About Me

Dave. 21. From Coventry. At Manchester Uni studying economics (awesome!). I love listening to most types of music (except any music classed as "urban". what does that mean anyway?). I'm mainly into indie, 70's and 80's punk/hardcore, ska, reggae, electronica, ambient and trip-hop. I'm also partial to a bit of trance and drum n' bass every so often. I love watching movies. I love going to gigs and festivals. I dislike people who think they are better than everyone else. I miss Mountain Dew. I love pizza. I like the smell of petrol. Neopolitan ice cream is always good. I like sleeping to avoid doing things i don't want to do. Finding things is always cool. I like driving although i don't have my own car so that pretty much put an end to that. I really hate having to wear name badges for things like work. I HATE political correctness. People with bad tattoos tend to annoy me for some reason (even though i don't have one myself...weird). I love doing things.
The Kazoo: "a rudimentary pipe or bong".
