About Me

Trying to find a job... all that good stuff. Anyone got contacts in the music recording biz? Give me a job!Oh, and look ye here at my new blog thing!http://thepowermonkey.blogspot.com/

My Interests

Music - I am the uber-geek. Books, movies, JD&Coke, lazing on a sunny afternoon, playing guitar badly, lazing on a rainy afternoon, football, rugby, my yearly game of tennis, buying harmonicas then never quite getting round to learning to play them, cats, the occasional travelling. All the usual stuff really.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody cool, easy-going and lacking in pretention.

Music:

Beach Boys, Babyshambles, Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things, Rufus Wainwright, The Strokes, Ryan Adams, dubious old Britpop.... Neil Young, Aphex Twin.... the usual.

Movies:

Favourites? Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Whalerider, Garden State, Hero, Leaving Las Vegas, LOTR (directors cuts please...), Star Wars (4,5,6). Before Sunrise / Before Sunset. Can't think of any others for the time being, I'll have to get back to you on that.

Television:

Doesn't really go much beyond the Simpsons, South Park, ER, West Wing and CSI. Not one for 'I'm a non-entity' style reality TV shenanigans, but I do rather like the occasional wildlife documentary.

Books:

Anything by: Tolkien, Douglas Coupland, Don DeLillo, Richard Braugtian, Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, Witi Ihimaera, Haruki Murakami, elmore Leonard, or Stephen King (to name but a few)...

Heroes:

Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams, Tony Adams (no relation), Freddy Mercury, Slash, Bill Murray, Bruce Lee, Dennis The Menace, Hendrix, Zappa, Matt Groening and Leo Fender.

My Blog

My new blog!

Tis not on myspace, tis elsewhere: http://thepowermonkey.blogspot.com/ Nothing groundbreaking, but it seemed like a neat idea to have a little bit of space that was mine. I'll try and dig up some cool...
