About Me

Love my music-mainly soul, jackin house, breakbeat, electro and indie i guess. bought some decks off a friend but im rubbish and have lost the will to try so they gather dust in my room at the mo (but i cherish them timmy!!) would love to get into music journalism but in the meantime i'm living in leeds and working for Nandos as an assistant manager. i tend to move around a lot but leeds rocks and i definitely prefer life up north. love clever, dry humour. hate pretentious, rude and affected people and like genuine people with substance. also people who are enthusiastic about something, independent, open minded and creative. very close to my friends and family. my best friends are a real mixture and have always been there for me. Uninspired dress sense doesn't do it for me and i spend far too much on clothes! i also drink far too much red wine and double shot espresso frappucinos. get bored ridiculously easily and am always restless. love going clubbing and to gigs and getting off my tree, don't care what music but it's always fun to jump around and get wrecked to dirty electro or good soulful house and meet nice people and recover at funk, jazz and soul nights whereas erol alkan, soulwax, switch, 4hero and phones' remixes and annie mac, rob da bank, gilles peterson and annie nightingale's radio shows tend to make me dance whenever! like a bit of minimal but often don't have the patience! massive fan of breakbeat, anything with a dirty bassline and good bands like the libertines, the futureheads and the stone roses so they're always on the ipod too. am most interested in house and soul music as a genre but am really into anything that isn't dull or middle of the road. can't bear all the commercial rnb crap that is always rinsed on daytime radio at the moment but good to see the nme favourites blurring the lines a bit with this new rave malarkey! given up smoking and its not as hard as i thought it would be...until i have a drink and then it's painful. paint pretty regularly and read anything from broadsheets and novels to magazines and trash. and my ambition is to find a job that incorporates the things i love, happy now?!
