Music:listening to it. All of it. I have an unhealthy interest in nuclear bunkers and visiting them: Been smelling the Protect and Survive booklet quite a lot recently. Kelvedon Hatch has to be seen to be believed! Go there. A brilliant 'All weather attraction'. Jeezus! Drinking, swearing, plastering, and pulling pints, pop quizzes, pub quizzes and crosswords-not the verbal variety. Have been known to get away with playing the odd 'dj' set (Cds only-nothing clever), mainly with the currently defunct Rocker's Disco. Scrapping on the decks, getting barred from me own gigs, and listening to 'Idiotta'. Rock and roll stupidity. Talking shit.
Bike-tamperers/thieves, Swings fans, other drinkers and swearers, window divers, potential Bunker visitors(car required). Spitting optional, but not advised.
Big riffs and stupid noises. Namely, The Fall, 'Head (Radio and Motor), Zeppelin, Fugazi/Evens, Shonen Knife, Gang of four, Breeders, Buzzcocks, Daniel Johnston, White Stripes, Beck, Rosalita, Pixies, Wire, Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, Deerhoof, loads of other bollocks, Tina Turner, Kat Stevens and Kenny Rogers,..you get the picture.
Pappillon! Duel, Terminator, Alien, anything with trucks, aliens, and/or robots, robotic alien trucks? Transformers? Grizzly Man, Wicker Man, Marathon Man, Rainman, Running Man? Favourite ever: Nuts in May: Big Mike Leigh fan. Ealing comedy: Lady Killers, Man In The White Suit, man.. and other British greats.
Good for throwing food at, I've found..especially Maltesers(for precise aim and a good noise) and cauliflower cheese(for a more satisfying, messy insult).
Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles(Edition 19), mainly music related biographies/ autobiographies. Black vinyl, White powder and Stoned, being a couple of my favourites. Done Bukowski an all that. No real time for fiction.
People who have let me soil their sofas/carpets over the last year or so-the end is in sight! Brian Blessed, Simon Lee Morgan( not the 'sidewinder'), M.E. Smith, Geldof(read the book), and Banksy. And local nutbar Lyndsey: The car and the cigar! Nuff said.
