I Love You, But I've Chosen MySpace

Kraftwerk/The Afghan Whigs are the best band ever. DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE OKAY I know everything about music, and I can prove it. In sport, I support people, not teams. Apart from Middlesbrough. Jose Mourinho is an arrogant cunt, and that's why I love him. National pride is idiocy. Your parents fucked there. That's all. I work in a pub. Don't tell anyone, but I'm really a troll. Good taste in music is sexy. Ugg boots aren't. I quote Bill Hicks all the time. And Bill Bailey. And Dylan Moran. I hate people who hate George Bush because some fat wannabe political critic told them to. I happen to think I'm pretty sexy. Feel free to disagree, if you're okay with being wrong. Genres of music are labels, not something to dictate your tastes with. Brunettes blondes. Fact. Having said that, Tori Amos is as good a contendor as any for 'The Perfect Woman', in my eyes. I'm a caffiene addict, and am actually having to work really hard ..ting down my coffee intake. I can't whistle. HAPPY NOW TOM?! Jeff Buckley makes me cry, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I spend way too much money on music magazines. I still find good comedy funny the 10th time I hear it. I have about 1,200 albums. People who hate blacks, and listen to ANY modern music, are hypocrites. People who say rap and/or electronic dance isn't real music are idiots. Yes, my e-mail is a DJ Shadow reference. A guitar is not a tool to impress people, any more than a tuba or a bassoon is. Mini-moshers are WAY more annoying than chavs. You can write whatever the fuck you want in these lists, because nobody reads them. Except the people who want your sex, obviously. I brought these gifts for you. They're up in my bum. Writing songs is all about stealing, with skill. If you find out I 'fancy' you, it means nothing. I usually fancy about 80 people at any one time. If I think you're something special, you'll know about it. Why have one song that's special with the person you love, when you could have 100? ALL music is pretentious. Pixies and Belle & Sebastian both turn me into a screaming little fangirl, and I'm proud. The reason I'm so opinionated is because I'm right. If you haven't figured out by now that I'm trying to sound like a total cunt, well.... Don't ask where I got my design from. If you must know I made it myself. The ultimate torture, for me, is being forced to listen to "Place Your Hands" by Reef.
The only reason I have this thing is because a girl I liked told me to get one, and at that point, I'd probably have even listened to The Libertines if she asked me to. Which is so stereotypically 'MySpace' it makes my brain hurt, but what are ya gonna do? But fuck it, I'm here now. May as well just use it as a convenient little home page to collect links to all my other homepages (and as another way to whore myself on the internet, obviously).

My Interests

Music, stand-up comedy.
And roughly dick-all else, to be blunt.

I'd like to meet:


So I only just realised this section is meant to be 'Who I'd Like To Meet On MySpace'.
I don't think I've ever been asked such a frightening question.

Music:



The day somebody invents a genre a music I don't like, hell will freeze over.

My CD collection.
Bands I've seen live.
Some of my album reviews.
Some more of my album reviews.
I'm gonna make a Top 100 Albums Of All Time soon. Because I'm JUST THAT BORED.

Movies:

I only really like Stanley Kubrick's stuff, a few British indie films, some blaxploitation, and the side of far Eastern cinema that isn't dominated by perverts. Although, I *AM* making an effort to get into more stuff.

Television:

Well, Marquee Moon was a stone-cold classic, with some of the best guitar work ever. Their other albums don't really shape up to it though. But hey, they practically invented post-punk, so you gotta give it up.
Yeah, you guessed it - I don't really watch TV. I watch football, but that's about as far as it goes. Any series I like I tend to only discover after being shown a DVD by Sid (Black Books, Family Guy), or others (Curb Your Enthusiasm).

Books:

CURRENTLY READING: SYLVIA PLATH - THE BELL JAR
Most of the cliche stuff you'd expect a terminally white middle-class student to like - 1984, Catcher In The Rye, Catch-22, We, Dan Brown's stuff, and the Hitchhikers Guide series.
I sometimes read political satire too, but often find myself disagreeing with it. And I have loads of books about paranormal phenomena lying around, due to another morbid fascination during my early teens. I still dip into them every so often.

Heroes:



I always have respect for people who blaze their own trail and create a world for themselves to exist in which didn't exist before, even if I hate their art. Those people are heroes in the truest sense.

Obviously almost all of my heroes are musicians.

The people I most aspire to be like are Jeff Buckley, Prince, and Stevie Wonder.
