If it's not Scottish, it's crap!

About Me

I hail from the west coast of Scotland. I play drums in a band: The Day I Snapped . We're rock punk, (as opposed to punk rock) and we now have an album out on Lockjaw Records which you can buy here .I live in a small seaside town with my two cats, Windsor and Belle.

My Interests

Playing drums and singing, reading, learning, talking, travel, walking, PS2 sports games, Rangers Football Club, movies, wine (mostly red), beer, cooking and eating good food, looking at boobies.

I'd like to meet:

I want to use myspace to keep in touch with people I know.

Music:

My favourite bands are Queen, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Anthrax, Foo Fighters, Adam and the Ants and Black Sabbath. I also love Billy Joel, Slayer, Descendents, All, Alkaline Trio, Corrosion Of Conformity, Samiam, Pixies, Audioslave, Alice In Chains, John Frusciante, David Bowie, PJ Harvey, Stone Temple Pilots, Motorhead, Soundgarden, Tori Amos, Bjork, Sense Field, Jerry Cantrell, Supertramp, Hot Water Music, Mars Volta, Portishead, early Elton John, Jimmy Eat World, Hundred Reasons, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Simon and Garfunkel, The Corries, Elvis Costello, early Goo Goo Dolls (although definitely not the shite they play now).

Movies:

Factotum, Dead Man's Shoes, Every Which Way But Loose, Any Which Way You Can (Right turn Clyde!), Orphans, My Name Is Joe, The Magdalene Sisters, Ghost World, Spun, American Splendor, It's a Wonderful Life, Magnolia, Se7en, Fight Club, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Sexy Beast, The War Zone, Nil By Mouth, American History X, Hapiness, Snatch, U-Turn, Being John Malcovich, Clerks, Dogma, Lilya Forever

Television:

I used to watch very little tv, but now I watch far too much! I like: Deadwood, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO rules!!), UKTV Food (especially Nigella!), Trailer Park Boys, The West Wing, Green Wing, Scrubs, Six Feet Under, Family Guy, King of the Hill, The Simpsons, Spin City, Northern Exposure, Seinfeld, South Park, Cops (I'm sooo white trash), Third Watch

Books:

I read voraciously. This list could be long. My favourite writer is Charles Bukowski. My favourite book is A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving. I like Scottish fiction, including: Iain Banks (not the sci-fi stuff though), Christopher Brookmyre, Alan Warner, David Deans, Alan Bissett, and James Kelman. Who else do I like? I already mentioned John Irving, there's Henry Rollins, Charles Dickens, T.C Boyle (well I like some of his stuff - for example The Road To Wellville is genius and yet A Friend Of The Earth is garbage, so be careful what you read!), David Baddiel, J.M Coetzee, Louis de Bernieres. I loved the book The Gospel According To Jesus Christ by Jose Saramago, but I read some more of his work and found it didn't come close. I sampled some Russian writers recently and enjoyed Cancer Ward by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and The Double by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I'm always looking for something new, so hit me with suggestions.

Heroes:

Clint Eastwood, Roger Talylor of Queen, Ally McCoist, John Frusciante, Bjork, Marvin Andrews.
