About Me

Born in south Oxfordshire; went to university in Oxford; played bass in a wildly overambitious indie band (two demo tapes, many gigs); left them ("musical and ideological differences"); lived and worked in Bangor, north Wales, for 10 years; moved back to Oxford last year.
There are some photos at www.flickr.com/photos/antisyzygy/ . After 10 years without hearing much live music, I'm here mostly to find out what's going on in Oxford.

My Interests

Music:

The forgotten love-children of a tumultuous night of passion involving The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Captain Beefheart and Lee Scratch Perry. I.e., Robyn Hitchcock, The Jazz Butcher, Departure Lounge, The Blue Aeroplanes, R.E.M., Brian Eno, Spacemen 3, Stereolab (up to Emperor Tomato Ketchup), Wilson (in dub they trust), The Fall, The Raveonettes, The Killers. And anything with molten guitar sprayed all over it by Robert Fripp. In Oxford: The New Moon; Mary's Garden.

Books:

All of them, all of the time. My part-time address is the upper reading room of a well-stocked library.
