About Me

After spending a year on the collective Murdoch myspace page I have decided to branch out solo and enter the murky underworld that is myspace. In other words, to relieve the boredom of office gimpdom, and to laugh (and be somewhat disturbed) by 55 year old men named Keith dressed in P&O captain uniforms who declare their weakness to be “young blondes” (yeah right you pedo) and their heroes to be “Hitler” (nice)______________________________________________________ ________I have a penchant for green, guitars, adventures and cokeacola from a glass bottle (hardcore) ____________________________________________________________ __In terms of dislikes, forget stuff like war, disease, poverty etc the worlds greatest, most evil, tear inducing thing which I hate more than anything: Blue Peter. Thinking about it some more, for 2006, I would like to bring into force a music eugenics policy which would eradicate the likes of Maroon 5, Stereophonics and Jet. New for 2007 , please can I ban any Stone Roses, The Smiths or Morrisey (is that how you spell the goons name?) songs from being played anywhere near me (as so often is the case, age is bringing intolerance...). Thanks. ____________________________________________________________ __ Oh yeah, once we owned a Goat, her name was snowdrop. Sadly Snowdrop had to be given away after she developed a nasty habit of head butting small children (including myself) – bad goat- and rocking like a Romanian orphan when stroked. I hear she is doing well now and has a high flying job in the city. These days we own a lawnmower. ____________________________________________________________ __ One day soon I am going to have to justify this page by adding something informative – try not to get too excited by the prospect of a feature entitled “James’s favorite shades of green”. Expect a tour diary in the New Year - hopefully with some guest entries from other Murdoch members and maybe even Snowdrop. If very lucky (maybe that should be unlucky) I might even upload a few tracks from my electronica side project, the P-Plan, for your listening pleasure/amusement. ____________________________________________________________ __ As a final word please go out and buy Murdoch’s debut EP “Factory 13” when released on January 30 or at least come watch us play (check out our gig dates at either www.murdochmusic.com or www.myspace.com/murdoch).PLease send Murdoch to V Festival. Go voted for us and I will give you lashings of goat currry....yum. Seriously please vote!
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
