I like playing bass, skating, listening 2 music, socialising with music involved; going to gigs, going to underground clubs and parties wherever good music can be heard. Art; painting, drawing and photography, daydreaming, going to the beach, snowboarding, travelling and meeting new people.
Anyone who can write music so well that it lasts centuries after they have gone...People like The Who, The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, Ian Curtis (I know he's dead), Anton Newcombe, Steve Coogan, Robert Smith, Stefan Osdal, Brian Molko, Carlos D of Interpol and Bob Geldof; the man who organised Band Aid and then Live Aid which still stands to be the highest rating event telecast on television! Where does one find such inspiration? ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------"Cont rol" Trailer - An Ian Curtis biopic from acclaimed photographer Anton Corbijn.Anton Corbijn interview.
First and foremost, I really DISLIKE emo, screamo or whatever you sad little kids are trying to sell to me. Please don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about coz I have been there and thank God I had a full rennaissance and recovered from that terribly horrid side of music... Each to their own, no disrespect, just not my cup of; tea, coffee or any other form of herbal or caffinated drinks you can come-up with. Good Day to you!

Back when skating was a big rivalry competition I used to idolise Tony Hawk coz of all the publicity and aspired to that but now I have realised that it's just fun to skate and that I'll never b that good either, but that's just a minor factor in the grand scheme of things... Now I simply idolise those who can change musical direction for a better cause, people like Anton Newcombe who keep it going in the right direction and will never let good music fall over dead to the useless crap of boybands and groups who powerchord their way to stardom, great their rich but I hope there's a feeling in the back of their minds telling them that their music is boring and plain.
