deftones(*), TV On The Radio, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Queens of the stone age(*), Instruction(*), Depeche Mode(2), The Cure, Metallica, David Bowie, Nirvana, Foo Fighters(2), Audioslave, Ralph Myerz And The Jack Herren Band, Seether, Reuben(3), Beck, Jamie Lidell, Winnebago Deal, Alkaline Trio(*), Soundgarden, RATM, Claypigeon(3375873 lol)( ADD THEM! ), Ladytron(*), The Dresden Dolls(2), Pearl Jam, Interpol, Pink Floyd, Biffy Clyro(3), At the Drive-in, Mars Volta, Ash, Incubus, Cave-in(*), Razorlight(*), Super Furry Animals, Pitchshifter(*), Guns'n'Roses, Chris Issac, Maximo Park, Nine Black Alps(*), Joy Division, Jerry Cantrell, Primus, Old U2(i.e. good), Head Automatica, Stone Temple Pilots, Morningwood, Papoose, Faith No More, Glassjaw, Snow Satrol, Muse(2), Skindred(2), Hot Hot Heat, Trivium(well, one song, the anthem sucks balls and is by NO means an anthem), Pendulum, Spineshank, Avenged Sevenfold, Gnarls Barkley, (hed) pe, A Perfect Circle, The Boxer Rebellion, Chromeo, Weezer(*), Echo and The Bunnymen(*), Tenacious D(*), Editors, Supergrass, Green day, Taking Back Sunday, +44, The Thermals, The Killers, Jeff Buckley, Madness, Secret Machines(2), Nick Cave, DJ Shadow, Jurassic 5(2), DJ Nu-Mark, Cut Chemist, Roll Deep, Professor Green(*), Plan B(*), Example(*), N.W.A., Beastie Boys, DJ Format(2), Dilated peoples, Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, Kanye West, Chris Cornell, Dizzee Rascal, Busta Rhymes(2), Skinnyman, Jay-Z, NaS, Onyx and Wu-Tang Clan etc etc.
