About Me

Hello. My name is Stef. Nice to meet you.
I'm 29 and I live in London, England.
Most nights you'll find me at a gig. Or at home fiddling with my guitars. Or listening to music somewhere. Or out with friends.
I like music, a lot.
I used to play bass and sing backing vocals in sonicflyer . We went to Moscow and played with Noel Gallagher. It was sweet.
You can see some of my music photography here if you like. One of my photos of Dave Grohl was published in the NME! That was pretty exciting.
I film things, too. You can see some of the results here .
Also, I was in a secret organisation once, and subsequently helped to initiate its downfall, but let's not go into that here.
Being kind doesn't make you fake,
Being pretty doesn't make you stupid,
Being sexual doesn't make you promiscuous,
Being compassionate doesn't make you naive,
As being spiteful doesn't make you "real,"
As being intelligent doesn't make you correct,
As being straightedge doesn't make you ethical,
As being rich doesn't make you entitled.
Nothing makes you inherently better than anyone,
And no one can render you worthless.

My Interests

When playing Vice City, if "Cum On Feel The Noize" comes on the radio I have to stay in the car and listen to it. Even if it means failing a mission.
Also, music, guitars, rock n roll, all that other cool stuff you're supposed to put on your interests lists to make people want to get to know you better. Oh, and Super Mario Kart.

Musicians, artists, creative people, people with something to say, nice people, ex-Neurocammers, humans.

I met Pete Doherty yesterday

We talked for about five minutes and he managed not to get arrested during that entire time. Amazing.

With an F not a PH.

I have worked here for months but my boss still can't spell my name right, despite the fact that I have pointed this out to him a hundred times. Am I wrong to be pissed off?
