About me: ..
I like Isobel, paisley, the smell of grass, the humble fashion and thump of The Band (and Danko's fretless bass that sounds like Canadian soil e.g. listen to The Rumor), Ronnie Lane's scarves, New Zealand dub, Bestival, Dancing Ledge, Ocean Bay, Worbarrow Bay, salty sea, the Square and Compass, orange skies above Dorset dusk, ducks, decks (turntables/cards/snowboards). Here's a pause. Other stuff too like Dingo's twelve string, my Strat, the guitar Gar gave me. Thumping drums. The Faces but not Rod. I want to learn to DJ, as much as I love a cheese platter I'm not a fan of the mass produced Pilgrim's Choice filling the nightclubs...the 7s collection is growing exponentially. I'm at uni in pseudo-trendy Bath doing French and Italian. I love ale. And cider. And meat. Canned Heat fuckin' rock. My ethos is that of optimism, realism, and day to day mirth. Food is and girls' bottoms are fucking ace too.

Who I'd like to meet: Never meet your heroes.
On a non-heroic basis however, I should like to meet your fine self for reading this. Pat on the back. Also included: Genghis Khan, Ronnie Lane and Vincent Van Gogh. Interesting folks but not heroes. Except Ronnie maybe.
The mouldy peaches, bananarama, heard it throught the grapevine, lemon jelly, strawberry fields forever, appleton, the cranberries, oranges and lemons say the bells of st clements, and you could record it in lime regis wearing a fruit of the loom cardigan.
Hello, sorry its been so long but not had much time for myspacing of late. Drop tunings?
