General
..Scooters (I have an Li series 2), music, gigs, travelling - I love Thailand and Australia and go over as often as I can, Interior Design, Art, have dabbled in adventure sports, love surfing (or attempting to!) but you can't do much of that in Leicester! I have a great social life so I have to say going out features highly in my list of 'interests'!
Music
..Love it all: punk, psychobilly, rockabilly, northern soul, jazz, 60s garage, all the indie stuff, the Zutons, Hard Fi, Razorlight, the Fratellis (great album), the Arctic Monkeys, the White Stripes (saw them in Oz, Datsuns supporting), the Killers, the Kooks, the Subways, Dead 60s, the Yards, the Bellrays, 1990s, the Urges, Rancid, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the Splitters, the Toasters, the Hoosiers played a great gig, Reverend and the Makers, are fantastic and the Ting Tings....Morning Lane, English Electric and the fabulous Runnin Riot...I could go on
...all time faves, Stiff Little Fingers & all the old punk stuff, the Small Faces, the Who, the Kinks.
Check out The Dirty Backbeats, psychedelic punk, from Leicester. They're fab! They're splitting up in December, so catch them very soon!
Still go to lots of gigs. Recently been to see Motorhead, the Charlatans, Danbert Nobacon, Tracey Curtis, Atilla the Stockbroker, LCD Soundsystem (great gig), Miles Hunt from Wonderstuff (amazing!) & Nigel Clarke (Dodgy), Kaiser Chiefs, Reverend and the Makers (again!). Just seen King Kurt again at Morecambe rally. Saw them in the early 80s in the Fridge in Brixton.
Have been to see the Dead 60s lots of times. Fantastic band. Such a shame they've split up.
Check out Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. Lovin' them at the mo. Album is brilliant!
Movies
..Barbarella, any Audrey Hepburn film, any Johnny Depp film, The Motorcycle Diaries, Amelie, Chocolat, Lord of the Rings, Willow, Labyrinth, love all that fantasy stuff. American History X, American Beauty, Once upon a Time in America, Pulp Fiction...
Television
..Don't really do much telly but love Shameless, Life on Mars, Top Gear (has gotta be the best TV ever), Al Murray's Happy Hour, The Friday Night Project, but watch MTV2 mostly.
Books
..Still life with Volkswagens, Goodbye Johnny Thunders, The Motorcycle Diaries, all the Colin Bateman books, Irvine Welsh stuff, biographies, travel books. Just read 'Chocolat', 'Blackberry Wine', 'a Short History of Tractors in Ukranian' and 'Evil Spirits, The Life of Oliver Reed' (what a personality :-/ I did shed a tear or two tho). Read 'Long Way Round' Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman's riding round the world adventure, great book. Karl Pilkington, funny, funny book, The Last King of Scotland. Reading books about Myra Hindley at the minute. Not exactly bedtime reading! Finding time to read a bit more.
Heroes
..Anyone that has a positive influence on my life!
