About Me

I'm 23, and not doing much with my life. Recently (ish) finished an MPhil in Egyptology (in Birmingham, where I first went to Uni), now I spend my days 'looking for a proper job' and waiting for the weekend - temping is not much fun. Into sports and the usual things...I also make music and have had a couple of things released here and there under the moniker JBC...

Three more things about me:

1. I'm half French.
2. A tiger once tried to bite me. I stepped back just in time though, so it only scratched me with an incisor rather than, er, tearing off a massive chunk of my flesh.
3. I think the Bobby Brown credibility revival should start here and now - My Prerogative? Humpin' Around? Genius.

My Interests

did a masters in egyptology so i guess that has to count as an interest, (making) music, (listening to) music, photography (new obsession), and going out and staying in...

I'd like to meet:

people I know and people I don't...

Music:

I'm a soul boy at heart, but I was led astray by hip hop aged 15. That was a long time ago. My favourite albums I bought in 2006: Beach Boys - Pet Sounds, Richard Hawley - Coles Corner, Ghostface Killah - Fishscale, erm, Scott Walker - Scott 4, Jacques Brel - Infiniment, Sonnyjim - Soul Trader (technically an EP, but I produced two songs, so it's going on the list), The Clipse - We Got It 4 Cheap Vol 2, Justin Timberlake - FutureSexLoveSound (up until 'Summer Love', it's classic material. Really), Hot Chip - The Warning, Tom Waits - Orphans and Ghetto - 2000 And Life...

my fave albums of all time are nas - illmatic, pet sounds, al green - i'm still in love with you, and 'silhouettes and masquerades' by lewis parker

Movies:

The Third Man, A Fistful of Dollars, The High Plains Drifter, Memento, La Grande Vadrouille, The Beat That My Heart Skipped, anything that makes me look like a clever poseur

Television:

Hollyoaks, naturally. other than that not a great deal - Curb Your Enthusiasm, early Seinfeld, the Smoking Room, the OC, that kind of thing

Books:

dostoevsky, easton ellis, bulgakov, honore de balzac, camus - again, anything that makes me look like a poseur

Heroes:

serge gainsbourg, look him up. and Prince.
