horses velvety noses; tumbling tumbleweeds and the smell of sagebrush; cacti & plants that don't require that much water; toes in sand and sea water; appreciating the importance of good shoes; laughing at stupid jokes; laying down on furry things with a head full of whiskey or fizzy pop or both; singing whilst laying down; playing guitar whilst laying down; pretending to be awake at work; listening to Gus sing when he doesn't realise he's doing it ...ahh I dunno, most things are interesting, really, if you think about them long enough.

Heroes
Bill Hicks (RIP), Patsy Cline, Exene Cervenka, Carolyn Crooks and Alan Crooks (I'd be nuthin' without 'em), my little spaceman Gus, and several friends who I won't mention here cos they'd be embarassed, but I hope they know who they are...
I recently passed the ProTools 101 exam with 100%, and completed the Digital Sound Production course. I write/sing my own songs, co-write/sing with other people. Want a singer?

_______________REVIEWS OF THE SEALED WITH A LOVING FLICK COMPILATION:
______________________________________________________________From Manchestermusic.co.uk:
"...Apart from having the best name on this cd, Belle of Les Bois mix electric guitar jangles, gripping female new wave harmonies and a cinematic sized sound."
______________________________________________________________From Boomkat Independent Music Specialists:
"...Other highlights come from Anglo American pairing Belle of Les Bois, who contribute a truly epic slice of midnight pop."
Who I'd like to meet: ........an alien ( a friendly one, though, as opposed to the kind that abduct and perform bizarre experiments on people.......however, I do have a sneaking suspicion that may have already happened to me.).......
