About Me


Had a tonne of info here that made me look wildly self indulgent. Now its all gone. Time to re-brand.
DO occasionally spin some tunes now and again. Keep an eye on the gig list. I'm so sick of stand up comedians, time to get those records spinning again.

Some general influences in society that have always been prevalent in my humour are: public psychopaths, extreme sexual manipulation, unluckyness / down right stupidity, people (especially women) when they go arse over tit for no reason at all in the street, public humiliation, ridiculous nuances, anarchic conversational habits and to top it all off my own head - bizarre though this might sound I treasure the ideas and thoughts that only I can muster. I'm not going to tell you any of them though because you'll all just walk away and gas yourselves.
