A taste of trust, and a lust for longing

About Me

My previous comment was written whilst in a foul mood, and was pretentious and bile filled. Hence I shall have to write another one, as the former entry really wasn't doing me any favours. Equally predictably, I can't be bothered to do this at present, so this will have to suffice until I can think of something better. GazC x

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fellow free-spirits, photographers who'd like to shoot me, musicians, artists, poets, glam kids, androgynous beauties, people with style, dealers, glitter whores, eyeliner junkies, people who are well read, philosophers.

Music:

Acid house, romantic rock, northern soul, gothic electro, dark techno, anything that sounds sleazy, abstract beats, Krautrock, rock and roll (as in the real thing, black American 50s rhythm n blues and its derivatives, not spandex metal), ambient, drum n bass, impressionist turn of the century French music, anyone who is able to incorporate surrealism into music, gamelan music of all kinds, any music that connects lyrically and has something worthwhile and interesting to say, be it political or personal, other genres as yet unnamed that I can't be bothered to think about, and most importantly, music that sounds like I look. IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER (and off the top of my head, so probably missing lots of people): Villette, Mansun, Manic Street Preachers, David Bowie, Prince, Tangerine Dream, Edgar Froese, Leftfield, Suede, Martyn Joseph, The White Stripes, Boy George, Pete Tong, John Digweed, Sasha, Jeff Mills, Jesper Dahlback, Ivan Smagghe, Black Strobe, Carl Craig, Nebraska, Bloc Party, Coldplay, The Beatles, Idlewild, Ooberman, David Seaman, Yes, Pink Floyd, Donovan, Deuce, William Orbit, Madonna, Korn, Nirvana, U2, Brian Eno, Sigur Ros, M-People, Erick Morrillo, Underworld, Faithless, I:Cube, Corporation:Blend, Hefner, Pulp, Blur, My Vitriol, King Adora, Bach, Debussy, Ravel, Satie, Les Six, Paul Van Dyk, Danny Tenaglia, Greg Vickers, James Zabiela, Slipmatt, Hixxy, Sharkey, Dougal, Hyper, Meat Katie, John Kelly, The Orb, Orbital, The Chemical Brothers, Radiohead, Charlie Brown, Ritchie Hawtin, Erol Alkan, The Strokes, The Long Blondes, Art Brut, New Order, Joy Division, T-Rex, Supertramp, Simon Price, Laurent Garnier, David Ryder-Prangley, The Smiths, John Peel, The Rakes, The Departure, I can't be bothered to go on, sorry, the list really is endless, especially when you consider bands/producers who've made one amazing 7"/12" and changed my life, in fact, this list is dedicated to these artists, even though they do not appear in it.

Movies:

Blade Runner, Wong Kar-Wai, Lars Von Trier, Jan Svankmeyer, Peter Greenaway, Stanley Kubrick, the Tim Burton Batman films. Lots of other directors too.

Television:

A failed medium, so little television lives up to the potential that sound and the moving image combined should generate.

Books:

Albert Camus, St John, Haruki Murakami, Hunter S Thompson, William Burroughs, James Joyce, the Romantic poets (particularly Keats), William Blake. Lots more - I work in publishing.

Tilted portrait

Today I overslept for the first time in years. Life is closing in on me somewhat at the moment. I'm starting to feel paranoid, don't trust the motives of my own band/housemates, and am barely in touch...
