About Me

What would you like to know?
I've decided that most of my profile is out of date so I'm removing quite a bit until I have time to truly reflect my current tastes, etc. If you really want to know what my favourite book, movie, song, band or anything else is then drop me an email.

My Interests

I don't want to be interested just to be interesting.
I spend time reading (maybe to make me more interesting) and exploring London... I've not been here too long and there's a hell of a lot to see.

I'd like to meet:

Good question.
I'd like to meet anyone who wants to meet me... that's always a good start.

Music:

Right now I'm probably listening to either Paris Motel, She Wants Revenge, Editors or whatever random song my iPod happens to have decided it wanted to play next.
Here's a bit of a list in almost alphabetical order of some bands that I quite enjoy...Adorable, A-Ha, Air, Autechre, Chet Baker, Bauhaus, The Beatles (they have something for everyone), Bjork, Black, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC), Bloc Party , Blondie, Blur, Bonobo, Bowie, The Bravery , Ian Brown, The Buzzcocks, Caesars, Johnny Cash, Catherine Wheel, The Chameleons, The Charlatons, The Chemical Brothers, The Church, The Clash, Concrete Blonde, Elvis Costello, Cranes, Crowded House, The Cult (guilty pleasure), The Cure , Curve , Dead Kennedys, Delerium, Depeche Mode, Devo, Division of Laura Lee, Doves, Duran Duran, Echobelly, Echo & the Bunnymen , Editors , Electrafixion, Electronic, Failure, The Faint, Filter, Neil Finn, Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, The Futureheads, The Glove, Gus Gus, Hard-Fi , Havana 3am, Hot Hot Heat , Idlewild, Interpol , Infighter ,Chris Isaak, The Jam, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Joy Division, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, Kent, The Killers, Killing Joke, Kraftwork, Ladytron , Lamb, Lloyd Cole, Love & Rockets, Lush, M83, Madison Strays , Massive Attack, Matinee Club/The Modern , Metric, Monaco, Moodswings, Motley Crue, New Order, NIN, No Means No, Ride, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, Oingo Boingo (good sense of humour), Paris Motel , PIL, Pixies, Plimsouls, PWEI, The Police, The Psychedelic Furs, old REM, Radiohead, The Raveonettes , Ride, Scarling , Sex Pistols, Shed Seven, Sheep on Drugs, Sigur Ros, Siouxsie, Sloan, The Smiths, Social Distortion, Sonic Youth, Stereolab, Stereophonics, Stone Roses, The Stranglers, Sugarcubes, Talking Heads, Terranova, The The, U2, Vast, theviolentdrag , The Who, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, most new wave, 80s, etc…
You probably don’t care what I like anyway… musical taste is one of those great subjective things in life.

Movies:

Quadrophenia, 1984, Kill Bill, The Wedding Singer, Star Wars (yes I'm a nerd), 24 Hour Party People, Lost in Translation, Being John Malkovich, John Cusack movies, 80s teen movies, anything that happens to suit my mood when I watch it, and movies with good soundtracks can always hold my attention.

Television:

I watch silly sitcoms (Scrubs, That 70s Show, etc), bad cartoons (Southpark, Simpsons, Futurama) and Football (soccer for those in North America).

Books:

Can't begin to list them here.
So much to read... so little time.

Heroes:

Don't think I have any.
