I'd like to meet:

THE COLD DOG SOUP RISE ANIMATION:Callum Galhooley!
Yes I like meet. Meet tastes good. Better than those vegetables. Good enough for the dinosaurs good enough for me. In fact I think I might eat some herbivores. mmmm herbivore taste good. How come a lot of the guys i'd like to meet are dead? Is that telling me something? Would have loved to meet: Bill Hicks, Shannon Hoon, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Cash, Orson Wells. Would still love to meet the amazing Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Blind Melon, Anthrax, Radiohead, Electric Six sure theres loads more but me mind is blank...

Music:

Yes i like music.Indeed. ELO, Blind Melon, Tom Petty, George Harrison, The Move, Radiohead, Nirvana, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Machine Head, War of the Worlds (Richard Burton), Machine Head, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Electric Six, Unified Theory, Early Metallica, Counting Crows before the dude got soppy, I suppose theres a place for Crowded House.. not sure where that is tho! Got to mention the other prongs of the triple en'tente The Immersed and The Vegetable State.

Movies:

movies.. where to start?I seem to be going off soul-less american trash films more and more these days, formulae nonsense. Films I have enjoyed and respect: Dune, Medussa Touch, A Touch of Evil, touchity touch (only joking), Evil Dead, Xtro, Dark City, Donny Darko, Lord of the Rings, Cold Dog Soup, Akira, Fist of the North star (animation not the movie.. ugh), Mean Streets, Pulp Fiction, X-men (i know!), Fear and Loathing, Event Horizon, Ring 0, Jaberwocky, The Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Amity Ville horror, Carrie, Christine, One flew over the cuckoos nest, blade runner, citizen kane, dr. strangelove, original starwars not this new cgi pish, taxi driver, 2001 a space odyssey, a clockwork orange, shawshank redemption, terminator, close encounters, goodfellas, platoon, short circuit, hercules returns, eat and run,

Television:

Yes I have a television. Its a big glowing box with nobs on. Sometimes theres something bearable on it.. but I cant really think of anything right noo.Oh aye, the Dragons Dens a good laugh. Want to give me 50000 so I can set up a icecream fireguard to sell to the eskimos?

Books:

Aaah, now were talking..I suppose my favourite books when I was young were Grail Quest (J.H.Brennan), Steve Jackson/Ian Livingston books (fighting fantasy books), the obligatory Lord Of The Rings, 1984, any reference/knowledge books.. especially Blue Planet and anything about space. Oh and dinosaurs. Wasn't that cruel of god burying all those oversized reptiles to mess with our heads? Dang hes such a kidder!
