all of the people can't be all right all of the time.

About Me

Originally from Heckmondwike but now living in Wakefield (via Leeds and Morley for varying amounts of time). Most of my time is wasted on skateboarding and everthing that entails, though I enjoy percussion, acoustic guitar noodlings, music, films, alcohol, books, drinking tea, falafel, traveling about, meeting new people, seeing new things, limited amounts of television, the Latino Quarter, Paris and Barcelona and many other random things.
It's not that interesting to be honest.

My Interests

Furniture, aluminium, shiny discs, sponge, wood. The finer things in life.

Black Emperor, Silver Mt Zion, I Am Kloot, Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith, Mystery Jets, Donovon, Captain Beyond, Wolf Parade, Arcade Fire, Wu Tang, Otis Redding, Oasis, Joanna Newsom, Cream, Kings of Leon, Iron Maiden, Interpol, Johnny Cash, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Final Fantasy, Joni Mitchell, Do Make Say Think, Gentlemans Pistols, Jinjah, Danger Doom, Cold War Kids, Beefheart, Cream, Life Without Buildings and thousands of other things that I can't really remember

Television:

Peep Show, Nathan Barley, Alan Partridge, Brass Eye, Phoenix Nights, Max and Paddy. Anything which involves Peter Kay or Chris Morris are worth watching.

Books:

"Cash" by Jonny Cash was a good read, "Dylan on Dylan" comes recommended, as does "No One Here Gets Out Alive" "Touching From A Distance" and "Crazy Diamond". Fucked up musicians lives tend to be quite enthralling on paper...
