About Me

Ermm, I'm trying not to sound interesting or cynnical on this. It's difficult. This is my attempt: Bret. 18. Grimsby. Leeds in a couple of months. Leeds fest before then. Yep, not that interesting. Perhaps I should be branded failure

My Interests

My biggest interest is Leeds Festival. I love that place/time, it's..just... the place I want to be, and is filled with the people I want to be with. Music; Listening and playing (See old ghosts in my top friends). Literature; reading and writing. Politics; attending and skipping lessons. I'm not going to try and make myself sound extremely interesting by exaggerating as many of you do, just pedantic.

I'd like to meet:

Frank Turner. The person who embodies everything I hate. Phillip Pullman. J.D. Sallinger.

Music:

My most commonly listened to are; Rise Against, The Killing tree, Comeback Kid, Sigor Ros, Million Dead, Alexisonfire, The Smashing Pumpkins, Frank Turner, UNKLE, At the Drive-in, Explosions in the sky, Mogwai, Hundred Reaons, Interpol, Biffy Clyro, Bloc Party, Muse, Radiohead, Klaxons (but they're in NME! oh noes!) The Mars Volta, Refused & RATM... Thought that'd give an okay range though. I just listened to these:

I also play in the afformentioned Old Ghosts, listen to us, think we're really good, go to our gigs and sleep with us...me

Movies:

American Beauty, American History X, The Shawshank Redemption, a dog day afternoon, Donnie Darko, Man on the Moon, Baseketball, Garden State, Das Experiment, 28 days (and weeks) later. I recommend them to you, i hope you enjoi. Oddly enough six out of eleven of them were just chance and me going on channel four/five late night.

Television:

I tend to like Family Guy, The (old) Simpsons, Skins, Mash, Qi, Have I got news for you? Spaced etc. Of course, if you weren't interested by now, you surely are, just wait till the next section!

Books:

mmm I've read His Dark Materials and other books by Phillip Pullman, To Kill A Mockingbird, Animal Farm, 1984, The catcher in the Rye and a lot of other books, but they're probably my favourite.

Heroes:

Frank Turner. George Orwell.

An ode to leeds festival

A strange sense of comradery ermerges out of 60,000 people in one field between the dates August 24th and August 27th. I was one of those 60,000 and this year completely blew my fucking mind. Leeds fe...

I'll miss a lot of you. Some more than others, just listen to Rise Against and always use correct grammar. Andy Bell sucks, Ben Dent rocks
