I am here for Friends

About Me

when he is not mastering writing in the third person, dan resides in whitworth park, manchester. he takes a degree in philosophy and politics (course code: HOO-HAH) he plays piano guitar and drums, including in bands with names such as emopaedo. he might describe himself as a repressed hippie.

My Interests

all the usual indie lefty nonsense, riding the gin train round the manchester indie nights, sheesha, whiling away afternoons in the big hands sofas with a coffee, arguing drunken philosophy until i lose the capacity to say the big words, glenn roeder and his band of merry men, and pro wrestling - ultra hardcore violence and panto campness - it's the perfect artform!

I'd like to meet:

i'd like to discover i'm adopted and meet my 'real' family; dustin hoffman for a dad, will ferrel in a (tasteful) drag role for mum, noam chomsky and dick van dyke for grandparents, fonzey as an older brother, frank gallagher for an uncle. and karen o for a sister - its worth jail!

Music:

radiohead, interpol, queens of the stone age, low, sigur ros, dj shadow, yeah yeah yeahs, the walkmen, elbow, at the drive in, handsome boy modelling school, autolux, white rose movement

Movies:

royal tenenbaums, lost in translation, magnolia, napoleon dynamite, naked gun, anchorman! rope, ed wood, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, big lebowski

Television:
