About Me

I play bass in the mighty Left Side Brain. Happy now?

My Interests

Hard rocking, slow then eventual rocking, quiet acoustic non-rocking, science, skepticism, films, books, comics, considering the non-meaning of life, fretting, frotting, flapping, Nintendo, having a nice cup of tea and a bit of a lie down, smoking, doom-mongering, drinking, daydreaming and cheese.

I'd like to meet:

A gaggle of spastic geese.
