I may have made some mistakes

About Me

Yes. I came back. I know I kept getting annoyed at the millions of crappy bands adding me, but I guess that is what the deny button is to be used for.
To those who didn't already know me, I'm Kate, presently living in London although originally from Grimsby. My biggest passion is Music - particularly Noise, IDM, Electronica, Breakcore, and closely followed by Rock music. I'm fairly open minded about most of it really. I have written music/CD reviews/interviews for several Webzines including Connexion Bizarre , Black Harvest , and The Londonist . I've also recently started working with Re:automation Radio , who for some crazy reason, actually let me make mixes to play to you lot!! :) Awesome :)
Otherwise I'm a bit of a geek girl, and like IT, Comics, movies, and have just gotten myself a new obsession with exercise - if you can believe that! I also enjoy travelling, going to festivals, reading (am a big fan of Clive Barker), cooking and hanging out with friends and interesting people.
Oh and I can also be found in the following places...
Twitter
Facebook
Last.fm
and, more often than not... Livejournal

You are Faye Whitaker! You're sassy, smart, and squishy. Even if you are a little rounder around the edges, at least you have confidence. You don't let anybody mess with you... or else they'll have to face your fists or your sonic hips. You attitude may, however, cover up some security issues.

VAST - Islington Academy

Just got home from seeing VAST. The gig in itself was really great....but not quite great enough to be amazing. I think I’ve been spoilt in the past by amazingly small and very personal gigs - t...

The Last Tuesday Society Spring Ball was wonderful!! Myself and my friend Rin met up for coffee beforehand and got raped financially as a reward (£4 for a small cappuccino - tourist prices!). We then ...

Broken Missy

Apologies for current mood update. Just had a really difficult morning, and had my resolve tested a little too much. Personally speaking I take things far too personally, and if left to dwell on thing...

New Mix

I haven't been utterly lazy today. I did get round to putting a new mix together...not particularly well mixed but it's a lot of stuff I've been listening to a lot recently...and not much of a trace o...

A big fat dose of positivity!

I realised today that recently I've been dwelling on stuff that either (a) I can't change and (b) stuff that makes me sad....generally (a) and (b) seem to stem from each other, but we're not focusing ...

No ghosts here!

Well today didn't quite work out as planned. My general idea was to lounge around the house, have lush bath and general girliness, head to sainsburys for wine and snacks, return home and await guests ...

Kates favourite albums of 2007

Yes. I finally found the time to getting around to doing this, as I have been meaning to for some time. I think this year's choices will be quite surprising to most people - noise hasn't really been d...
