About Me

I tried to hold off from this MySpace stuff for ages, while dave told me how great it was. Now I've drank too much gin and it all happened so quickly....
ah well, I guess it was going to happen anyways...
I drink too much gin. I play guitar in Jedi Jane. I'm also learning how to play the accordion. Sorry for being so boring.
***If you're a band and you're trying to add me, please send me a message first. It's just a nice thing to do. Be nice.***a class="o"

My Interests

JEDIJANE SLAM! dancers unite!

I'd like to meet:

someone who has a lot of gin. I shall steal their gin and then run away. Or a girl who owns a Fender Jazzmaster. That would be cool.

Music:

Lots of bands but mostly...

Right now I'm mostly listening to
"In Colour" and "the Concretes" by the Concretes, "Writer's Block" By Peter Bjorn and John, "Life's Too Good" By Sugarcubes, and anything by Sonic Youth.

TOP 5 FAVOURITE ALBUMS -

  • Slint - Spiderland /
  • My Bloody Valentine - Loveless /
  • Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come /
  • ...And you will know us by the trail of dead - Source Tags And Codes /
  • Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures /

    • That was pointless but what the hey.

    Movies:

    Withnail and I... "two large gins and two pints of cider - ice in the cider". Story of my life.

    Television:

    MIGHTY BOOSH! MIGHTY BOOOOOOOOSH!

    Books:

    The Catcher in the Rye, and anything by Haruki Murakami or Kurt Vonnegut's usually a winner for me.

    Heroes:

    Swedish people, people with gin. Swedish people with gin?
    apart from that,
    Kevin Shields, Thurston Moore, Steve Albini, Robert Smith, and lots of other indie types with guitars.
    And Angie, the official M.O.K!

    thinking about something I read.
