| General | I am in love with the world. | | Music | I love the Beatles and the Kinks and the Velvets and the Bonzos and the Beach Boys. I love Johnny Cash and Elvis and the Big O and Chuck Berry and Alex Chilton. I love edwyn collins and stephen duffy and the Lilac Time and the bmx bandits. I love the Cramps and Elvis Costello (between 76 and 86) and Al Green and Blondie, Otis Redding, Tom Waits, Nina Simone, The Specials, The Pogues, Squeeze. I quite like james brown and the bee gees and The Fall. im not very keen on james blunt or david grey. my favourite singer is probably Kevin Rowland from dexys midnight runners, my favourite band is probably The Blockheads and my favourite songwriter is probably Bob Dylan. I love Morrissey. i like pulp, i like run dmc, i love betty boo, i like bob marley, i love jimmy cliff, i like lloyd cole, i like chas and dave and madness and a few songs by Paul Weller and Paul Simon. Dusty Springfield had her moments. I love T-Rex ("put a bit of marc in your heart"), Hot Rod Stewart has made some good records, i like fats waller a lot, i like silly stuff like Denim, my friend Adrian R. Shaw is a very good songwriter. I don't think I could really like someone if they hated the Human League, I like Divine Comedy, Laughing Leonard Cohen, The The, Iggy & Ziggy. The best live acts I've ever seen were probably David Devant & His Spirit Wife in the 90's and Gallon Drunk in the noughties. | | Movies | My favourite film is probably Broadway Danny Rose. But like everyone there are a lot of films that have a place in my heart... Midnight Cowboy, Down By Law, Some Like It Hot, The Graduate and dog day afternoon for example. My favourite actor is probably Gene Wilder. In recent years two of my favourite films ("Bedazzled" and "The Producers") have been re-made and ruined. I love cowboy films like Shane, Butch Cassidy, Frank & Jessie James. I like soppy stuff like, It's A Wonderful Life and silly stuff like, The Jerk and Dodgeball. And I love great British films like The Third Man and the old Ealing comedies. | | Television | Boys From The Black Stuff, G.B.H, The Singing Detective | | Books | "We Are Still Married" , "Remains of the Day" and "Harpo Speaks" are all great. The only book that has the power to always make me smile and always make me laugh is Raymond Briggs book about his parents... it gets me every time. | | Heroes | None |

About me:
I was born in South London. I went to Winchester School of Art from 1992 to '95. I am a till monkey at the bookshop of Tate Britain. I write for an Estonian newspaper and have contributed interviews with artists to various magazines and fanzines. I love painting, usually in collaboration with friends. I organise art shows... I've curated shows in Paris and Edinburgh but most of my things have taken place in the East End. I had my first ever solo show at The Sartorial Gallery, in Notting Hill in Feb 07 and it went really well. I currently live in North London. I was one of the artists who took part in Jasper Joffe's "Free Art Fair" (see you tube)

Who I'd like to meet:
writers and artists who'd like to help me with a project called, "Night on Earth" which not only involves going around the world in 80 anecdotes but also spreading the word about a charity called War Child. I want to publish a collection of travel stories (I've got about 60 so far). So, I'm trying to find people who've got an interesting tale to tell about somewhere they've visited. The brief is to write 1,000 words or less about a night you spent somewhere far away from home when something unusual happened. Each story is being illustrated by a different artist. Artists who've kindly donated work so far include: Jasper Joffe, Ed Ward and Humphrey Ocean. I know books take a long time but one day I'll find the right publisher and hopefully raise a bit of cash and awareness for War Child.
Some of the writers who've had a tale to tell so far are famous, as you'd imagine a lot of the contributors are friends from work or college, but I hope I can meet a few people via my space who'd also like to help too.
Turner Prize Winning artist Jeremy Deller has written about being a teenager finding himself hanging out with his hero Andy Warhol in New York and having to reject his lusty advances. Australian born Gay Rights Campaigner, Peter Tatchell has written about getting a hug and an apology from Iron Mike Tyson in Memphis, Chas Hodges (of Chas 'n' Dave) has written about his first band, "Black Claw" and the night they got lost in Poland. Toby Young (who wrote "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" has written about a disasterous best man speech he gave in Washington, If you can help, Email me at mrharrypye@yahoo.com
