is 99% utter bollocks. I live for the 1 per cent. Here's some of the noisier shit, so hit 'play' and get your hair out...
What am I listening to this week? LastFM can tell you (although it's a bit broken at the moment):
People who can live without : drugs, animal products, corporations, television and money. Sadly I use them all, so I wouldn't be much of a hero to myself.
Chi sono: Lookee here, this is my space but you won't find me here very often - if you want to talk find me some other way (facebook / telephone / email / come party at my house)- don't send me a message on here cos I probably won't read it for weeks.
King of my own little world. Life is good to excellent, although there's never quite enough pizza. I make bands loud and it pays my rent, and consequently I get to hang around with musicians and not deal too much with the Plastic People and their nightmare world. Go here to hear some music recorded in my studio (erm, bedroom...)

Opus vs. Word Life Present a night a mixed, varied and genuine entertainment for just £4.
Kicking off the night In true Opus style we have hooked up with Word Life, Sutco and Shrimps who will showcase some of the most interesting up and coming talent on the Sheffield live literature and comedy scene. Proceeds are going towards taking original SutCo play 'Dissexions' to The Edinburgh Festival this summer.
To Headline we have the honor of welcoming The PeteBox for the first time in Sheffield. Voted Radio 1's Champion Beatboxer. This man uses a loop peddle and his voice to create a Beatbox show like no other taking you through the genres of Jazz, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass. To be fully convinced type 'Petebox' into YouTube, sit back and be amazed.

2nd on the bill we have a band called Worriedaboutsatan. Think Explosions in the Sky, The Cocteau Twins and an ambient 65Days. Bring your dancing shoes!

To end the night Opus DJ's such as DJ4D and Mr Mercer will bring you a blend of many artists featured on the impressive Warp and Planet Mu roster, ending with and eclectic mix of New Jungle and liquid D&B to dance away the wee hours.
This is night is like no other in Sheffield so come down and support these artists that would not normally be found on the same bill. We hope nights like this will expose people to art forms and music that they may not normally come into contact with in an attempt to show the similarities in different genres and styles.
Our first birthday is upon us and it will be dropping like... well like a bomb!
