I am here for Friends

About Me

So yeah - this *used* to be where "The Bored Housewife Radio Show" once lay. Instead, it's just my personal account now - that's me in the picture. I can assure you that I still somewhat have that smoldering look, if not with some excess weight now....My name is Benjii Jackson (note the use of two I's), and I am somewhat of a freelance journalist. By somewhat, it means that I currently write for RipItUp (NZ), The Groove Guide (NZ) and despite taking a rest from radio, looking in early 2009 to start up again. I enjoy writing, listening to music and... that's about it. I'm always keen to check new bands out, but if you've been to this site before, you already know this.If you're keen for me to check your band out for some reason, I dunno, I guess that's what MySpace is for, feel free to flick me a message here to email be at benjii.jackson[at]gmail.com You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Like minded people - be them bands, fans or people in clams. If this is one of those "Who I'd Like To Meet who is famous" lines, then it'll no doubt be a dinner party with Franz Kafka, Mitch Hedberg, Kathleen Hanna and Kurt Cobain. Killer guests I am sure you'd agree and pretty much an intense conversation....
