Music Player
Interests
General
Writin', giggin', drinkin'.....all the usual things that keep me off the streets. Partial to the odd cup of tea and Tim Tam, otherwise I'll settle for a Jaffa Cake if that's all you have. If I'm not pushing David Gray to crazed German tourists, it's all about the records (writin' about them or playin' them). I also like the soccerball game. Go team go!Music
Scarlett will tell you where it's at right now.
I'm quite partial to these folks too
.
Too many bands and artists to list but if you want the 411 go to www.majorleaguer.blogspot.com.....
Movies
Metropolis, M, The Third Man, Night of the Hunter, Goodfellas, Wayne's World, Singles, Casablanca, Empire Records, Leon, Some Like It Hot, His Girl Friday, The Big Sleep, Spinal Tap, High Fidelity, Tremors, A Mighty Wind, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Goldfinger, Magnificent Seven, Me, You, And Everyone We Know (back and forth, back and forth....)Television
The OC, Simpsons, Mysterious Cities of Gold, America's Next Top Model. Y'know, serious, thought-provoking morsels of intellectualism. Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars, Veronica Mars.Books
The Go-Between, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill A Mockingbird, all the Hornby books, The Princess Bride, Winnie the Pooh (of course...it's a modern classic), essays and articles by Chuck Klosterman, Lester Bangs, Hunter S. Thompson, Dave Eggers, music related biogs and the A-Z. There's many more, but I mostly read the music mags and the newspapers of people sitting in front of me on the bus (well, it's cheaper that way. Besides, how else am I going to keep up with the daily exploits of Sienna? Have you got a better answer?)Heroes
Zidane? Class.

Networking
-
I occasionally put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and come up with lies about records and bands.
-
Put a record on. Play it. Put another record on. Play that one too. And so on...An endless cycle really.

About me:
Sleep. Breath. Eat. Play records. Pester other humans. Occasionally write. Fall over. Will this do? Oh, and I blog at Major Leaguer . If you like music related ramblings of a mad man then it's probably worth a looksee.
Rekkids? Yeah, I play 'em occasionally. Places that haven't kicked me out for drunken behaviour include...
Defectors Weld...Keston Lodge...The Lock Tavern...93 Feet East...Catch 22...Old Blue Last...The Social...Oakford Social Club...The Pleasure Unit...The Garage (Club Motherfucker)...Juno...Dream Bags & Jaguar Shoes...Sound....The Pool...Bar Music Hall...The Orwell (R.I.P)...Some ol' boat on the Thames (didn't fall overboard thankfully)....and my first wedding gig in a lovely country manor!
I also write articles and slanderous nonsense on websites, zines, and post-it notes.
Pretty crap at replying to messages, but do try my best, and will only accept friend requests from bands if I like 'em. Those that use triangle and wah-wah pedals though will be favourably looked upon.
If you want to add me as a friend, don't just send a blind request.... send a message first, ok? Nice nice
I knew it!
Arial - You're pretty normal. That's certainly not a bad thing, as a lot of people like you.

How’re you doing?
We’re playing at Electrowerkz in Angel on Sat 21st June at 8pm. It’s our first time playing there and could really use your help to play there again. Tickets are only £6 (less than the cost of 2 Magners!) which gives you 3 bands + free entry to the club night after…and it’s my birthday that night too…so all the more reason to come!
Please click on the link below for a flyer or let us know if you’ll be coming and we’ll leave tickets at the door for you.
Forgot to mention that we’re also planning on giving more CD’s away too!
Hope to see you there!
Cheers,
Jon
