About Me

Hello, I am nik. I am also called mc~dc from the Stupid Idiots, which is my band, which I form half of. I study politics and philosophy at Glasgow Uni, and am otherwise unemployed. I enjoy chopping vegetables, reading things off of wikipedia, watching the sopranos, getting fucked, and the socialist revolution.

My Interests

I am interested in Marxism, philosophy, politics, linux, music, socialist revolution, funny things, nice things, internet things, toothpaste for dinner, football, reading the guardian, wikipedia, peter cook, kraftwerk, fighting the system, the miners' strike, dinosaur comics, white ninja comics, absurdism, surrealism, satire, weird dreams.

I'd like to meet:

Shiona Cuthbertson, Neve Campbell,Katie Melua, Lilly Allen and Amelie. I'd also like to meet Tony Benn and Billy Bragg. I met Billy Bragg once, but we didn't chat. He gave me a hug though, I was pure steaming.

Music:

Blur, Kraftwerk, Billy Bragg, Pure Reason Revolution, Asian Dub Foundation, Ladytron, Vitalic, Errors, Arctic Monkeys, Bob Dylan, Chesney Hawkes, Outkast, The Streets, Roots Manuva, Gorillaz, Belle and Sebastien, Lightning Seeds, The Levellers, Fairport Convention, Manic Street Preachers, Nick Drake, The Clash, Dandy Warhols, The Libertines, Rage Against The Machine, NOFX, Beastie Boys, Outhere Brothers, Mylo, Madness, Air, Royksopp, The Specials, Badly Drawn Boy, Julian Cope. I like quite a lot of stuff, but I'm not very anal about music - I'm not the kind of person who knows every track by every artist, or even who does half the songs I like. I like listening to the music they play at optimo in the sub club, and I like listening to military fanfares... a lot.

Movies:

Out of what I have seen, I like the Godfather, Goodfellas, Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction, Usual Suspects, If..., City of God, Bugsy Malone, Blazing Saddles, and Donnies Darko and Brasco. I like lots of other films too, but I don't know their names or can't remember them instantly. I don't know any actors names either. Apart from a few obvious ones. I'm not really interested in movies in any way, apart from to watch them on TV late at night.

Television:

The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, Peep Show, Vic and Bob, Spaced, Documentaries, Channel 4 News. Anything Chris Morris has had a hand in is usually worth watching. The West Wing... it makes me feel strangely patriotic. Particularly strange, seen as I'm not from America, haven't ever been there, and am pretty much a communist.

Books:

I like books by franz kafka a lot. i try and read other things too, but they generally don't seem as good so i forget about them and think about franz kafka instead. whenever i start a book i seem to lose it somewhere anyway. i mostly read wikipedia really, because i can comfortably use my laptop to read the internet in bed, but i find it much harder to get comfortable when i am reading a book. they should make books more comfy, then i would read more of them probably. although, when i am reading a good book i get obsessed and read it non stop without sleeping no matter how uncomfortable it is. i read the castle in one day i'll have you know, it was great.

Heroes:

Go on then. Lenin, Guevara, Tony Benn, George Orwell, Ally McCoist, Brian Laudrup, Paul Gasgcoine, Peter Cook, Damon Albarn.
