creating music, listening to music, recording music, practising music, dancing to music - am I sounding obsessive yet ? Well there's also natural therapies & natural cosmetic making - just let me know what you're looking for & I'll whip something up for you, drinking beer with my friends - they are AWESOME !!! Spending an afternoon in my garden, getting snuggly with my fuzz ball cat, swimming in the ocean but making sure I have sunscreen on, driving on a freeway towards a massive storm, travelling - anywhere, anytime, via any mode of transport, meeting new & interesting people - I love to hear what others have to say cos you will always learn something ...
the special ones ...
I LOVE MUSIC !!! I dig breaks and beats, blues and roots, funk and soul, hip, trip and hop, rock and roll, electronic and new wave, house and hard, dub and reggae ... the only things I'm not totally sold on are full on death metal and whinging-ass country. A few of my most favourite would be Lamb, Fat Freddys Drop, Everything But The Girl, Jane's Addiction, Air, Moloko, Gotye, Sia, Salmonella Dub, Muse, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Gnarls Barkley, Pendulum, Roni Size, The Knife, MIA, Bjork, Chemical Brothers, Plump Djs, Holly Throsby, Jeff Buckley, Finley Quaye, Portishead, Massive Attack, Angus & Julia Stone, Halogen, Decoder Ring, Led Zeppelin, The Cure, Queens of the Stoneage, Xavier Rudd, Gomez, The Presets ... I'll stop now before this takes up the entire page. But I will mention my friends bands that I find inspiration from in so many different ways - Kobra Kai, National Pornographic, Evan Alexander Band, Chasing Gravity, Nebo, Hey Da Vinci, Ryan Hazell & the old skool kids - Mekonics & Paw No Maw plus all the rest.Here's a few of songs I'd like to share ... Gabriel by Lamb ... heavenly Wandering Eye - Fat Freddy's Drop .. get's you grooving Paper Aeroplane by Angus & Julia Stone ... gives me goosebumps
