About Me

Art. Music. Mischief. SEE INTERESTS ---------
Captain Beefheart... you are one of the first
modern fucked-up geniuses. When it comes to
creating, you rank right up there with the
likes of James Mangan, John Wilmot and Edvard
Munch.

Which fucked-up genius composer are you?

Music:

I love music more than I could ever possibly convey to you. I could never describe to you how and what music makes me feel. It would be a terrible injustice to try and make a short list of bands or solo artists that I adore because I know that somewhere I will leave some out. Just to share with you, two things I look for in an artist or a group are integrity and sincerity. If you want to know what or who I really like just ask and I will most happily oblige.I always list here what I've been listening to as of late and mainly it's been Gang of Four, The Jam, Hot Water Music, Rain, Avail, Felt, Idle Kids, Vena Cava and Small Brown Bike.

Movies:

It's really hard to list these as well...sorry. I like documentaries, comedy and horror flicks. Either those genres or come up with something incredibly clever and I may enjoy it. You got that directors?

Television:

Don't watch too much but if I do I prefer it to be these: Twin Peaks. Twilight Zone. Dark Shadows. Curb Your Enthusiasm. The Benny Hill Show. Loony Toons. Monty Python's Flying Circus. Request Video. Arrested Development. Mr. Show. Space Ghost. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. Drawn Together... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..

dissention

In a democracy, dissent is an act of faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but in its effects." -J. William Fulbright, US Senator (1905-1995)
