Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my opened ears, inciting and inviting me

About Me

I am still thinking about this bit. In the meantime, I have found that most of what follows is true...
Without music life would be a mistake
Nietzche
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
George Harrison
Music is in my soul
Brian Wilson
You can only measure fire by the things that it's burned
Kevin McDermott
The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask
The Green
Having principles without power is futile. But having power without principles is barren
Tony Blair
(yes, he really said that!)(not recently though)(obviously)

"What's so terrible about being drunk?"
"Ask a glass of water"
Douglas Adams, H2G2
No man is a failure who has friends
Clarence Oddbody, Angel 2nd Class
We sit here stranded but we're all doing our best to deny it
Bob Dylan
You'll catch your death if you go out dressed like that

My Interests

Pedantry. Food. Music. Knowing stuff. The hills and mountains round by here.

I'd like to meet:

... myself coming back
There are more photos and whatnot on my Bebo pages

Music:

The Beatles above all; shuffling ranking for 'Visions of Johanna', Nick Drake, George Harrison, Dylan, Brian Wilson and his current touring band; and then in no particular order... the Beach Boys, Wondermints, folk rock, power pop, a bit of psych now and again, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, the Police, ELO, the 60s and 70s, Jason Falkner, 'No Earthly Man' by Alasdair Roberts, Pink Floyd, Ravi Shankar, Mary Lou Lord, Gretsch guitars, The Uncle Devil Show (he's got Jimmy Cagney's swagger, but with Jimmy Saville's eyes), Ryan Adams, The Byrds, CSNY, The Band, Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony, Orff's Carmina Burana, Beck, 'Love On a Farm Boy's Wages', Super Furry Animals, SMiLE (you don't wanna know how many times, how much money, how far I travelled...), George Harrison, George Harrison, George Harrison (sic), Blur, Jellyfish (especially 'Russian Hill',) harmony pop, slide and steel guitar, music that yearns, banjoes, Johnny Greenwood, Ralph McTell, Ewan MacColl, 'Sloop John B' performed live by the BW Band, The Fab Faux playing The Beatles, The Overtures playing the 60s, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo rather less so (sorry Ring), long hair and Paisley shirts, Gomez, Sheryl Crow, Elvis Costello, Peter Gabriel, XTC, new old stuff my friends send me, hopefully lots of groovy stuff I'll find here now I'm myspaced, and some more Beatles

Movies:

Everything, now I have a trash pass - I mean Cineworld Unlimited card.

Television:

Gone right off telly. Except Eastenders. DVD boxsets, though are another matter.

Books:

I am reading "The End of Mr Y" because I was attracted by the edges of the pages, which are black. You could easily distract me from this by showing me shiney things, however.

Heroes:

No more heroes any more. But I'd like to be Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I grow up.
