Can't be arsed to list websites or my cd or mp3 collection now.....my tastes range from s club 7, to infected mushroom, to ramstien
However I love pretty much all kinds of music, they just have to be in the right context......
Trance
in Zeus = repetive strain injury
in a field in hampshire = Bannanas!
Drum and bass
Out of some boy racers stereo = poopey pants
Playing full blast in quaser/megazone = get out of the way bitch or i'll shoot your ass! woo
Cheesy poptastic
on mtv, in clubs, on the radio = close your ears!
In some dodgy late night pub with a 1 metre square dance floor and 10 drinks = "COME ON ILENE"
Grunge, rock and metal
on a cd = waster of good plastic
at a gig or festival = moshtastic!
Jazz
anytime mon-sat = it just doesn't make sense!
a lazy stoned sunday afternoon = NICE!
RnB
Where the majority is white = "oh dear, does she think she can dance"
where the majority is black = "yeeeaaahh dat bitch don't care if she looks crazy, go girl"
oh and by the way...........
JEFF BUCKLEY IS GOD
Jeff Buckley - grace
Movies
A few of my favourite films.....(in no particular order)
BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD DO AMERICA
Just like a cartoon series, but muuuch funnier.
They start off as half-brained hormally charged teenagers, turn into hard core crooks
and end up as national heros.
If anyone knows where I can download beavis' hallucination scence, PLEASE let me know, it is fantastic!
THE CELL
Extremly trippy film (good to watch when drunk or stonned).
Stars Jenifer Lopez as a psychology who is part of a team working on a machine that takes you into another person subconsious.
A serial kill turns up in a coma and they attempt to use the machine to find out where he's lastest victim is being held.
Quite similar to silence of the lambs but still very cool!
THE HOLE
Basically a geeky girl gets her mate (who u think is gay) to get her and a couple of others
(one of whom she fancies) out of a school trip by locking them in some sort of bomb shelter for a weekend.
The idea being that they'll party, the object of her desire will fall in love with her and they all
live happily ever after.....it all goes horribly wrong!
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, HANNIBAL AND RED DRAGON
For an old guy antony hopkins has some wierd psycho sexy smouldering thing going on (or is it me?)!
Although he's no where near as sexy as the guy in red dragon and THAT tattoo *mmmmmmm*.
Basically, hannibal lecter is a cannibal psycho nutcase, but is extremly charming at the same time.
In silence of the lambs and red dragon he indirectly helps the FBI to find other serial killers and in second film hannibal he's escaped and they have to catch him (before he's eaten by pigs?!?!).
All good fun! anyone for brain?
THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT AND BOOK OF SHADOWS (blair witch 2)
Most people I know didn't think either was scary but I reckon they've got no imagination.
I am also very easily scared shittless and I like films where u don't know what is going on and can't see the bad guy.
I'm not gonna bother explaining the story line coz pretty much everyone knows it....I still can't quite get my head around what exactly happened in both, was it a witch, a ghost, a serial killer, a genetically modified turnip?
FROM HELL
Johnny Depp *droool* plays a junkie decective, who's job is to find jack the ripper.
Along the way he has a fumble with a prostitute (played by heather graham), but ends up "chasing the dragon" a litte too far.
Worth seeing just for johnny if you're female or heather if you're male.
Still a funky film...not particularly scary, but gory in places! yum
SLEEPY HOLLOW
Johnny Depp plays a bumbling ..ective sent down from london to investigate a string of strange murders in the quiet village of sleep hollow.
Johnny trys to explain things with science but it all goes a bit spooky in the end. He falls in love with some witch bird (played by christina richy) and remembers he mum was actually a witch...sweet!
Tis a relatively scary film with plenty of spooks and gore. Also has splashes of comedy and probably bits that arn't actually supposed to be funny!
Best bit about it? Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp
He's also pretty hot in EDWARD SISCOR HANDS, BLOW AND THE NINTH GATE (a truley bizarre film).
My aim in life is collect all this films, but i've only got 3 so far so i'm not doing very well.....and I refuse to watch chocolat coz it sounds like the sort of slushy crap my sister likes.
AUSTIN POWERS
Austin powers, the spy who shagged me and goldmember are all pretty much as good as eachother.
Really daft comedy, even if they are taking the piss out of the brits.
Grrrooooovy baby YEEAaaaahhh!
HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL
A mad millionaire guy gets a group of people into a old insane asylum and offers anyone who can spend the night there 1 million dollors.
The less people that stay the night, the more money there is to share between them....his theory is that they'll all end up killing eachother out of lust for the money.
Most of the end up dead....but who kills them?
To be honest it's an extremly fucked up film and I can't remember the extact storyline, but it's a damn good film if you like that sort of thing.
THE NEVER ENDING STORY
Fucking brilliant film!. Similar in style to labyrinth in that there's lots of puppets and wierd scenery.
It's one of those 'kids' films made in the 80's, that today would be deemed far too freaky for anyone under 18.
The storyline centres around a kid bastian, who gets his hands on a strange book called the neverending story.
The book tells of a land called fantasia which is slowly being destroyed by THE NOTHING
Eventually bastian realises that as he is reading the book the events are really happening and he gets sucked into fantasia, where he must help save it with the help of some strange friends ( a horse, a dragon, a rock thingy, a giant snail and various other oddities).
Watch it while drunk/stonned/tripping and you'll probably be fucked up for life!
Fear and loathing in las vegas
One of the few films that can have no form of plot whatsoever and get away with it!
Johnny Depp plays a journalist who goes to las vegas with his lawyer, to cover a motorbike rally, but that's not important, as I said there is no plot and no story line.
This film is about drugs - grass, mescaline, acid, cocaine, amyl nitrate, ether, uppers, downers, screamers, laughers and a whole host of other drugs you were never warned about at school!
If you've ever dabbled in any form of psychaedelic, then this film with drag you laughing back into that mindstate and spit you out two hours late without you having the faintest idea what just happened.
However if you've been sober all you're life you'll also have no idea what is going but unfortunately you
won't find it quite as funny as everyone around you.
Clip
CALAMITY JANE 1953 ..
Calamity Jane (played by doris day) is probably the worst combinations of film genres you could get. It a musical, a westen and a love story...depsite all that it is a fantastic cheese fest!
I used to watch it all the time when I was little and pretty much (I shouldn't be admitting this) know all the songs off by heart.
Calamity Jane is based on a true story about a lady from dakota who dressed like a man and spent most of her life in bars telling outragous stories.
In the film she travels to chicargo to bring back a famous address to perform on the stage in the town of deadwood.
Problem is she brings back the wrong woman (Katie Brown instead of adelade adams) and when both ladies are eventually forgiven the object of Calamity's desires (Lt. gillmartin) falls in love with Katie instead of her.
It all works out in the end though...calamity falls for her 'drinking parter' wild bill hickock and they have a double wedding with katie and the lieutenant.
aaaaahhhhhhh *sob*
FINALLY.....
One of the best and worst films I have ever seen...........
JEEPERS CREEPERS
This film starts off brilliantly, scared the scrap out of me.
It's all about this unknown entity, that has been seen burying bodies and now is on the chase after the 2 main characters.
Unfortunately it all goes down hill fast when you get to actually see what the 'thing' is and it loses all it's fright value...."oh look the man is the rubber costume is chasing them again" hmmmmm.
In my opinion they should have left the unknown as an unknown like in blair witch, or it even would have been scarier if it turned out to be a serial killer.
Monsters just aint scary anymore!
Television
TV TV TV TV
Turn your brain off for a while, spud out and wander into the magical world of Tv.
Garth Marenghi's DARK PLACE
described by channel 4 as "a haunting medical drama set in Romford"
apparently Darkplace was originally filmed in the 1980s and has since earned a cult reputation
as one of the most terrifying and radical television programmes ever made.
Even now, Garth warns that the show, which he describes as an effort to radicalise mens minds,
may prove 'too subversive, too dangerous, too damn scary'.
It is actually one of the most bizzarre and brilliant TV shows I have ever seen,
and definately something you should not be watching on drugs.
DVD is out soonish I think....however much I loved it though I don't think a second series would
really work
as it was mainly the whole original bizarre concept of the show that made it so funny.
This is the synopses of the first episode taken from garths offical site:
"a haunting medical drama set in Romford.
New doctor Liz Asher is tipped off by a psychic cat that theres darkness in Darkplace.
So, when a patient mysteriously dies, Dr. Rick Dagless M.D. must scalpel-up and fight The Forces of Evil (which involves attempting to close a standard-sized hell-mouth beneath Romford.
Contains mild swearing and the naked top-half of a man."
Clip
The mighty Boosh
"Fed up with the same old excursions? Fancy something interesting for a change?
Then you should take a trip to the Zoo-niverse
('Come with us now... on a journey through time and space... to the world of The Mighty Boosh')
The unnatural habitat of The Mighty Boosh... It's a mighty fine day out."
Dunno how to describe this programme really....its kinda like a sketch show but with a different
sketch of each episode....and it rocks!
I saw them years ago in london performing autoboosch and have been trying to find out about them since!
anyways it was on bb3 but hopefully they will ungrade it to bbc 2 at some point....
SOUTH PARK
Sickest wierdest cartoon ever made.
If you don't find it funny, you obviously have no sense of humour and/or you are too old!
SPACED
Taken from spaced-out.org.uk -
"Tim (Simon Pegg) is a twentysomething, underachieving comic book store (assistant) manager with a morbid fear of dogs and Daisy (Jessica Stevenson) is a would-be journalist who is yet to get an article printed.
To get their flat, they had to pose as a professional 'yuppie' couple and their landlady, Marsha (Julia Deakin), is still to realise their deceit.
Neighbour Brian (Mark Heap) is a conceptual artist and more than a bit... well, wierd.
Daisy's best friend Twist occassionally pops in to their flat and is currently flirting with Brian.
Mike (Nick Frost)Tim's best friend Mike is an enthusiastic member of many outdoor activity organisations including the territorial army, although they will never make up for the disappointment of not being able to be in the "real army".
FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY stuff....needs to be a 3rd series!
BLACK BOOKS was similar in comedy style to spaced.
It also stared bill bailey, I think it only ran for one series and i'm not sure it's gonna be back *sob*.
It was basically about a book shop that was run by a drunk toff (Bernard), had bill bailey playing the daft assistant manny(sp?) and the shop was regularly visited by a ditsy girl called Fran.
Sounds rubish but it wasn't...
TRAP DOOR
If you don't remember trap door, then you wern't born in the 80's.
Unfortunately it's not on TV anymore and the videos are quite hard to get hold of, BUT you can download the last episode of trapdoor
HERE - not my favourite episode but they're all pretty fanatstic.
Basically each episode is about 5 mins long. The main characters are Burk, boni (A talking skull), Drutt (a naughty spider), the thing upstairs to whom burk is servant to and of course they are all regularly visited by "things" that come out of the trap door...
Burk - "RIGHT it's bonking time, I loves a bita bonking. 1,2,3,4...can't remember the rest".
Drutt is definately the coolest, he doesn't speak, makes silly noises, eats worms and is always getting in trouble.. This is what a DRUTT sounds like
clip
Leque of Gentlemen is a black comedy set in the small village of royston vasey
..
Royston Vasey is a grim, isolated community peopled by a host of strange characters. There's a "local shop" run by a psychotic couple who hate "outsiders" and are terrified of change. Other characters include a "lethal" vet, a transexual taxi driver and a photographer who is practically blind.
"Weclome to royston vasey - you'll never leave"
is that dave?
That Mitchel and Webb look Very funny sketch show by the guys from peep show.
About me: 25 y/o qualifed nurse currently working on a gastro ward; poo, vom and alcoholics! It rocks.
I am atheist, agnostic, pagan, buddhist, hindu, undecided, confused...
I have a long suffering boyfriend of 8 years....deserves a medal for putting up with me for that long....
He's now my fiance, as he finally proposed this Sunday (2/9/7) and we're planning the wedding for about 18months time, hopefully for the 6th march 2009 which will be our 10year anniversary!
i like...banging drums, smoking, drinking, munching, free porn, partying, raving, camping...am up for most things....
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.
"Kill! Kill!"
Who I'd like to meet: Johnny Depp
Chris Cornell
Jeff Buckley - but that would be difficult because he is dead.
Derren Brown - especially since I keep having dreams of him suducing me.
Girls are lying when they say that size does not matter. I got proof... OK so just a little heads up here. My Best friend Pete has been getting lots of women all of a sudden after not having a girlfriend for the pas two years. I asked if he was hypnotizing them or something, so he told his little secret. He has been taking the enlargement pills from www.Bolinu.com They made his little member grow to almost double the size in two months and it's still growing. I thought he was joking around so I investigated a little and sure enough I found nine bottles of the pills under his bed and to top it off, both his brothers are now taking them too. I don't know, but I am thinking of buying them for Devon. I know it sound shallow, but after seeing the results, it's hard not to. I am living proof that these pills workand have seen it with my own eyes. It is almost unbelievable that a simple pill taken twice a day can make your thing so thick and longer, but it does work ! Best of all www.Bolinu.com guarantees that the pills will work on ANY MAN or they give you whatever you paid right back. It is their word in stone, they made these things work and back them by such a no risk guaranteee. Don't waste any more time, go order some for yourself and see!!! www.Bolinu.com

Hi again
Sarah doesnt like to see any animal killed for the sake of food,be it farmed or free range,so thats why she became a veggie,she became a vegan after she asked me to do research into other animal by products and was alarmed by the number of uses animals had in other products/foods,like gelatine,rennet etc etc
I cant see Sarah getting a myspace page as its not really her thing but i dont mind being the middleman for your vegan conversation's,im not a veggie myself but i feel that if i can help Sarah with being a vegan,i redeem myself a little bit.Im sure i'll go veggie at some point,i only eat pork now and Sarah has introduced me to something called vegetables:D.
Also one thing to consider if you become a full vegan is that cutting meat and dairy out of your diet will cause you to lose a lot of vitamins and iron,so Sarah takes supplements with extra iron everday to make up for the loss.
Btw thank you for the offer of the eggs but Sarah doesnt eat eggs anymore, i still do but i get a dozen free range eggs a week off my boss.
As for the band,i'd like to take you up on your very kind offer of being our webmaster/designer,as im a complete novice when it comes to building websites,however since we're not gigging just yet our band fund is very low,so we'll have to find some other way of paying for your help until we start earning some real cash (Will jaffa cakes do?:D).I will also build a shrine about you on the band's myspace page to show our appreciation:).I've been looking into prices of webspace but have not yet come to decision of who to go with,also the band name we thought we'd settled on is still being questioned by Dave(singer)so i cant register a domain name until this issuse is resolved,which will hopefully be by this Wednesday.
We will have some decent recordings of the band in the next few weeks and im taking pics of the band on Wednesday and Thursday and i have some artwork that could be used on the site,so i&
Thanks for the blog comments.
I really appreciate what you said about Psycho and Im glad to hear that your cat is doing well.
As for the job of being our first groupie:D your the 4th person this week to ask that,at this rate we'll have a groupie for each day of the week,which is odd considering our music hasnt really been played to anyone yet.
hey what you guys up to friday? wanna come into braintree? this amazin band i know are playin, plus i aint seen you in a while. go on, it'll be wicked. x
Hey buddy
My brothers gig is on February 15th,which i believe is a thursday.

Hey, this is Josh, hope things are well. Thanks for making me your friend, I appreciate the thought, because there are a million bands on this myspace now... hey, i dont do this often but i have a free song for you if you want it - www.joshdoyle.com/freesong.cfm its all yours! Hope you're well, Josh
P.S I have made it to the front page of the most demanded live acts - just under system of a down - please vote for me here
Hello mate, thanks for letting me know about the missing gig footage, i am quite eager to see how bad we sounded:), im not so keen on seeing a certain part of my body that a flashed at the camera though.
Also, im very sorry that we couldnt be there from the start but me and Sarah had a great time for the few hours that we were there.
Take care mate and thanks
