About Me

I have a great big 'ol crush on Katamari Damacy.
Which Trainspotting Character Are You? ...and apparently I'm a hot Scottish dude too.

My Interests

MUSIC - pretty much all the time, bad jokes, good design, reading, James Cagney, video games - all games really, chatting for hours while chain smoking, craftyness, and the new and novel.

I'd like to meet:

Everybody.

Music:

My man Bowie, Love Is All, Interpol, The Arcade Fire, The Go! Team, Animal Collective, Franz Ferdinand, Art Brut, Rufus, The Darkness, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Pheonix, Caesars, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Camera Obscura, MF Doom, Mirah, The Specials, The Skatalites, Kings of Leon, The Incredible Moses Leroy, Ivy, Architecture in Helsinki, Ladytron, The Decemberists, Leonard Cohen, Bill Withers, Cole Porter, Belle and Sebastian, Man Man, and so many others it'd be ridiculous to go on.

Movies:

Trainspotting, Lost in Translation, Lawrence of Arabia, Earth Girls are Easy, Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic. The amount that I dig on old movies is just stupid. Favorites include: Film Noir, 30's screwballs, pre-code gangstas and ho's, and Fred Astaire doing his thing.

Books:

Everything is Illuminated, The Fortress of Solitude, The Amazing Adventures of Kevalier and Clay, The Music Programme, The Little Prince, and design books with big, beautiful photos. Authors: Ray Bradbury, Frank O'Hara, Haruki Murakami, William Gibson, and um, Terry Pratchett (guess I'm kinda flying my freak flag here).

Heroes:

Batman.
