About Me

If you don't know me, lucky you. I'm a metal fan(89%) who plays bass and screams into a microphone for Nailed (or go to www.extremebrutaldeathmetal.com ). Been playing bass for nigh on 8 years now, and occasionally I put blogs up telling you how to play the instrument if you can be arsed reading them. In some blogs I rant about a number of subjects which you hold misguided opinions about, and in my gracious attempt to set you straight you should find solace. I don't drink, smoke, take drugs or anything else that's at all interesting. However, after losing a bet about America being too racist to elect Obama, I now drink Kopparberg cider when I am in a good mood (Bulmer's is also acceptable) and have nearly gotten pissed a couple of times after nearly 8 years of sobriety. The reason for my initial vow of alcoholic abstinence is a black tale that is hilarious to pretty much everyone but me.
I graduated from Salford University with a 2:1 in Popular Music & Recording, which entailed jeopardising a tinpot lecturer's teaching career. I like the cinema, MMA, gaming, doing sound, recording, watching metal gigs, collecting copious amounts of CD's and Katarzyna. She is fantastic.
I train in Muay Thai, Judo and MMA, and hit the weights about three times a week. I also like playing bass, talking about playing bass, telling people about playing bass, talking about bass gear, looking at bass gear, fixing basses, setting basses up, talking about bass amps and figuring out how to afford bass gear.I'm also a Scorpio. Fuck MySpace's astrology thing.
