I'm Doug.
I'm a musician... my current bands are in my top friends.
I am a geek, and I fucking love it.
Fashion-wise, I walk the line between indie and emo, and I don't fucking care what any of you self-righteous cunts have to say about it.
I love Doctor Who because, whether you like it or not, it's amazing.
I enjoy drinking and smoking.
I have trouble saying the word "brilliant" properly.
I like cooking, and I'm well fucking good at it.
I'm pro-army, but I disagree with how it's used.
I enjoy insults and offensive humour.
I don't understand violence and I'm scared of fighting, so I'll probably run away. Give a shit.
I don't think there's anything wrong with loving Hollywood movies, stadium rock bands or commercial pop, as long as you appreciate the underground and the everything inbetween. Pick the music you like, not the stuff to wear like a fucking Scout badge.
I really like service stations.
I don't photograph well, so I like to see nice photos of myself.
I love Manchester City FC and will not be turned.
I need to sort out myself a proper career.
I love to eat.
I like swearing
I'm Doug
This is an old school video by one of my favourite bands ever, Far. The song is called Mother Mary. It's lovely.
"All I know is a door into the dark..." - Seamus Heaney.
"We find certain things about seeing puzzling, because we do not find the whole business of seeing puzzling enough." - Ludwig Wittgenstein.
"Before you play two notes learn how to play one note - and don't play one note unless you've got a reason to play it." - Mark Hollis.
"I love pop music to death..... Most great composers rely on folk music. I rely on pop music. I'm not saying I'm a great composer or that pop music is folk music. There's a whole endless thing going on out there. You make your little pond but if your pond isn't connected to the river, which isn't connected to an ocean, it's just going to dry up. It's just a little piss pool. I've lived too long to be happy in a pond." - Robert Wyatt.
"Splendid fellows... all of you." - Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.
Keep an eye on these guys, they put on great shows:
