About Me

If i'm going to add you as a 'friend' you'll need to meet the following criteria.
1/ You need to be nice.
2/ You're in a band and I love your music and/or you love music with the same passion as me.
You see people on MySpace with 20,000 friends and I think - what's the point? It's just vanity. Who can keep track of so many people? I'm not being an arse, but you know - less is more?
(If your band contacts thousands and thousands of users then, yes, I may just go and listen to your music but if you've got 50,000 friends then you're music is gonna have to be pretty bloody good to get added.) I once joined a cult ( www.joinme.info ) and am still happily a member.
I'm in the process of starting a music website ( www.musicfanatic.co.uk )
Oh.. and did a fridge-magnet based quest. It went quite well.What i'd really like to do is to write some music, but hey - who wouldn't? I know a bunch of chords so you think i'd be able to do something, but nada. Zip. If anyone wants to help then bung me a mail.

Wicker

Why would anyone remake the 'Wicker Man' when the original was absolutely perfect in every way?
