About Me

Long-haired loon, thwarted lothario, would-be gentleman spy, beatnik filmstar in my own technicolour dreams, 'savvy' popculture guru, wag about town and general all-round clever dick.In my spare time I'm the Webmaster at Parallax View , where mostly I poke gentle, loving fun at the current generation of indie pop minstrels, as well as my fellow blogging scamps and any random strangers unlucky enough to stumble into my radar.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

This week, I'd particularly like to meet -Anyone able and willing to discuss the pros and cons, joys and pratfalls of gig promotions, including the publicity/PR side of things.People who take road safety issues very seriously indeed.People with high tolerance levels towards punning linguists.Local aerial installers offering reasonable rates.Hot psychology graduates willing to explore my mind.Amateur photographers in the West Midlands interested in taking edgy shots at gigs in the region.Informants able to provide hot, fresh entertainment industry gossip.Uberfox Fliss (aka Felicity) Jones.Private detectives gone to seed in a horrible, alcoholic kind of fashion, looking for one final shot at redemption.Folk who are always being told by their friends that they have too much time on their hands.But, in the absence of these, you'll do.
