About Me

"...And at the head of their ranks rode the great apocalyptic mage upon the skeletal hornicorn of death; and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth..." But on a lighter note:
"'Kevin Robert Mitchell' is a vignette about a child’s fascination with esoteric wonders of the adults’ world," at least according to Google; but it's spookily accurate which leaves me to ponder who's been stalking me exactly.
Anyway, I was born in a cross-fire hurricane and I howled at my ma in the driving rain, or was that Mick Jagger? I’m not saying I was a difficult child, but both my parents left home before I did.
My life philosophy is one of ability tempered with restraint; centered on the little-known wisdom of Accordionism, the principal tenet of which is based on Oscar Wilde's quote that: "A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion but chooses not to."
Cutting to the chase, my musical projects are the semenal (sic) Heads Like That , a spunky mixture of badly recorded post-pub guitar playing and weirdness; and more recently Hightown Crow , a concept so new we haven't even decided what ground we wish to break yet.
And for completists, my own degenerately Spartan music profile page can be found here .
Previous resin to my bowstrings have included:
Several plays what I have wrote:
Better The Devil You Know
Cartrouble
Footloose
From Bad To Worse
Pass The Hammer, Ken
Frankly Mr Shankly:
Cumquat Errogeny
Here We Go Again
More Piss-Poor Poetry
On And On And On And. . .
Slowly But Surely
Verse Like What?

John Robert Parker Ravenscroft
(30/08/1939 – 25/10/2004)

Right time, right place...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting, intelligent people with bizarrely warped senses of humour who can hold coherent conversations and who aren't in the main part stalking cannibalistic psychopaths.

I'm an equal opportunities ironist and haraguer in that I'm not concerned by what people think as much as I wish they'd do it more often and for themselves.

I have strong opinions on everything, but have no desire for the world to march to the beat of my drum; or worse still, to the beat of Andy Trapp 's drumming!

"There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't." If you're laughing right now instead of scratching your head in bewilderment, there's a chance we'll get along just fine!

Even Sensible Jones couldn't have made it up!

The Third Way

Last night in the pub Stig suggested that we had a £1 bet everytime a woman went to the powder room on whether she engaged in No.1s or No.2s. His plan fell through when I suggested another option base...
