Matt Diverse

Right, I now have 365 friends, that's one for every day of the year, from now on if I add someone new i'm going to delete someone else. I've just got too many bands that I never listen to and who I never speak to. Worryingly this will eventually lead to me having 365 people that I do speak to. Maybe at that point i'll realise I use myspace too much.
I've now blocked band requests as i'm just getting too many. If you genuinely think i'll like your band, mail me with a bit about why i'll like you and i'll happily have a listen. Cheers people.
Not a lot to know really, i'm from Cwmbran, I work and live in Cardiff. I spend too much money on music be it going to gigs or buying CDs. I can be found hanging around in either the Dorallt or Le Pub if in Cwmbran or more likely the Wharf, Rummer and Barfly if in town. During the football season i'll be down Ninian Park watching Cardiff City. I read a lot of books, a fair few of which are by quality local authors. I now work in a record shop which frankly is a dream come true, it's called Diverse Music, it's in Newport and there's a banner and link above. I also make a quality curry and a legendary pepper sauce.
If anyone is really bored and wants to trawl through a website me and Dave had about a million years ago, strangely you can still find it here:

Or by typing 'Steele Retchless Shrine' into Google. Don't ask.
