Vintage guitars & amplifiers, pre-1980 Neve consoles and tube microphones-ok ok, I'm a boffin, however fishing from a small boat in the Marlborough sounds and back yard cricket also make me very happy. I'm also somewhat politically minded, left leaning and fundamentally liberal. Obviously, music and the evil conservative right don't mix.
Someone who has a mint 1958 sunburst Les Paul under their bed and is willing to see it go to a good home where it will be cherished properly. Oh, and being male, straight and single, a single, straight female. Quite simple really.
It's good for you. I feel privileged to be a part of the process. My chosen career path involves listening to the same piece of music over and over again. I know some songs very well indeed. Sometimes I still like them at the end of the process, I think this means it's good. It's also really cool when you hear a tune that you worked on playing on the radio or TV
I've probably watched This Is Spinal Tap more than any other film. It is a masterpiece of dry, subtle humour, and it's made by Americans, which is even more of a feat! Stupid Hollywood blockbuster films just make me annoyed, I'll only ever watch them if they make it to TV.
The four channels up the end of the Sky remote starting at 70, and sometimes channels 30-33. There are so many documentaries about war, flying and massive engineering feats and I am determined to watch them all.
If it has pictures of WWII fighter planes, studio interiors or guitars I'll probably pick it up myself. I like novels, but it usually involves a friend handing me something recently read and enjoyed. I tend to stumble across books rather than actively seek them out.
