    Music, music, music. Then film, film, film. I've also done a marathon and am trying to write a book; I like to think that I'm reliably incompetent or mediocre at most activities without becoming embarrassingly bad.

About me:

I'm now a Web Producer for stv, creating content for the site at .

Entertainment in general - and music in particular - is probably my speciality.

I also have a new blog available at:

Two-word music reviews

I have written for The Times, The Herald, stv, Drowned In Sound, the Morning Star and the Glasgow Evening Times, among other less venerable publications.

I also play in some bands, including:

I Am Subsisty

Popcorn Fiend

There's some other amazingly interesting things about me, but they're all top secret; you'd probably be killed if you found out about them. With a rusty spoon.

    Hello. Sorry if this looks like spam.

    Having released a couple of tuneful albums with theAudiologist and Soni Jimm since my last LP, "Fear of Mathematics", Section 27 Netlabel brings you "Wrpdata”, containing 14 tracks full of chunky, breathy and some would even say pleasantly broken breaks, some good-time-mind-fuck glitch, a few (thankfully blissful) orchestrated mixes featuring the talents of Pinklogik and theAudiologist (also acting as co-producer on this release) respectively, and ends sweetly with some beautiful spoken word poetry by the lovely aussie Cindel Waddington.

    A delight on the sensory organs from start to finish, "Wrpdata" is available now for *free* download. Licensed by Creative Commons.

    Have some.

    Hello,

    North Atlantic Oscillation's "Hollywood Has Ended", from the forthcoming album Grappling Hooks, is featured in this month's Police Box compilation from TenTracks. It's here:

    http://www.tentracks.co.uk/channel/the-police-box/the-police-box-april-09

    In case you haven't heard, TenTracks is a new music delivery service where you can buy exclusive 10-track compilations for £1, i.e. a mere 10p per track.

    This month NAO are in the illustrious company of the excellent Found, Orkestra Del Sol, Fence Collective luminaries James Yorkston and King Creosote and exactly 5 others. Once again, that's £1 for ALL TEN TRACKS. Not bad, really.

    For the first Nerve release of 2009, we're very proud to present the debut EP from Copenhagen's Jean Doe.

    It's drum n bass tinged with detroit techno and deep house, from the glitchy beats of the title track to deep rolling vibes on "Nuance" and "Fibre" before fellow Copenhagen based producer Pyro joins him for the epic and uplifting "Ambitions in A Minor".

    Available in high quality digital download at:

    The Nerve Store on Beatport

    and

    Nerve on Chemical Records

    More info on the Nerve Myspace or check out Jean Doe's Myspace.
