About Me

Sometime music hack/bass player/dj (there's a day job too), into punk rock, vintage funk, soundtracks, blaxploitation, 70s glam, spaghetti west, John Waters, the artwork of Ronald Searle, dodgy 1970s Fleetway comic books, tropical fish, jet planes and bad taste. Hanging out with engaging chumrades, cold continental holidays, quality liquors at low-budget prices, havana club and stolichnaya, curries, charity shops. Quark, strangeness and charm.

Bad literary diet

Today's prize charity shop find: Graham 'author of the manitou' Masterton's The Sphinx. Promises to be a low grade load of old bollocks, as does Wolf Tracks by David Case. Why didn't somebody stop me?...

hungover wallow in self-hatred (using a bad film to beat myself with)

nothing exacerbates that doggy sense of worthlessness quite like a really bad film, today's choice being Lucio Fulci's turd-like 'House by the Cemetary'. State of the art 1979 period effluent that I s...
