About Me

Not much to say really, Scottish, but Welsh-ish! I am called useless by most people who know me, mainly due to the fact that I have the memory of a forgetful goldfish, and the attention span of a gnat. I love music more than anything in the world, especially anything guitary/indie/emo/punk (if that's a scene?)I have a wife and now do have a new baby girl called Star (but in Welsh - hence Seren). I do have a dog and had 2 cats which became 1 cat but are now 2 cats again!My mate Matt told me to come back on here and update my stuff, not sure I can muster as many bands as him, my uselessness has curtailed my gig going!!! but my resolution for this year is to do something about that.....we shall see!If only I could have a soundtrack to my life, that would be fantastic.........if a little confusing for people!!!

My Interests

Not sleeping, Watching Football, Books, Music (listening, not playing - that would hurt!), going to France and speaking really bad GCSE French - Je Suis Desole! dancing like a fool and occasionally smashing my head on inanimate objects (my daughter has started doing this too- should I be worried?)

I'd like to meet:

John Cusack, Gene Hackman (for reasons only Matt will know!), Muhammed Ali, Bill Murray, Angelina, Lisa Snowdon, Kate Beckinsale (pre marriage), Nat Imbruglia, John Lennon, Laura Fraser, Jason Lee (the actor not the footballer!), Steele Retchless (again only Matt will know!), Pele, Eric Cantona (although I have met him so technically he can't be included - unless there was another section called 'I'd like to meet again'???)

Music:

Oh god there is so much really that I couldn't name them all, but throughout time I have loved The Stuffies, Senseless Things, The Pixies, Biffy Clyro, The Killers, Foo Fighters, Chilli Peppers, Idlewild, Pearl Jam, The Fratellis, Beatles & Stones obviously, Razorlight, .....And you will know us by the trail of dead, Jimmy Eat World, Jimi Hendrix, Green Day (second best live band I've seen!), Kings of Leon, The Black Crowes, Incubus (forgot them), Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, Dashboard Confessional, The Ataris (best live band I've seen!), The Strokes, The Zutons, Hundred Reasons, Snow Patrol, and so many more.....

Movies:

Clerks, Chasing Amy ("Variety's the spice of life. I like a wide selection. Sometimes I'm in the mood for nasty close-ups. Sometimes I like them arty and airbrushed. Sometimes it's a spread brown-eye kind of night. Sometimes it's girl on girl time. Sometimes a steamy letter will do it. Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, I like the idea of a chick with a horse." - Chasing Amy 1997) , Princess Bride (from my youth), Grosse Pointe Blank, Anchorman (I still ache, and I don't know why!?!?), Ghostbusters, Empire Records, Weird Science, Back to the future, Almost Famous, Lost Boys, One scene in From Dusk Till Dawn (Mmmm Salma!), Dogma (another Salma moment!), Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and more to add....

Television:

My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, CSI (but only Miami), Family Guy, Soccer Am, Lost (getting there slowly, had to watch whole of the first series again!), trying to get into 24, but confused by the whole time thing!!!! Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson in general is someone I've recently started agreeing with....odd! and his books are pretty funny too, like a written down Top Gear really!

Books:

High Fidelity, A Long Way Down, Life of Pi, The Shadow of the Wind, Labyrith. after reading a review I want to read Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk as it's meant to be sick (In a gruesome way, not an American good way!)

Heroes:

Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Miles Hunt, Alan Hansen (despite Liverpool), Pablo Piccasso, Gene Simmonds, Garrincha, George Lazenby, George Peppard, Salma Hayek, Ghandi, Bill Shakespeare, Bill Murray, Michael Johnson, Vincent Van Gogh, Devon Malcolm ("Devon Malcolm's fielding was atrocious. On his first tour in the Caribbean, he turned his back on one in the field because he said the sun was in his eyes. Coach Micky Stewart exploded, and said 'for crying out loud Devon, why didn't you get round the other side of it?' And Devon said: 'Because it's millions of miles away...'")
