ello, I be Jem.
I play in a band called Kumiss.
Music is what keeps me alive. (Apart from food, water, oxygen etc etc, and maybe the occasional glass of vino..)I could listen to these all day: BattlesExplosions in the SkyThe Shins
playing keyboards in my band, playing piano to chill me out when I'm feeling a bit mental, Listening to music, hearing new music, watching gigs, playing gigs, listening to music whilst walking to places, editing images to music, hearing music when I walk into a room or a shop, or a pub, or a club, if I walked into a public toilet and they were playing explosions in the sky that would be good too, but I don't reckon there's much chance of that. If anyone were to take music away from me I would lock myself in a room and eventually die of dehydration or starvation. I probably wouldn't, in real life, I'd probably just be an angry fucker and refuse to speak to people, or maybe I'd just get depressed, I dunno. I also like.... dancing, (like a twat, I'll just add) swimming, snowboarding, reading, drawing, painting, surfing and spending lots of time with my wonderful friends and family.
