About Me


Click Here To Listen To My TotallyRadio.com Show
“The first man in history to win the World’s Strongest Man competition and the Booker Prize in the same year, The James Kendall first made his name as a music journalist (DJmag, Dummy and others) before moving into editing Brighton going out bible, SOURCE. He has left a litter of erratically attended clubs across Brighton, London and Lincoln (Footspa, iLike, All Time Top 100, Chaos Rocks) yet still leaves a clashing of beats and genres across a variety of venues. The best place to catch his frankly lazy approach to DJing is The Sidewinder on every second Saturday. Agoraphobics would be better off checking out his internet radio show The Future Rock & Roll Show , a blend of angular indie and filthy dance music that the NME have since christened new rave.
He is currently close to identifying the human genome that causes the obsession with 80s pop music and lists his hobbies as twatting around on his stupidly overpowered Mac Pro, wearing vaguely foolish glasses and boasting about being the first British music journalist to interview James ‘DFA’ Murphy.”
From Debrett’s Who’s Who, 2007 Edition
