About me:

I should hate myspace on general punk rock principles. I'm only here to chat about music and catch up with mates. Rupert Murdoch and News International can get tae .... I'm a lanky greying bloke from Dundee. I'm a total nerd when it comes to music. I co-run and co-DJ a punk rock club night called "Entropy". It's getting a myspace site even though it's wrong because we know nothing about building web sites!. That said Oi Polloi have a myspace... I do not want to talk to poseurs who think that they're emo, because they probably aren't. I'd rather talk to my Guinea Pigs - they probably talk more sense... I live in Dundee with My lovely wife Joanne and a small petting zoo (4 Guinea Pigs, several goldfish). Having come from the cultural backwater that is Alloa (now supermarket capital of Scotland!), I actually like Dundee.

Who I'd like to meet:

Nice, interesting folk.

    Hi Neil,

    I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who listened to my track vortex and who gave me feedback. Its much appreciated.

    I'd also like to apologise for sending the same message five times to some people on Friday.

    I'm currently working on a new track which should be finished this weekend, I'll give you an update when its finished.


    Thanks again for your support.


    Cheers

    Ian
