Nothing makes me happier than spending my nights drinking snakebite in some grotty pub, looking out for the next band who will change the world. I was there at the first Can show in Cologne and all that. Sex Pistols at the 100 Club? In the front row, mate. Arctic Monkeys? They played their first gig in my basement I'll have you know.
So what else do I get up to? Well I'm quite partial to hanging out with my good friends Liam Gallagher, Alex Turner, Johnny Borrell, Pete Doherty, Mike Skinner, Morrissey and Thom Yorke, although I don't like to talk about that.
Actually I do quite like talking about it - I write about them every bloody week! And I take their pictures, although Ryan from The Cribs stage-dived on my camera last week so I'm currently waiting for the lens to get fixed.
