This should be the best section, because I had to write it twice. With that kind of dedication, you'll have to understand I must like the internet. Well, I say like, but that would imply that I have some kind of see-sawing love/hate relationship aspect with the wib wab wob. I don't. I am radio sedative; all take no give. Bringing us onto music nicely. I write my own. It's home grown and inspired and I work hard to make it sound the way I want it. Commercially unviable but if you can't be proud of your work, who else is going to be? I like riding my BMX to the record shops on Saturdays and drinking a beer whilst chatting bullshit. I like cooking decent meals. I was a child of GCSE home economics. I love photography, black and whites and Lomo. I am also a backseat driver with my hand on the thigh of modern graphic design.
: people? I don't know. If you'd like to message, cool. I like chatting but don't bother if you don't think it will hold up. I hate the 'end of a net friendship' lull where people make excuses about being too busy rather than simply saying 'The novelty has worn off'Just, don't be too eager and don't be too weak, you know?Don't get me wrong, I love receiving mail from strangers. But I don't want to be sending e-mails that say 'why don't you write to me anymore' like an 80 year old widow who can't accept her son is married.
People who list endless bands are rubbish. No-one can listen to all those no-names at once. To re-iterate. I like break, electro, techno, thrash, punk, some soul, eighties hip-hop, jeez just kind of all kinds of the best stuff. If you need names of people I like then it is anything from; Pop Will Eat Itself to Jesus Jones, Pearl Jam to Stone Temple Pilots, Senser to Dog Eat Dog. I dig the electronica scene of Covenant and VNV nation. I love old Ministry. I dig Blackalicious and Aim. I like Beethoven for gods sake. One rule - no bullshit chart music. I'm not elitist, I just know the majority of people have no fucking idea about music. It confounds, because there are so many great artists out there that cannot seem to dent the charts. The Spice Girls good? Me no think so. This is a shit attitude but it is a desperate clutch at trying to work out why the world is wrong. It's through mainstream music.
I like Wushu and Japanese violence. I adore weirdness and depressing movies. I don't know why I feel this way, but I assume it is something to do with tragedy being easier to comprehend than Neo fighting a dozen rubber faced Agent Smiths. I like realism. Plus 10,000 indie movies cost the same as The Matrix, and it had Ted in it. Do you like violence? Do you like unecessary sex scenes? Do you like emotional pain? You are watching the same film as me, in the same bed as me, hiding under the same covers as me. You knows it.
I am called Michael Television. I don't watch Television.
