drinking, walking (up big craggs n stuff),seeing bands, playing bass, camping oot in t' countryside (to include drinking whiskey and watching shooting stars etc)music, see below. Hate listing interests - i'm interested in anything interesting. the internet and the fortean times are a great source of downright wierd shit . People watching - isnt the human race fascinating? ****FUCK WALKING UP HILLS I'M BORED WITH THAT, I LIKE JUST STAYING IN THE HOUSE. I like getting pissed up to the eyeballs.
1. a drummer, singer, guitarist or bass player and a van driver for my imaginary future band. Must not under any circumstances have any ideas of their own. I'm in charge. half-cherokee an advantage but not essential3. myself, 20 years hence.4. myself, 20 years ago; armed with future foresight i'd do everything exactly the same. maybe a bit more careful opening that sardine tin 1987.
the fall, metric, beefheart,flaming lips, pixies, clash, Too numerous to list. owt good with guitars in it thats not shite. clUTCH- . STUMP. victorian english gentlemans club .bE YOUR own pet. royal treatment plant - dick dale (aye, the pulp fiction music); keep your eddie van halen and steve vai - this man plays a strat with a neck bowed like a banana with a high action and strings like telegraph cables. thats what I call skill. WRONG - see them if you can - legends. I went and gone and seen motorhead too...well, it was one of those 'must do before i die' (or before he dies) things the who. the doors. the beatles . the kinks . the animals. the troggs. dr.feelgood. radiohead. the cramps. ac/dc. hendrix. bob dylan. the smiths. jesus and mary chain. You get the picture, i like guitar music. Open to owt though, . . hands up who remembers BROTH MESSIAHS ! . Frank black's back on form of late
very bad things, being john malkovitch, royal tennenbaums. . check out 'series seven-the contenders'. eraserhead- still like to watch this when I'm drunk, still havent figured it out. Bubble boy; contains the brilliant line "i'm some kind of bubble boy". Shaolin soccer - better than kung fu hustle.sideways was quite good. Dont like film snobbery - i'll enjoy owt from arty farty to brainless blockbuster, as long as its not shite. I like a good horror, usually with a bit of humour - but sick of films promising to be the goriest thing ever when theyre not. night of the hunter - robert mitchum; if you havent seen this film , see it. NOT the richard chamberlain shit remake. . borat was funny. Amelie made me laugh out loud and warmed the cockles o' me heart. transformers. lost in translation - for the finale alone.BAD SANTA - he's an alcoholic, he pisses his pants and he likes to fuck big women up the arse ********the one where that big fat man with the long hair force feeds a chimpanzee then kicks it in the stomach, cant for the life of me remember the name.i think its spanish.
Peep show, mitchell & webb, ideal, the thick of it, MY NAME IS EARL. harry hill. trigger happy tv. COAST - the sheer enthusiasm alone of that long haired booby presenter makes this enjoyable. good job of bringing doctor who back too. Shameless.. Twin peaks. northern exposure. south park. californication. x- files. old star trek with kirk nd spock AND FUCKING JEREMY FUCKING KYLE, watched it for the first time this week and it was hilarious. exploitative maybe, but hilarious. and ye cant go wrong with coronation street, although eastenders is a bit grim like, MIGHTY BOOSH !!!!!!!!
currently Bill bryson. before that 'the curious incident of the dog in the night ' was good. 'nice cup of tea and a sit down' is good - a book about tea and biscuits - lists and describes just about every biscuit. MOBY DICK.. i have to be honest, I've yet to finish this one after two attempts spanning about 25 years. it seems to range from extremely tedious, to extremely funny and a bit dark along the way. And i highly recomend TOM BAKER'S autobiography - 'who on earth is tom baker?' this book is hilarious.
1. whoever invented milk. have you tasted black coffee? 2. my Mrs. she's the one who sorts out all the wires at the back of the telly and all the complicated technical stuff like that. mind you she's not capable of putting the lid back on the marmite jar to save her life. You cant have everything though can you. 3. some of these modern (or whatever theyre called) artists - for having the sheer luck and audacity to get away with presenting a load of scribble as an artistic masterpiece,to The pretentious twats who lap it all up.5.jack nicholson - he just seems to be,heres me and I dont give a shit6.whoever invented the magnetic screwdriver. The saviour of hamfisted DIY oafs like me. 7.various mad as a bag of rats olden days inventors / adventurers / idea thinker uppers ; reading about some of these eccentric / mad geniuses is fascinating. 8. Dennis hopper - WATCH the film 'rivers edge' - its dated a bit; grungey 80's type cult - ish thing - DENNIS hopper plays a completely unhinged drug dealer (i think it was). He dances with a blow up doll and plays a saxophone like a five year old THis may be My all time favourite film performance EVER.10. my very very small but special group of friends, i'm talking proper close friends, you know who you are, theres not many of you but your the real deal11. my dad. took me a long time to appreciate the infuriating old bugger and he's not going to be around forever. Anyone who can create such a fine painting then stick a paper moon on it is a legend...thats my dad !
