Whisky and the Devil and the Witching Hour

About Me

Maybe its time to update this bit?I'm James. Some folks call me Yamez. Others prefer Jayums. One chap in particular likes to refer to me as James the Bastard. Others (mainly green haired people) are attempting other versions of Jayums ... they will receive a stern ticking off if they persist *nods*. I live with my awesome wife, Michelle in a crazy place called Riot Towers. It is never cheating if its at Riot Towers (but it is cheating if its Maggi). We are actually quite quiet people. We like to pretend we are frogs. Its sickeningly cute. I actually feel ill now thinking about it. However, we also work in the crazy world of rock'n'roll. I don't know why. I can't help it. Rock'n'roll is my life, that is to say its my life when I'm not at home pretending to be a frog. Its like this fantastic fantasy land where real life doesn't exist and its full of the craziest most awesome people in the world. I say awesome a lot. Alcohol is awesome. Sometimes I say awesome-O. Riot Promotions is awesome.I am quite happy for random folks to add me. However, please TALK. I like meeting new people. A lot. I also like the wonderful people that I already have in the world. Some of them are listed below. They are seriously AWESOME people. I know a lot of awesome people. They are all covered in awesomesauce. However, if you are in a band ... I will accept an add if I know and like you ... however I no longer accept adds from randoms ... feel free to go to the Riot Promotions website for that ... we'll add anyone there.Ribbit.

My Interests

Well ... rock'n'roll takes up a stunning amount of my time. If I'm not actually at a show the chances are that I am floating around listening to music and plotting my next show.THE PLEASURES - Rocking England!

I'd like to meet:

I used to have a whole list of famous types, I met most of them already. The others are dead. I've stopped getting star struck by anyone ... so right now ... I enjoy good company that doesn't involve pretension of any kind. The more "uncool" you are, the more I'll probably like you.THIS IS FUCKING HILARIOUS ... FRY AND LAURIE AT THEIR FINEST UNHINGED SELVES ...

Music:

I used to direct people to our music website ... but lets list a few of the bands that I fucking love ...Sign (my Icelandic brothers), Robin Black (the man who started it all), Disarm, The Pleasures, Drugdealer Cheerleader, Teenage Casket Company, Patchwork Grace, The Pleasures, Zen Motel, Billy Idol was the greatest gig I have ever seen, Trashlight Vision (RIP), Wednesday 13 (is a genius), Brides of Destruction (first album ONLY), The Erotics, Crash Kelly, Deadtime Stories, Renegade Playboys, New Generation Superstars, The Mission, Thin Lizzy, Free, Bad Company, New Model Army, The Only Ones, diP (oyah!), Evil Scarecrow, Illuminatus, King Adora, Vain, The High Society, The Quireboys, Dogs d'Amour, Megadeth, The Wildhearts, Murderdolls, Silverjet, Silvertide, The Glitterati .... oh and loads of fucking other great bands ... let's face it ... my favourite song is ALWAYS the last great one I heard ... right now its 29 x the pain ... it'll be something else in 5 minutes!

Movies:

I don't go to the cinema often. I like to sit in at Riot Towers and watch any of the following ... Withnail and I, Almost Famous, Still Crazy, Secretary, A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, Cruel Intentions, American Pie 1,2 & 3, Dude - Where's My Car ... and loads of others of course ... tho Withnail and I is my all time favourite and it amazes me when I meet someone that has never seen it ...

Television:

I used to say I didn't watch so very much TV, and that was true. Nowadays I've kinda got hooked on a few shows ... The lovely Michelle is a huge sci-fi/fantasy fan and as a result I've got hooked on Angel, Buffy, Medium, Dresden Files, Heroes, Bones and a few others. Without A Trace is cool. Frasier reminds me of hysterical English farcical plays. I use Time Team as therapy ... it makes me shout almost as much as Lord of the Rings did ...

Books:

I do plenty of reading. Being a healthy bloke type creature its of the manly historical fiction full of pillage, rapine and bloodshed. Wonderfully unsophisticated.

Heroes:

I stopped hero worship a long time ago.

My Blog
