About Me

38 year old Gemini - still obsessed with pop music. Used to want to be a 2000AD comic strip artist when I was younger but beer and girls got in the way of that little pipe dream. When I grow up I may write a thriller if I can sit down for long enough. Have travelled the world extensively inbetween some pretty soul destroying jobs - my next destination will hopefully be the planet Skaro. Best country I've visited so far was Japan and I still long to travel. Another passion is seeing live music - big electro bands, little electro bands. I can't stand acoustic music - it's for people with slippers who smell. When I grow up - I'm not too sure what I want to be - love my spare time and really do resent being forced into doing mudane things. I try not to think about the banality of normality. I mess around with an electronic music website called Electronically Yours. We often give away ultra cool remixes specially produced by some very talented people such as EMP. Forthcoming mixes include tracks by Human League, Heaven 17 and the mighty Depeche Mode. For up to date electro news, click on e l e c t r o n i c a l l y y o u r s
