About Me

I have no fantasy. I don't know the alphabet. Most of my dreams I don't remember when waking up, and most of reality I forget. I left London and Brussels for the small village of Nederokkerzeel to move in with my unbelievably lovely www.myspace.com/natjegeradin. My interests are music (guitars and vocals/backing vocals in Mauz www.myspace.com/mauzmusic; writing reviews for Move-X TV www.myspace.com/movextv) and (anthropology of) consciousness. In my humble opinion the best band on the planet is still Radiohead, closely followed by the Sexy Butchers, the great Mauro Pawlowski, Spoon, Castanets, Midlake, The Strokes, Sonic Youth, Office Supply... Belgian bands: Nona Mez, Tomm E. Gunn, Millionaire, Larsson, Superlux and Sukilove, check 'm out!
