About Me

The last few years have seen me move from the sunny climes of salcombe to the pikey chimes of finsbury park, via equally gun-ridden Nottingham, and a year in colombia...what a maverick. Since dabbling in a bit of journalism etc I finally got my act together and got a job in magazine publishing hoping nme will come knocking on the door...any day now. But why cant I make this page change colour, like every other mug?

Music:

Edgy garage rock, insightful lyrics, bare-boned hip-hop, bleeps and whistles and anything from UK circa '95 when two bit-chancers like the sheds could hit the bigtime
