About Me

But then what isn't?

I edited my profile with Thomasâ€™ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

Duelling, killing time, photography, ..aries, eclectic music. Riding the rails, the sham of democracy.

I'd like to meet:

Hugely wealthy women to furnish me with money so that I can pay my army. A giant cat with wings.

Music:

Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Flatlanders, Beck, The Fall, The Band, Bob Dylan, Alexander Spence, King Crimson, the Who, Pete Seeger, Nick Drake, The Dirty Three, Velvet Underground, Tindersticks, Leonard Cohen, Country Joe and the Fish, Beast Process. The MC5, R.L. Burnside. American Folk music, Country music that doesn't induce vomiting. Rockabilly. This is "among others".

Movies:

Yeah, who doesn't?

Television:

I no longer watch television. TV gone now, sometimes people ask me what I do without it. More fucking. Less comatose drooling.

Books:

Anything by Antione du saint Exupery, the little prince, night flight. I like Alan Moore's graphic novels, league of Extraordinary Gentlemen, 'V' for Vendetta, Louis De Bernieres, Graham Greene, Gibbon, some sci-fi. I been reading a lot about chivalry, medieval history, Enjoyed The Three Musketeers. Persian Fire, read a book about Alexander the Great, but I can't remember the author's name. I just started a novel by Aldous Huxley, I'll let you know how it turns out. Turns out it didn't.

Heroes:

Marauders. Armoured Bears.
