About Me

Another bi-annual update...I don't use this very often at all, only being kept in case I need to get hold of difficult people who can only be contacted via myspace.
I've got my head down preparing a Masters in History, and still being kept happy with my music - lots of listening to it, a fair bit of writing about it, and a bit of playing it to myself. When I can I jam with my komrade Chris and we do good blues together, but we're losers who let full-time work get in the way of things.
Still happily together with my sweet leaf Vicki. Local bitches were too much a pain in the ass, travelling across the world to a girl who treats her man right feels natural after all the crap. "You mean, if I'm gonna date you, I've got to go to San Francisco?". Twas a no-brainer and I've been peaceful and content with myself ever since.
That is all, GO AWAY!!!
"Some people reckoned up all King Harald's [King of Norway] great achievements, and said that nothing would be too difficult for him. But there were others who said that England would be very hard to conquer. It was very populous and the warriors who were known as the king's Housecarls were so valiant, that any one of them was worth two of the best in King Harald's army".
Snorri Sturluson (1178-1241) - medieval Norwegian writer

WACKEN BABY!!!!

So, back from Wacken...the verdict? Acceptable, but not good. ;-) But, seriously folks...good stuff. Definately a 'testing the water' affair, but worth it. Scorpions were mindblowing, that show alone ...
