Like minded individuals with a love for music!!
I love garage/punk/surf, rockabilly, Jazz, funk, rock n roll, soul and 60's psychadelia, quite a pioneering time for music really!Syd Barrett has always been one of my favourite musicians, pity there was never more of it, but, hey ho, the stuff that is available is fantasticand...I've always felt that without Syd Barrett we'd never have this guy!Johnny Cash's music has always been a part of my life, it's only as I've been growing older that I've found an appreciation for it. So....
I like a good horror movie, that really puts the chills up you. The Haunting is a classic example of thisI've been viewing a lot of Asian horror films lately, and trying to do a bit of research for a forthcoming project I've been planning for a while. Anyway, I love this particular genre, the films tend to make you feel at peace one minute and scared to go to the loo a minute later. ringu is a great example of this, forget the crappy American remakes!I like a good epic movie as well, and lord of the Rings is a great example of thisI grew up with these films so they always deserve a place!

I'm interested in Russian history and literature, there's some truly classical pieces of work out there that truly surpass most of the stuff I've ever read by western eurpoean authorsBeat writers, mostly jack Kerouac have completely influences the way that I write my poems and short stories. Pick up any of beat stuff and see just how special it all isThe Napoleonic wars are something I've always been interested in, not sure why, but this period in history was truly magnificent. I suppose i'm romanticising it if I say it was a time of truly great adventures, but Napoleon was a true adventurer!I also enjoy reading about the occult, ancient history and autobiographies/biograhies
