Angie and the Bear Cardiff based, but that's not their fault. Beautiful acoustic joy Kicks Joy Darkness Just incredible. And sadly 75% corpsified Mystery Jets The Boxer Rebellion
That's some friends and associates, as for everything else?
Nirvana, QOTSA, Distillers, System of a Down, The Cure, Bowie, Deftones, Fugazi, Hole, Hope of the States, Jane's Addiction, Jeff Buckley, Jimmy Eat World, Joanna Newsome, Johnny Cash, Joy Division (screw New Order!), Lamb, Lou Reed/Velvet Underground, Marilyn Manson, The Mars Volta, Mogwai, Muse, Nick Drake, NIN, NOFX, Pixies, PJ Harvey, Placebo, Portishead, Prez of USA, Radiohead, RATM, Ramones, RHCP, Sex Pistols, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, Tom Waits, TOOL, White Stripes and so much more - that's just what I used iTunes to remind myself of...
Dark nasty ones... Audition, Battle Royale, Goodfellas(and all the other top gangster films - Scarface, Casino, Dog Day Afternoon - poss. the funniest heist ever), Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut (hate Tom & Nicole, but good film) Secretary (whee! more mainstream kink!) Usual Suspects, Cohen Bros. films, Fight Club, Shaun of the Dead, Taxi Driver, Saw I & II, Donnie Darko - look there are so many good films, this list doesn't even start to touch on it, but I suppose this is just a taste of my tastes... oh, and ANYTHING where the heroes get slaughtered - doesn't happen enough IMHO... And! Taiwanese Zombie Porn - it's always good for a laugh!
What kind of porno would you star in?
Durrr... Well there's fucking surprise! I didn't expect that result at all ~;P
Yeah, more dark shit... like what? Can't think right now... Oh, suppose League of Gentlemen, Six Feet Under, CH4 News (no, really...), anything heavy or twisted, that kind of thing...
Books
Never underestimate the power of words!
So, books huh? I like ones with big words... ;)
No, I don't mean large print you pedamorphic omadawn...
Victor Pelevin (read The Clay Machine Gun before you die, or your life will have been wasted) William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, Phillip K Dick, Iain Banks, Kim Stanley Robinson, Toby Litt, Michael Marshall Smith, Pat Cadigan and too many more to even think about...
I am also into certain quality comix/graphic novels, and will brook no dissenters on the subject, or this will happen to you:

A suspension and freak show circus
I like me sometimes, sometimes others do too - never quite sure why...
Right now?
Still freelancing, doing some good work, but most of my time is now being eaten up by the creeping terror that is The Texas Chainsaw Travelling Horror Picture Show
So what next?
Well, we have secret plans galore, so as well as our next stage show, there should be some surprises in store - keep your eyes peeled! And in general? The geek shall inherit the earth!
If there is a cliche of the geek child that in some way didn't apply to me, it was a rare thing... But like an ugly duckling with a problem with authority and disturbing body-height ratio, that metamorphoses into a beautiful butterfly under the aegis of some highly dubious genetic engineering, I am just another sad experiment born of a demented mind, destined to a brief life of misery and verbosity by the twisted hand that created me.
Times are hard, bru...
p.s. I have only ever once updated my top friends. I will again some time, maybe. If I can be fucked.
Who I'd like to meet:
“I have long been of the opinion that if work were such a splendid thing the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.”
- Bruce Grocott
“Work is the curse of the drinking classes.”
- Oscar Wilde
I really really want to meet chaffy - cos then he will be found!
Anyone cool (my definition, not yours ~:P), fun, drunk or with a good supply! Intellectual/emotional genius a bonus - on an even par with cuteness and insane hair if I'm feeling less demanding ;)
BTW, it's nice to find random people asking to be my fwend (aww...) but if you're gonna ask to add me, especially if you are some band I've never even heard of
drop me a line saying why and how you found me
- makes things more interesting.... (and saves me sending you a mail asking what the hell you are doing - I mean, did your mouse slip or something?)
Ignore this and I'll probably ignore you...
Oh, and no sodding christians either! Or any other religious types who feel the need to share the good news with me. GET THIS: The only good news I ever heard was in The Nietsche Telegraph - I believe I once heard it in a bulletin presented by Trent Reznor too. Now FUCK OFF. Let me just make this perfectly clear once again:NO MESSAGE = NO ADD!
If you can't read this, if you can't send a bulk email via BCC, if you don't know how to use your myspace, don't know that 15Mb files shouldn't be sent via email, in short, if you are yet another retarded luddite fucknut, I have only one thing to say to you:
~:P
