I'd like to meet:
Myself when I was 16 and give my ass such an ungodly, medieval kicking.
Music:
Is good. Listen to it or you may end up watching TV. Imagine? I'd recommend some of this; 60's The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Iggy & The Stooges, The Beach Boys (post surfer period), The Electric Prunes, The 13th Floor Elevators, James Brown 70's Slade, David Bowie, T-Rex, MC5, Cream, The Fall, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Damned, 999, The Jam, Elvis Costello, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder (stop when you reach 1980 for your own good) 80's Echo & The Bunnymen (we're not worthy!), Julian Cope/Teardrop Explodes, Joy Division, The Fall, Tom Waites, The Smiths (the 80's were pretty depressing apart from this -thankyou Mrs Thatcher!) 90's The Twiggs, Happy Mondays/Black Grape, The Fall, Mano Negra, Cosmic Cat, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest Now Gomez, Manu Chao, Ustad Fateh Ali Khan, Arctic Monkeys, City Kids, You Mei You
Movies:
Moving pictures with sounds. Can be viewed at cinemas or at home on the telly. The Great Escape (on every Christmas), 24 Hour Party People, the Science of Sleep, Waking Life, Kes, Quadrophenia, Pulp Fiction all worthy of a viewing
Television:
It's that thing you watch when there's nothing interesting to do. Usually found in the living room. Worth watching for 4 reasons only. 1) Football 2) The Sopranos 3) Curb Your Enthusiasm 4) Frank Sidebottom on Channel M
Books:
Good, but necessitate the chopping down of trees which isn't good.Suggest you read what you can online, despite robbing authors of their royalties. Sorry guys, you don't need the cash that badly. NEVER read footballers autobiographies excepy Roy Keane's, which is stunning.
Heroes:
Anyone who works at a 24hr service station when I've got no skins left in the middle of the night. Jethro Curmudgeon, inventor of the shoelace. The Twiggs - Inventors of strange sounds and all round good fellers. George Best, the feet, the skill, the courage, the sideburns, the women, the wine, the genius of it all. Mark E Smith for wordsmanship. Little Frank for doing my washing. My Dad, Jim Charters for being the toughest mo-fo this side of the Rio Grande. Big Up Pops!
