I love music. I love listening to so many things from The Shangri-Las to Serge Gainsbourg, from the Beach Boys to Kraftwerk, from Tenniscoats to Burt Bacharach, to lots of cool songs written for kids by the likes of the Sherman Brothers and by Joe Raposo and by Paul Williams. I think Daniel Johnston is really great (possibly The Greatest).
I also love making music with some of my friends. Sometimes when I see someone very beautiful I start hearing new little melodies inside my head (maybe the light reflected on their skin in a special way or the way they moved made me tremble inside). Later on some of these little melodies collide with words and become songs on albums and stuff.

Possibly my most favourite track and favourite video ever. The very mighty Kate Bush doing Wuthering Heights. This was made before she'd released a record, what a statement of intent for a new artist to make:

Dugly - "Don't look Now" Posted at 2:30 AM Nov 26 view more
About me: I am the leader of a group called BMX Bandits and I have produced recordings for other artists including Nick Garrie, Alex Chilton, Norman Blake (of Teenage Fanclub), YeonGene, Stevie Jackson (of Belle & Sebastian), Ally Kerr, Chip Taylor, Kim Fowley, Evie Sands. Sometimes I think I'd be much better at being a dog than I am at being a human. I think a lot of my personality traits would make me rather adorable as a doggy.

Who I'd like to meet: Kermit the Frog... and somebody lovely to snuggle with.
