Ducking under low doorways

About Me

Let's see...I'm living in Manchester, but was born in sunny Leeds! I like my music and socialising with cool, straight-up people. Besides my normal job I do some DJing on the side and have played a good few places in Manchester, including running the "Family Gathering" events at Font. I have an unfeasibly low voice and am also good at getting things down from high shelves.

My Interests

DJing, Music, basketball/gym, good films, taking photos , politics, and socialising (of course!)

I'd like to meet:

Interesting, funny, clever, sexy people - any of the above is fine, but the more the better!But not... bands just looking to promote, or people who just want to get their Friend count up and can't be bothered to send or respond to messages. Ta!

Music:

Hip-Hop! I listen to other stuff but Hip-Hop is my foundation; favourites are too many to name but include Wu, Gang Starr, Justus League, BCC... I also produce some beats and mixtapes under the name Air Adam so look out for those. I've grown into Dancehall in the past few years, and also listen everything from Aaliyah through to Zero 7 on my iPod!

Movies:

Traffic, Any Given Sunday, Scarface (Al Pacino version and original 30s version), old-school kung-fu, Office Space, Godfather Trilogy.

Television:

I don't watch that much TV but when I do... Desperate Housewives (yeah, I said it!), The Boondocks, Simpsons, Futurama, Pimp My Ride, Hollyoaks. And of course Fresh Prince repeats on Trouble.
PS - if you haven't seen Pocoyo yet, you really should :o)

Books:

I'll read pretty much anything within reach, but a few favourites are; Soul On Ice (Eldridge Cleaver) Monster (Sanyika Shakur) The Georgia Nicolson books (Louise Rennison)

My Blog

No deep pontifications or anything...

...but I do have some nice pics up at http://flickr.com/photos/airadam - just got a new camera so thought I'd sign up for an account and try to put some nice snaps up there! Peace, Adam

Christmas day post

RIP James Brown. Without this man modern music would be a lot less funky...I had a chance to see him live a couple of years back and even at over 70 he still had it; it was a real privilege to see. As...

Wii Wii Wii, all the way home!

A few days late, but my pre-ordered Wii arrived yesterday! Got it all plugged in after work and after spending a while making a giant-headed Mii version of myself, gave the famous Wii Sports a try.......

Where's my Wii? (cue sniggers)

...so I get a pre-order for a Wii in with Amazon on the 21st, and they tell me it'll be delivered on launch day. "Winner," I think, and set about planning a night in with some Chinese, a few mates and...

To a special person...we wish you a peaceful journey

Heard some awful news on Saturday...a friend died last week at the young age of 26. Couldn't believe it...I'd last seen her in a club just 2 weeks ago looking spritely and happy. No profound nuggets o...

Observation for the day...

The law about not using a mobile phone while driving doesn't apply to Audi owners. Didn't know that.

Five blades?

Did Freddy Kreuger get appointed president of Gillette when I wasn't looking? This new razor they've got is ridiculous, I couldn't believe it when I saw it in the shop the other week! Give it 10 years...
