'Ave It!

About Me

eccentric bastard. cynic, pessimist; big-time movie and music buff with a very strong hatred of most people under 30 including: scenesters/hipsters/indie kids/shorditch wankers/students. Bollocks to anyone who likes the strokes, libertines, franz ferdinand, white stripes, yeah yeah yeahs, hot hot heat, killers or whatever other shit NME told you to like, and bollocks to you if you don't know anything about music from before you were born (it's not an excuse!). I pretty much hate most music of the last 20 years and expect to hear me rant a lot about that and my problems with 'the youth of today'. Oh, and I love northern soul, collecting records and going to northern soul dos; nothing beats going to an allnighter and dancing to top tunes til 8 in the morning, 'ave it!
