I am here for Friends

About Me

Writer. Read some of my latest stuff at Suite101.com . Editor. Producer. Music Obsessive. Former "Groupie" (ish, and sorta, but not really). Flirt. Pop-Culture Fanatic. Urban Designer Toy Collector. Media Whore. Social Media Sucker. Traveller. Anglophile. Chameleon. Bull in a China Shop. Loyal. Mental. Chatty. Partyer. Debauched.
NOTE: Sorry, not to sound big-headed or rammed full of myself but I'm not looking for a date, or a new "special friend", thanks! :-)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Any indie/rock/techno/electro musicians/bands who make interesting sounds, have charisma and character, know how to play live, think I'd like their stuff and/or are coming to Vancouver. I'm a music writer and I'm keen to hear more stuff, but I don't like country, most R&B/Hip-Hop (though I dig cool/odd rap) or mainstream pop.

Mike Doughty -

I'll let Mike Doughty's blog speak for itself:"Bex Schwartz directed this video for "Fort Hood." We made it together, without the record company, because we wanted to get a message out there, about yo...
