About me: Now then mate.
I'm 23 and I live in Highbury, which is in North London. It's rather lovely but I still have a soft spot for the lovely Middlesbrough.
Music is my radar, which is why I did a degree in it.
I work as a writer and editor, doing stuff for Middlesbrough Football Club's best fanzine (www.fmttmboro.com), the supergreen Muso's Guide (www.musosguide.com) and other big unimportant companies who'll pay me.
I love this shit, me.

Michael: 'Oh aye, he calls his truck 'Convoy' and that.' Alan: "Michael, you're hanging around with someone who uses a collective term for a single vehicle."
