About Me

I'm Sarah. I'm a girl. I DJ. I've been in the same place too long and it's time to move. Preferably back to the UK...
I adore music. It's my job, my hobby...I just love it.
I like wearing flip flops.
I'm too much of a hippie to be a proper indie-trendy.
I prefer vinyl to CDs but it's just not convenient enough.
I adore fashion and have fantastic taste, the problem being that my taste will not work very well on myself until I shrink more. Here's to another new year's resolution...
My favorite toy in the world is those paddle ball thingies, with the ball on the stretchy string and the paddle, and you hit it and it bounces back. They're fantastic.
I like being goofy. Goofy is good.
I like people. I like to listen.
I like to talk a lot, too, though.
I am cool.
I have a bizarre crush on Steve Coogan. And Bob Saget lately, too... Hmm.

That's about it, I think.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Music. DJing. Being an AnRsehole. Fashion. Flipflops. Gold. Rock & Roll. Jack Daniels, Sambucca, and Carling Extra Cold for Â£1.50 a pint. Boys who dress like Dior fashion models. Muppets. Paddleballs. God. People. Life. Music, music, music. The hat that Ducky wears in Pretty in Pink. Vinyl. Steve Zissou. Helping make good bands get famous. Playing good music people can't help but keep dancing to all night long. I love getting indie kids to shake their groove things. Or maybe at least hop around stupidly to superb music. And so on...

I'd like to meet:

Phil Spector, Curt Boettcher, Bob Moog, Little Steven, a jackpot lottery ticket I just happen to come across in the street, a giant original Moog Synthesizer that maybe the Moody Blues or Yes used on tour, and a Mellotron.

Music:

I like tons of music. Indie, electro, punk, funk, psychedelic, garage rock, freakbeat, soul, early blues... I love Little Steven's Underground Garage on Sunday nights. Great radio show.

What I've been listening to most the last little while... Big Mama Thornton, Ella & The Duke, Left Banke, Blind Faith, Uriah Heep, West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Electric Prunes, Baaad Company, Sir Douglas Quintet, Sagittarius, The Guess Who, CCR, Canned Heat, that new Beatle's "Love" album (it's really great), Jeff Beck, Mothers of Invention, Steve Miller Band, Chocolate Watchband, Standells, Boston (I seriously adore Boston), The Fugs, The Millenium, Stax stuff, Rhino compilation boxsets, The Associaton, Blues Magoos, loads & loads & loads of various 60's garage rock/freakbeat/psych/soul/etc. that I can't be bothered to name, Klaxons, whatever, and so on. I can't get enough early blues/soul/rock'n'roll.

Movies:

American Graffiti, The Departed, The Prestige, stuff by John Hughes and Wes Anderson, surprised by Dreamgirls...

Some favorites... All Muppets movies, The Big Lebowski, High Fidelity, Superman, Ghostbusters, V for Vendetta, Down Periscope, Sleepless in Seattle, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Gidget, Mary Poppins, Hook, and so on. LOADS.

Television:

Hmm... Boston Legal, That 70s Show, The Cosby Show, The Office (UK and USA), Gilmore Girls, The Daily Show, Letterman, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Alan Partridge, SNL. I love the History Channel, too. But I hate it when they have something on that's not really history, like, how this fancy shmancy rollercoaster was made or something.

Books:

I never know what I'll like. I've still got to finish On the Road... Then who knows.

Heroes:

My parents. And people who fit the "heroin chic" category, without actually taking the smack.

My Blog

The right side of the bed.

Apparently, that's where I woke up this morning. Not "right" as in left/right, right as in correct. I went to bed before 11 last night feeling like my stomach was about to corrode its way ...

Grey skies and cold weather and wind, oh my.

I love fall. I love it when it's a bit grey, cold, and windy. Still light enough to need sunglasses, but overcast. Just cold enough for a jacket or sweater & a cool scarf. ...

I hate that there's a blog section.

Do I have to write in it? Do I? Do I seem more interesting if I do? What do I say? See, I hate it when people seem like moaney bastards & stuff on these things. But, ...

The seldom heard, but much feared, Grandma burn.

Ah yes, indeed. The seldom heard, but much feared, Grandma Burn. I was watching That 70's Show the other night when they brought up that very thing, reminiscing about all of my memorable G...

Records, records, records. 45's, actually.

There's this great little collectibles/pawn shop a few doors down from the theatre where I work and it's great. There's loads of interesting little things in there. Old magazines, old jewe...

Muppets, classic rock, and a bloody toe. Today is a good day.

Today really is a good day. The radio is treating me well. It's a rainy day, and they keep playing music that just makes you wanna sit back satisfyingly, maybe on a giant bean bag, and wat...

Wolves, Idols, Peaches, and Clors.

I love Steppenwolf. There's just certain songs that when you hear them, they instantly put a bit of swagger in your step. You get a smirk on your face and you feel 3 notches cooler. ...

I'm Twista, bitch.

Yeah, that's right. I said it. Last night Twista was at the State Theatre, and I must say... I have never seen so many phat grillz. I'm a new woman. If I'm ever exceeding...

Loretta Lynn and the Poopy Woman.

So, I was at work today. There was a Loretta Lynn concert here about 2 years ago. June 11, 2004 was the precise date, in fact. She cancelled, rescheduled for December 2004, and cance...

It is possible for someone to believe in something and not live up to it...

That's all there is to my post, really. Thank you, House on FOX, for your perfectly timed insight popping out of the TV this evening just for me. I'm not sure if it is okay for someone to ...
