Life is made better by the fact that records like this exist.

When I went to Amoeba Records, a little bit of wee came out.

I am really excited by, and looking forward to the new records from The Shitty Limits, The Futureheads, Howards Alias, The Bronx, Down I Go, Stapleton, This Aint Vegas, and We Are THE PHYSICS. Jesus, 2008 is going to be WICKED.

Currently on heavy rotation are..

Television:

..and Spurs, cos thay seem to be on the box every week.

Books:

Current read: Love All The People by Bill Hicks

I have rediscovered how fun reading can be. I have recently enjoyed "Join Me", "The Yes Man" and "Danny Wallace and the Centre of The Universe" which are all by Danny Wallace . A quite intreaguing read – I highly recommend them. "Are You Dave Gorman?" was also rad.

Derren Brown's book was very interesting. I also love the Red Dwarf series (and all Rob Grant's books), Post No Bills by Shepard Fairey and anything else in the graphic design / artfag field.

I love reading CD inlays.

Modern Toss

Heroes:



Tim Harrington

Erik Thorstvedt!

Shepard Fairey.
