Music, alcohol, meeting people, mates, meeting people and my mates while drunk listening to music.
Music
The stuff that makes you feel good. Whatever it is. Wherever it comes from. Being surprised, god I love being surprised. I get bored easily.
Books
Anything by Umberto Eco and David Mitchell and Haruki Murakami. Oh and DBC Pierre, though the last one wasn't as good as the first. In fact, I've enjoyed each of David Mitchell's less and less since 'Ghostwritten'. Fuck, I forgot to mention Douglas Adams. He moulded my brain when I was younger. Weird how you can miss someone you never met.
Heroes
Anyone who has the strength to see through what they believe in when everyone tells them they're wrong.

About me: Editor of the World's Greatest Rock Weekly, NME, which is both more difficult and more fun that you'd imagine. I spend too much time in the office and not enough time in Los Angeles hanging out with rock stars which is strange because all my staff seem to do exactly the opposite.
I drink too much and enjoy doing so, get slightly teary at gigs if they're really good and get a funny tingling in my stomach when I hear really great new music. No, it's not wind.
Somehow I've ended up with the best job in the world which surspises me every morning when I wake up.
[Marc, can you sub this for me now... ?]
Who I'd like to meet: Most of the NME staff who should be doing something to do with the paper but spend most of their time on here searching out new bands.
Hows things? Thought I'd drop by and let you know that we are playing our last big show of the year in London. We're hosting and headlining at The Monarch which is in Camden on Wednesday 2nd December. It would be really cool if you could make it along and join in the fun, its shaping up to be a pritty cool party atmosphere :-)
Anyway, I hope you have a good weekend, drop us a comment and let us know how things are with you. Take Care Crawf
