About Me

What to say? I am a 26 year old North Essex boy who loves his music. I used to write for drownedinsound.com and had from it's inception until August 06 and now write for makenoiseanddance.co.uk. I also run my own stage at the TMF Music Festival in Thurrock as well as the odd spot of gig promoting in North Essex.

My Interests

Music, football (especially my beloved Doncaster Rovers), opinion, wrestling (mainly US/UK indies)

I'd like to meet:

People: Amanda McKinnon, Ken Kennedy, Spud, Simon Dean, Tabatha Cash, Jonny Storm, Jodie Fleisch, Sarah Nixey, Christian Cage. Bands: Angelica, Midget, Stony Sleep, Dream City Film Club

Music:

Man... how the hell do I answer this? OK, first bands that spring to mind... Engerica, Trademark, Dive Dive, Bis, Piney Gir, Placebo, The D.A's, Angelica, Pitchshifter, A Genuine Freakshow, The Koreans, Le Reno Amps, Machine Head, Marga Man, Stony Sleep, Antihero, Dream City Film Club, *Teevo, Thomspon Twins... the list just goes on!

Movies:

'Slider: Goose who's butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.'Transformers: The Movie, Shrek, Battle Royale, Monsters Inc, The Monster Squad, Ski Patrol, Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Again, loads more I could add...Also, have masses of respect for the now sadly deceased Chris Penn especially for Best of the Best, Too Wong Foo... and, of course, his voice in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Television:

Monkey Dust, Match Of The Day, My Name Is Earl, WWE Raw & Smackdown as well as numerous other crap. Oh, and this is clearly THE best advert ever.. width="425" height="350" ..

Books:

Not books but something else...
Get your own Flash MP3 Player

Heroes:

Not so much heroes as inspirations. Martin Luther King, Malcolm-X, Sam of Wakefield band Rubbafish, Adam Spink.Also, this song...
willy wonka and the chocolate factory
