About Me

I like tea, stout and whisky in no particular order. I like cats, they amuse me. Big cats are awesome, rahh! I cant stand filters in roll-ups or safety matches. Good coffee is a close second to a good tea. I like mountain biking as part of my healthy smoking/drinking/sitting-in-front-of-a-monitor lifestyle. I like armwrestling when drunk. I dislike esoteric people and cliques, and sunbeds, and small viscious creatures. My mate chris goaded me out of a fear of spiders, he has not yet managed to goad me out of my fear of heights. I enjoy prolonged periods in the studio, attempting to learn norah jones tunes and jamming with people. Roy orbison is my guilty pleasure.

My Interests

Good company, dj'ing, playing with musicians, music promotion, mountain biking, snowboarding, sitting for hours in front of my pc making tunes and drinking copious amounts of tea, the many varieties of tea, and coffee, gigs, festivals, the beach, skateboarding once every blue moon.

I'd like to meet:

A koala, a happy customs official and more americans. the last two I met were lovely and not in the least bit republican.

Music:

Sigur Ros, Pink Floyd, Pantera, Peace Orchestra, Thievery Corporation and everything in between.

Movies:

Stuff by the Coen Brothers, Stanly Kubrick, Francis Ford Coppella, Takeshi Kitano, Terry Gillingham.

Television:

If it 'aint by david attenbourgh its not for me.

Books:

Alistair Beaton, Douglas Adams, Donald Norman, Irvine Welsh, J.K Rowling (and no shame about it at all!)

Heroes:

My family and friends of course!

My Blog
