I cant be bothered setting up a personal profile and re-adding friends etc....... but my pastimes include watching movies/listening to music( i dj also at west coast rock cafe & beat niteclubs)...shoud be travelling more, but been in some kind of a coma for last 18 months. recently i completed a book called two job salvo. currently, there are 1 or 2 contacts looking for a publisher. dont watch this space mind! OTHER LITTERBUGS.... andy higgins.... mastermind behind bpoolrox magazine /erase today project. andy lectures at lancaster university and sells frankin machines. leading to such comments as it makes frankensense or that he is frankin machines monster. he is also an evrgreen blackpool supporter and eternal optimist. god knows why!
our latest drummer is CASS STREETLY of the adults, the tartan scars, the strik eouts amongst other bands. WHORE!!!
joining on bass in dec'08 was JAKE HALLIWELL. A conosieur of all things punk and grunge. these two dudes have brought the average age of the band down .... thank you guys ! former members in clude adi green, lee clayton and the now almost or soon to be world famous karima francis.
our live shows are short and sweet....usually 25mins max. anymore feels indulgent. we try to not stop btwn songs...just get on with it, no waffle. though andy, the comical genius he believes himself to be(see optimist above), likes to take the piss out of me every once in a while. hence making our set a wee bit too long. the medium of alcohol clearly deludes andrew into believing the general public want to hear this.
the ramones and the pixies are my two fav bands of all time. seen them live about 10 times each. films wise...of latter day...i'd have to go for donni darko / sideways / munich/ prestige/ secretary/ 28 weeks later/ this is england, though prob forgotten hundreds just as stimulating. i have memory problems. ahhh documentaries...end of the century/march of the penguins/ dig i am also in a ramones covers band called SEDATED.
bands wise....pixies / ramones / sex pistols / weezer / interpol / buzzcocks / the damned / grandaddy / death in vegas / chem.bros / prodigy / lcd sound system / at the drive in / nirvana / when people become numbers / the fall / L7 / 9 black alps / the rakes / system of a down / SLF / the smiths / yeah yeah yeahs / the stranglers / ramones / pixies / help she cant swim / arctic monkeys( for about 3months....too painful to listen to now ) / public image ltd / dandy warhols / death cab for cutie / postal service / sparklehorse / the strokes / raveonettes
i dj...if u can call pressing play stop pause on a mixing desk...djing........at west coast cafe every sat and did the crash'd nites at beat some time ago. i also organise a monthly PUNK nite at the west coast cafe....1st friday every month, and the rebellion festival aftershows.
comedy wise......mighty boosh / alan partridge /chris morris /python stuff LIKES.....eating out / cinema / sleep( bed is my fav place...most creative there, especially when dreaming) DISLIKES.....ignorant disrespectful people / selfishisness / not sleeping /
BEFORE DEATH.....it would be cool to see society change with a modicum of giving. a lot of people seem dehumanised to me. its got to start from somewhere, and that can only be with the self.....(no matter what misunderstandings/misrepresentations u have to suffer as an outcast) AFTER DEATH..... i would like to continue my quest for the recipe on how to make bananas. to discover why cars are more expensive than apples.
