My Interests

OK so its just a marketing tool for Radio 1 but its a clever one

I'd like to meet:

I'd love interview/ review you so whether you're a tourist or from The Shire send me your press release

Music:

Yours. Send me some now!

Movies:

The Committments, The Harder They Come, Small Faces, Being John Malkovitch + Adaptation + Eternal Sunshine, Paul Is Dead, Hard Days Night & Help and I'm not some sort Beatles fanatic cos I don't like Magical Mystery Tour but I do have to add Yellow Submarine as that is how my parents met. At an Oxford University bootleg screening my mum had an argument with her boyfriend and went and sat on "the fittest bloke's" knee - seven years later that man became my father. Shorts: Six Shooter... Music vids: ...

Television:

Just cos I work in it doesn't mean I watch it. I'd rather be listening to The Selector, Xfm Xposure, Resonance, Zane Lowe, One Music, 6 Music... or at a gig. Actually youtube.com is good. And Ralfe Band on The Mighty Boosh!

Books:

Well reading materials anyway. The Stool Pigeon, DiS, Artrocker, FACT, The Fly, Filter, Full Moon Empty Sportsbag, Good For Nothing, Nightshift, Open View...

Heroes:

Lauren Laverne, J(R)P, Michael Eavis and indeed anyone who has the drive to put themselves through the hellish hard work that is running a festival just for the love. I also admire the madness of: Danny Wallace, Dave Gorman (though he gets a slap for being rude to Bruno), Tony Hawks, Andy , Jane Silver-Corren, that bloke wot swapped a paperclip for a house on ebay, George Weedon Goldsmith

An accidental adventure

To be read somewhat in the style of a "My New Year's Eve HELL" article in Take a Break magazine Who doesn't hate New Year's Eve? My main aim for 06/ 07 was to get the hell outta london to avoid the "...

Ah, the sweet smell of wet dog on a Monday

So here I am again, the Television Centre Doughnut, clad in a fake fur animal suit that stinks like other people's gym kits. The difference this time? I'm upright and there ain't nobody's arse in my f...

arse update

I'm hot, I'm tired, I'm covered in fake fur and I can't see where hell I'm going. I've been running round the doughnut at Television Centre for two hours whilst bent double and with my face cheeks bur...

Professional arse

Further to the bit about CBBC in my previous post and having been tricked into dressing up as the back end of a reindeer today I got thinking about my career as an arse. Amelia Pooey Sears. Its all ab...
