I am Jack. I have broadband internet in my head.

About Me

..I like Isobel, paisley, the smell of grass, the humble fashion and thump of The Band (and Danko's fretless bass that sounds like Canadian soil e.g. listen to The Rumor), Ronnie Lane's scarves, New Zealand dub, Bestival, Dancing Ledge, Ocean Bay, Worbarrow Bay, salty sea, the Square and Compass, orange skies above Dorset dusk, ducks, decks (turntables/cards/snowboards). Here's a pause. Other stuff too like Dingo's twelve string, my Strat, the guitar Gar gave me. Thumping drums. The Faces but not Rod. I want to learn to DJ, as much as I love a cheese platter I'm not a fan of the mass produced Pilgrim's Choice filling the nightclubs...the 7s collection is growing exponentially. I'm at uni in pseudo-trendy Bath doing French and Italian. I love ale. And cider. And meat. Canned Heat fuckin' rock. My ethos is that of optimism, realism, and day to day mirth. Food is and girls' bottoms are fucking ace too.Check out my mix at http://www.b00mb0x.org/wordpress/2007/11/06/2505Mix Part 2 available here http://www.b00mb0x.org/wordpress/2008/01/12/mixed-salad-part -2/
