If you're gonna get down... GET DOWN & PRAY!

About Me


The reason I've decided to get a MySpace site goin' is to explain a bit about myself, and hope that this in turn encourages some of my "regulars" (ELECTRIC BANANA every Wednesday, STOMPER! every 3rd Friday of the month, POP CONFESSIONAL every 1st Friday of the month - all @ THE SOCIAL and THE RESCUE ROOMS every other Saturday), to come up with interesting & imaginative requests for tunes.
The truth lads 'n lasses, is I honestly DON'T expect you to like ALL of what I play, but I would like you to arrive with an OPEN MIND and UP FER A DANCE. Just think of my nights as being a bit like an audio 'mystery tour' - Something good and unexpected will come along within the next ten minutes, even if you don't immediately hear something you're familiar with or like. I'm very deliberately all over the place, because I get bored very easily.
and Personally... As of 2007 my better half (SUE) 'n me, have been together for 29 years. We've got two lovely daughters... Alice and Frances. I'm 48 years old and like red wine.

My Interests

All the fantastic videos that I had up here before, can now be seen as my favourites up on my YouTube site ??? (+ loads of other mad stuff; Mexican SANTO trailers, live footage of THE MONKS, mind bending BOLLYWOOD.)
Does this mean anybody can view 'em ?
I really don't know. Anyhow... this, month I'm getting back into wrestling in a BIG way...
check out this FANTASTIC! Mexican (Lucha Libre) Wrestling, it takes a while to load up... but it's worth it.
