Music: Live, recorded, attempting to play it...
Photography: Still trying to get to grips with my digital SLR. I take it along to as many of the gigs I attend as I can, with somewhat mixed results.
Internet: I know it's a black hole but it helps feed my music addiction. I've discovered so much good music and so many fabulous musicians online that just don't get mainstream media attention, and that alone justifies it for me. I can't sit here and just accept what the record labels choose to sell me when I know there's something much better on offer if I just take the time to look.
