Heroes
Anyone that's created music you or I have made a human connection with.
About me: OH HAI and O' RLY. I'm a music journalist/critic and I write for a few publications. Notably, I'm a senior contributor at Forte Magazine. In the past, I have contributed pieces to the likes of Inpress, Beat, Onion Mag, InTheMix, 3D World, Buzz and fashion magazine Strut, to name a few.
I also run a music commentary blog which you can read over at: http://www.ademwithane.com/
THINGS I ENJOY, AND INTERESTS I HAVE:
Conversing with Emma via facebook - facebook chat - msn - skype and mobile phone -- all whilst ignoring everyone else no matter what communication medium they try to speak to me via, Over-filling the Foxtel IQ box with recorded television and being forced to delete half of it without having watched any of it, declaring that anyone of a non-european ethnicity that is donned in fluoro attire is actually a member of the Klaxons, expanding my musical horizons, Pop – Dance - Rock and General Music Criticism, Pushing my views of Pop upon unsuspecting civilians through various mediums (such as print, blog, radio, mix-tapes and gun-point, ) spreading the gospel of Girls Aloud, disowning "friends" for their unfavourable views of Madonna, complaining about how old he feels at virtually any event where the music is of a certain volume, quoting lines from the movie 'Beaches,' spending more time on facebook than he does at work or doing any work, Imogen Bailey and her complete FABULOUSNESS on Neighbours, Sandra Oh, Davina McCall, Katherine Heigl, the de-robing of Danny Jones, Watching episodes of Never Mind The Buzzcocks so often that he's begun quoting moments at the TV before they've even happened, Madeline West playing a prostitute on Foxtel's "Satisfaction, " Wigging out to Whigfield, Susan Kinski’s health on Neighbours, Dannii Minogue’s hair, Casually reading through the latest addition’s to Amelle Sugababe’s police record, Drinking Lambrusco Slurpee’s, the words "amazing" and "excellent."
