About Me

Hello!! I am doing a music degree in Derby so add me... Sometimes live in Bristol though. 23, Male, UK etc..

Some normailty, and some things. Plus pus, hilarity, making tunes and noises, audio recording (as well as playing and writing, A&R), photography, spending time with my asshole friends, making a mess painting, reading extensively (most people should read more as everyone maintains)! Keeping things tidy, polyphasic sleep, history, pyramids, exploding heads (mazin)! Beauty, listening to music, striving to be less cynical, riding my bmx, ironic pretension (honest)! Bumming around in the gym. Eating right, drinking wrong, being xscenex as fuck etc. ..
