Again... love music, a bit of gardening, taking photo's, herbs, going to great gigs. I'm also quite fascinated by Alaska and Japan, though i have never been to either, i would love to one day. I've collected some nice Nightmare Before Christmas toys & Oyster Boy toys, and live amongst lots of 60's/70's Retro furniture & bits & bobs. Collecting fine LP's. Also, i want to get back into mixing.
I guess we meet the people we're supposed to meet!?
Love all sorts really.. Jellyfish, TV Eyes, Jason Falkner, The Grays, Imperial Drag, Fantastic Black, Beatnik Beatch, Daft Punk, Justice, Thony Ritz, Chromeo Buckethead, Vladimir Bozar 'n' ze Sheraf Orkestar, Estradasphere, Bobby Conn, Beat Illuminati, Phoenix, Melvins, Peeping Tom, Secret Chiefs, Fantomas, Jekyl n Hyde, Shaolin Death Squad, The Tuna Helpers,Family Wipes, Tenacious D, Kings of Leon, Outkast, Amy Winehouse, Miles Davis, Beach Boys, Blind Melon, Beatles, The Police, Doors, Wings, Superchunk, Trans Am, Fucking Champs, Air, Chaka Kahn, Prince (the old stuff), Mr.Bungle, L.E.O, Black Sabbath, E.L.O, The Specials, The Selector, The Beat, and in general loving vintage ska, Pink Floyd, Queens of the Stone Age, Wellwater Conspiracy, Desert Sessions, Yura Yura Teikoku, Stevie Wonder, Led Zeppelin, Interpol, At The Drive In, Flaming Lips, Mark Ronson and Jim O'Rourke. If you can think of anything i might love but will probably never have heard of please let me know thanks.
Anything by Tim Burton esp Nightmare Before Christmas, the original Japanese versions of the Ring films, Spirited Away, Zoolander & most Ben Stiller films, Harvey ( i adore James Stewart),Howl's Moving Castle, Brewster's Millions, Benny & Joon, Life of Brian, Paper Moon, Shallow Hal, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, the Pink Panther(Peter Sellers only thank you) & most Bill Murray films. Network is a must, it applies even now, and don't forget to shout out your window, I have! For serious viewing i recommend everyone watches Zeitgeist, and anything by Alex Jones.
They are getting slimmer these days, probably why there isn't a fat lot worth watching! Having said that, this might give you an idea of what i can be botherd with... I love Northern Exposure, Monk, The Mighty Boosh, Keith Lemon's Very Brilliant World Tour, Harry Hill's TV Burp, My Name Is Earl, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Phoenix Nights. MTV is shit(so are most music TV channels)...Shake your booty!...What for? ....Piss Off!Have I Got News For You, Japanorama, King Of Queens, Little Britain, Heston Blumenthal:In Search Of Perfection, and anything that works well as visuals while talking or listening to music works for me. I wish they would re-run The Groovy Ghoulies cartoon from the 1970's! TV warning!.. It's probably not a good idea to watch cursed videos through your TV as you may experience a young Japanese girl crawling out from the screen, thus scaring you to death!... Or at least scaring you shitless! Otherwise, turn off your Tv and go about doing something else instead!
Got lots but never get the chance to read them. The last great book i read was Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck. Books to LOOK at...Pictoplasma, Dot Dot Dash, I Am Plastic, all very pleasing to my eye. Banksy Wall And Piece.
James Stewart (R.I.P Jimmy). I love his humour & grace. Wonderful man! Earl Hickey...My Karma Man! Sylvia Pankhurst, for not minding her own business! Alex Jones, no fear! People who are genuinely caring and have a conscience, and are prepared to imagine themselves in someone elses shoes. We all have the capability of altering each others lives for the better, even in the smallest of ways.
