I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm Ben, i'm a DJ, musician, and social satirist. I adore my friends, and am utterly sick of the relentless torrent of morons that parade before me each and every day. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------- That which was once what was, is now no longer only; it is but the first, and here am i now on the second. How many more for us there are, are over there, in vast, beautiful fields.

------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------Well i read a lot, hang out with my friends a lot, and i'm sick of morons. I love classic rpgs, sci-fi, like Blakes 7, I'm a giant Trekkie, i'm all too often found with my nose hidden behind a book, and, well...what do people expect you to type here anyway?!

My Interests

i like hanging out with my friends, reading, music, being a vital cog in a plan to bring about the fall of the greatest empires of man, playing my trumpet as humanity reaches out in trancendence of homo-sapiens stunted spirit, only to fall defeated back into savagery, reaping and sowing, conjugating verbs...i feel odd trying to flesh out my entire personality in a single paragraph!

Music:

don't worry, i didn't type all this out, in one go, it's just sort of grown over the years; it's here now mainly so that shit bands from eastern europe, usually called something like mortal torment, or dreams of eternal darkness, can send me cynical friend requests. --------------------- abyssic hate, agoraphobic nosebleed, amalgamated sons of rest, anathema, and none of them knew they were robots, angelo badalementi, antony & the johnsons, the apples, arcturus, anaal nathrakh, antimatter, at the gates, aquabats, belle and sebastian, bad religion, b.b. king, bert jansch, bjork, the black cats, black heart procession, bleach, blind willie mctell, boards of canada, bob dylan, bonnie "prince" billy, boris, books, burzum, catch-it kebabs, catharsis, carparthian forest, cancer conspiracy, charles mingus, children of bodom, carcass, circulus, the clash, commit suicide, converge, cryptopsy, cubic space division, the cure, cult of luna, the cursed, danny cavanagh, darkest hour, darkthrone, daylight dies, david thomas brougton, dismember, django reinhardt, dodheimsgard, dragonforce, drugstore, doom, do make say think, duncan patterson, dugong, dying fetus, earth, echo and the bunnymen, edenbridge, electric wizard, eminem, emperor, emmy the great, endstand, endvra, engelstpus, eric bibb, esoteric, eternal tears of sorrow, eva cassidy, evoken, explosions in the sky, fairport convention, fellow project, fellow solo, fields of the nephilim, fragilehollow, the flaming lips, fleetwood mac, gackt, the gathering, gay for johnny depp, the grateful dead, green carnation, greenday, grief, grieg, the goblins, godspeed you black emperor, i love you but i've chosen darkness, imodiom, iron maiden, isaac albeniz, jedi mind tricks, john gorka, the kevorkian solution, john coltrane, john zorn, johnny cash, joni mitchell, katatonia, keb mo, khaled, kelly joe phelps, khanate, killing miranda, kimya dawson, lacrimas profundre, lacrimas, leadbelly, leonard cohen, liquefied skeleton, lustmord, mahavishnu orchestra, malice mizer, manifesto jukebox, mariah muldaur, mayhem, megadeth, melvins, merzbow, melt-banana, mike patton, maria muldaur, miles davis, the mingers, the mountain goats, mohammed rafi, mortiis, mogwai, mozart, mississippi john hurt, mum, mustafa sandal, mutilation, my dying bride, napalm death, neurosis, neutral milk hotel, nina simone, nobuo uematsu, olivia tremor control, ornette coleman, paco de lucia, pagainini, the paper chase, palace, palace brothers, paradise lost, peter dolving, p!ano, pink floyd, pj harvey, rachels, random hand, ravi shankar, red stars parade, reel big fish, robert johnson, robochrist, roots manuva, segovia, sentenced, stratovarius, sigh, the shins, sonata artica, sonic youth, sons of otis, skepticism, sigur ros, silencer, silver mt. zion, skip james, sleep, sofa pirates, son house, spooky tooth, streetlight manifesto, subarachnoid space, sun ra, sunny day real estate, sunn O))), taj mahal, thrones, thorrs hammer, the breeders, the foreboding, the haunted, the illuminati 3, the moldy peaches, the nothing, the pixies, the smiths, thine, thrones, swans, tom hatred, tom waits, tori amos, warhorse, ulver, unleashed, winds, vampire division, velvet underground, virgin black, wagner, wil oldham, william shatner, xasthur, zyklon,

Movies:

suicide club, urotsukidoji, happiness of the katakuris, cutie-honey, akira, ranma 1/2, blood the last vampire, star trek, haibane renmei, girl interrupted (yeah, it's cool!), visitor q, audition, drop dead fred, versus, tilsamans (together), oh, loads of stuff.

Television:

i don't actually like watching television that much, i tend to just get it on dvd. at least then i can pause it for another cup of tea.star trek, mostly ds9, and the next generation, blakes 7, old dr. who (but of course), i'm really into serial experiments lain at the mo too. house, family guy, american gothic, monty python, big train, south park. Twin Peaks is outrageously amazing, along with most things involving Chris Morris in fact. But not the i.t. crowd... Oh and I love House at the moment too.

Books:

rendezvous with rama are probably my favourite books ever, also the edgar allen poe stories, cordwainer smith, and anton chekov, against the fall of night, cities in flight, anything by arthur c. clarke in fact, city and the stars, star maker, and last and first men. olaf stapledon is fantastic when i'm in the mood for weird epic philosophical tomes about the evolution of man. i have a strange love of ben elton too. And nikolai gogol, in fact. and kafka.
