About Me

Sleep. Breath. Eat. Play records. Pester other humans. Occasionally write. Fall over. Will this do? Oh, and I blog at Major Leaguer . If you like music related ramblings of a mad man then it's probably worth a looksee.

Rekkids? Yeah, I play 'em occasionally. Places that haven't kicked me out for drunken behaviour include...

Defectors Weld...Keston Lodge...The Lock Tavern...93 Feet East...Catch 22...Old Blue Last...The Social...Oakford Social Club...The Pleasure Unit...The Garage (Club Motherfucker)...Juno...Dream Bags & Jaguar Shoes...Sound....The Pool...Bar Music Hall...The Orwell (R.I.P)...Some ol' boat on the Thames (didn't fall overboard thankfully)....and my first wedding gig in a lovely country manor!

I also write articles and slanderous nonsense on websites, zines, and post-it notes.

Pretty crap at replying to messages, but do try my best, and will only accept friend requests from bands if I like 'em. Those that use triangle and wah-wah pedals though will be favourably looked upon.

If you want to add me as a friend, don't just send a blind request.... send a message first, ok? Nice nice
I knew it!

What Font Are You? (Standard Fonts)
Arial - You're pretty normal. That's certainly not a bad thing, as a lot of people like you.

My Interests

Writin', giggin', drinkin'.....all the usual things that keep me off the streets. Partial to the odd cup of tea and Tim Tam, otherwise I'll settle for a Jaffa Cake if that's all you have.If I'm not pushing David Gray to crazed German tourists, it's all about the records (writin' about them or playin' them).I also like the soccerball game. Go team go!

I'd like to meet:

So the new obsession is....

Heroes. After the demise of The OC, I needed a new serialised American 'drama' to obsess over, and I think Heroes is it. So much so that I'm planning to stay in on Friday night to watch the last four ...

Pancakes? Sure, it's a bunny, but c'mon....

So I watched the penultimate episode of The OC tonight. That's one hour of my life I'll never get back again. But I will watch next week's finale to get closure from my relationship with Newport. Sigh...

Putting out fire with gasoline

Wow. I got home from work late last night to be greeted with a surprise on the telebox. Yes, the 1982 remake of Cat People, Jacques Tornier's classic flick from 1942. However, this remake was so dread...

Kevin Sorbo? Wha?

Wow. I can't believe Ryan Atwood's dad is Hercules. And a bad dad at that. Last night's OC episode was an improvement on last weeks (alien raves in the desert? Oh jeez.), although not up to the standa...

The new Air album is just bloody lovely, and very much in the same style as Talkie Walkie. Beware though. The Jarvis cut isn't crash hot. But the Neil Hannon cut is ('Between Waking And Sleeping').Ep....
