About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Hi, Primarily I set up a MySpace account to allow me to get closer to the bands I love. Early notification of tours, the chance to hear unreleased material and, via blog, what they are up to, what their thought are etc. I have however found via rapidly increasing networks new music that I would never have previously found or even considered listening to being the musical snob that I am!!!!
Of course it’s great to meet new people with similar interests on the way as well as keep contact with mates from a previous life. There is a little about me below, but not to much as I don’t want to give th game away!!!!
CHAV!!!!!!!
I live in Newbury Berkshire. Originally from Rainham Kent As yet I have not picked up the Bahhhhhk-shyer accent despite living here 29 years, although there is a developing twang when I say the number '5'!!
School was good, 3 years in Liverpool 85 - 88 even better. A time of pubs, clubs without the Wormwood Scrubbs, only regret is that I can't remember half of what I got up to, let's blame it on the boozey!
I like music.... a lot, and regard myself as a musical snob. Always judging people by their taste in music!! I have tried to judge people by their personalities, which is fine, until I find out that they own the complete Phil Collins back catalogue! And that's it, the end of a beautiful relationship!!!
If you've read Hi-Fidelity by Nick Hornby you'll know exactly what I mean! There's this bit where the 'hero' is taken by his girlfriend to a friends for a dinner party. She tells him that by no means must he look at the hosts record collection. Dinner is served, conversation is flowing, a good time is had by all. After dinner the girlfriend asks our hero what he thinks of the host, his response is positive. She then says 'OK, now look at his record collection', it's all Phil Collins, Chris de Burg, Elton John.
At that moment he realises that there is more to life........ Good for him, I still can't see passed the record collection!!!!
