About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorBy day and by night I work at a music venue. I love it more than I can say. I have scribbled here and here , and sometimes I do this as well. I have exhibited here and here . Sometimes I make clothes, but only for me. I sleep little, I like terrible food, am more open-minded than some people and less open-minded than I'd like to be.If you're in a band, I'll listen to your stuff but I won't add you unless I know or really like you. If you add me and we don't already know each other, please
message me beforehand
and introduce yourself. Otherwise I shan't add you.

And stop bloody spamming my page, all of you. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

No, seriously. Stop it.

She's sad, she said

I am a little sad about things that don't really matter.Last night I dreamt that Lily Allen confided in me about her debt problems. In my head she has a green kitchen.

Ox's cover

of Cheap Trick's 'Surrender' is exquisite. Melancholy in that lazy, dazed, 'what just happened?' kind of way. They sent me the finished version of their record and it's very gorgeous. Bits of it are l...

Nights out, nights in.

My Saturday did not go as planned.

Instead of watching Tiny Masters of Today at Fopp and scouring Covent Garden for trousers I spent the afternoon in A&E. My foot apparently might have a 'stress fracture'. Translation: it hurts like a ...
