About Me

I'm 29 and from London. I live with my long suffering girlfriend Anna our three legged cat Blackjack and our newest addition who is an "old lady" tabby cat.(Fairly)Recent endeavours have seen me DJing throughout London and the South and when situations allow still something that I'm still keen to pursue (even though I'm finding it a struggle to keep up with music now I'm no lnger working in that industry)My newest avenue for release of pent up frustration with myself, the world and those that inhabit it is the band SYSTEM:FX (www.myspace.com/sysfx) with friends Debs and Steve.Life is quieter and more content now and enjoy nothing more than playing old master system emlator games with a cold drink on the go whle lounging around in varying states of undress. *sigh* :)I'm an individual, just like you.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people with a similair interests to myself, people who can laugh at themselves and who don't take themselves too seriously.

Music:

Where to start? I try not to be as limiting in my tastes as I was when I was younger.Some of my absolute favourites from a very wide spectrum would be:Aphex Twin/Ladytron/Atari Teenage Riot/Nine Inch Nails/Ministry/Skinny Puppy/Chemlab/Princess Superstar/Noisex/Therapy?/White Zombie/Orbital/Mindless Self Indulence/Laibach/KLF/Lard/Haus Arafna/FLA/Felix/Feindflug/The Faint/Dismantled/Babyland/Adult/Postal Service/Miss Kittin/Quite the mix between heavy duty industrial, super gay indie and uber trendie hipster electro. Could have gone much more in depth but then I'd end up with a 500 name long band list and what would that tell you about me other than the fact I'm an anal retentive who likes writing lists ;)

Movies:

Something with a bit of an edge or something that is stupidly pretentious. Could be futuristic dystopian science fiction or claustrophobic low budget horror.Best is the kind of film where it is mentally impossible to think of anything else for the duration of the movie.Some favourites:Witnail And ITetsuoSeveranceVideodromeSawGunhedCalamari WrestlerAliceAppleseedAvalonBattle RoyaleBeetlejuiceBlade RunnerBrazilCasshernNatural Born KillersGothic The DevilsLeaving Las VegasDagonRe-Animator...Of The Dead TrilogyBraindeadDelicatessenEvil Dead TrilogyFear & Loathing In Las VegasTexas Chainsaw MassacreRequiem For A DreamSociety
