I've Pierced My Foot On A Spike

About Me

I run Decade PR, I play the guitar in The Tupolev Ghost, I do a bit of music journalism for a few places under a different name and I promote the Long Division nights in Cambrigde. So, mainly music then.I also like watching football, ridiculous situations, and seeing my friends.

My Interests

I bumped into Rik Waller in a club once. I poked him in the stomach with my index finger. Obviously, I have other interests beyond poking Rik Waller in the stomach but, if I'm honest, not many.

I'd like to meet:

Out-of-work magicians. People who own the entire back catalogue of Guided By Voices. The twins off Fun House when they're drunk. Those who are in line to the throne but will never get there. Someone who knows how to get those Magic Eye pictures to work. Trisha Goddard on a hellish comedown. A dancing bear. Little Hercules.

Mount Me

Yesterday I had The Bronx on in my Eugeot. It was loud, I was mildly irresponsible and, as such, I drove into a kerb at over 50 mph by attempting to take a corner in 5th ...

Haircut

I cut it drastically. Not shaved or anything, I went and killed off the nits back when I was in primary school. However it is really quite short. You have been warned my friends, you ha...

Yes, I Would Like Your Scam

To counter-act the stress in my life I have decided that I should like to follow-up one of those "my mother was left in the far east and now we need an offshore account to shovel money into - $14...

Big And Clever

Wikipedia? A fine, fine site. So I thought I'd fuck it up a bit. Went to Mona Lisa's page and deleted most of the useful information only to replace it with "has a cracking pair of tits". Wikipedia...

Explorers

It was about half 3 in the morning and we took a route away from Market Square and up some stairs. We were on the 2nd level overlooking the church and Barclays etc. and then Toby hoisted himself over ...

5 Days In Words

I am tired. As tired as Terry Waite after five months next to that radiator. I hear he was quite fatigued. This week has been an eventful one. Let me try and recollect it from day to day. Monday: Went...

Life Assessment

I look at my waist and I see a little growth, I swallow and my throat hurts, I look at my skin and it's more than a little shaggy; I'm blaming my general over-indulgence this last month, and cons...
