Music, film, books, getting ink done, visiting museums (The British Museum ROCKS!!), drinkin', dancin', getting up, getting down, getting it on, shakin' my hips, stepping on the bad foot, putting my good foot forward, rockin' and rollin', shakin' it down, keeping it real. I watch a lot of bands. Most of them are rubbish but occasionally (only occasionally) you see a real gem and it makes all of it (getting up at 7.30 every morning to go to a job you hate, paying bills, tax, heartbreak, failure, rejection, depression, love, betrayal, pain, illness, death, disease, torture, famine) ALL OF IT worthwhile. I also like taking myself out for coffee, watching people and making up stories about them. Occasionally I like to sing. I like DJing lots. I'm getting really into London transport. It's like chess but with buses and trains. I like meeting new people and having drunken conversations. I wonder about things a lot. I'm hoping to go on a massive holiday (Thailand, Europe in a campervan) before I return to the North.
All my mates who live down south. Failing that, some hot momma to step on the bad foot, keep me sweet and right, all through the night, till morning light, that kind of thing.
My problem is I like too much music and care about it too much so crap makes me angry and / or upset. My favourite songs at the moment are:1. Born to run (Bruce Springsteen) 2. Be my baby (The Ronettes) 3. Ring of fire (Jonny Cash) 4. Time after time (Chet Baker) 5. Phillipe, Phillipe (Paris Motel) 6. Have love, will travel (The Sonics) 7. Helena (My Chemical Romance - I know, it's so embarassing but I can't help it. I promise I'll begin electro-shock therapy soon) 8. Mutant rock (The Meteors) 9. Baby love (The Supremes) 10. Trying to keep the customer satisfied (Simon & Garfunkel)I like pretty much all genres, though IO'm embarassed to say I know nothing about hip hop or dance music BUT I did once go to see Aphex Twin DJ and danced to gabba (some weird Dutch happy hardcore) all night. I like rock and roll best, then punk, then classic rock, then motown, soul, blues and jazz, then weird shit, then instrumental, then hardcore, then post-hardcore and post rock, then (I could go on...)
I love old Hollywood movies from the studio period. If it's not black and white, full of snappy dialogue, dangerous dames, hardboiled plots, liquor and legendary stars, then I'm probably not interested. Actually, that isn't totally true. I like a few other films as well. Maybe.
Is an amazing song by a band I can't quite remember...or a just a piece of shit for watching idiots on. Unless it's a Wildlife Documentary or, like, one of those programmes where the chubby survival dude makes, like, a car out of bamboo. Come on, he's ACE! He lives on the land and he's a fat fucker. He must be AMAZING at it!
Think I read one once. Seriously, I've got a thing for WS at the moment and I've just read The Winters Tale. It's a proper hit. Now I'm reading a book about why we think about sex all the time. Sweet.
