About me:


Hi, my name is Mark.

I have many hobbies and interests which include music, creative writing, astronomy, the paranormal, visiting ancient standing stones and sites of antiquity, science and nature, hill walking, underwater domino toppling (if only I could get the buggers to sink), not drinking Brasso, train spotter spotting and standing up for a very long time and then falling over.

As far as music is concerned I like just about anything from the sound of two bin lids being banged together to ultra weird wibbly wibbly, which is why I was headhunted by Dandelion Radio, a Peel inspired internet based radio station which is on air NOW!!!

If you would like to send Dandelion Radio a demo or CD, here is the address:

Dandelion Radio
PO BOX 54918
London
W3 6ZS
United Kingdom

Please include some info & mention the MySpace site as the source.

I used to be in a band myself, many years ago, but our music was not popular, mainly due to the fact that most of our songs sounded like birds being microwaved. Hey ho.

I am a highly confused individual although this is a lifestyle choice, and have absolutely no sense of direction.

I am also into the paranormal in a big way. In my spare time I am a paranormal investigator. I have been actively investigating the paranormal for around 20 years. I also give lectures on all aspects of the Paranormal for Halton libraries in the UK

Other things that move and shake my life are my son, Thomas, and my cat, Sadie. Oh, and I think I have cracked the secret of time travel. It involves creating a spin speed of 1600 rpm and 100 ml of washing powder...but that only produces enough energy to send 1 sock 24 hours into the future. 

 

Who I'd like to meet:
Dylan Keeton from the band Witness, Terry Jones, Catherine Schell, HG Wells, Devendra Banhart, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Deerhoof, Mr Snuffleupagus.

Thanks for making me number 24 in the charts!

A big thank you to all who took the time to vote for me in the Dandelion Radio, John Peel inspired Festive Fifty chart, for 2007. I crashed in at number 24! It just goes to show that there is hope for us 'outsiders' to the system. Here's to a great 2008. A Happy New Year to you all!

Jan 1 2008 3:20 AM

Happy new year mark. Hope you don't mind us doing a bit of plugging...

Trouserdog's new album is available as a free download over January and February.

The first six tracks are up now...

Apocalypse Gary Glitter
Warehouse Racket
Posh Slag
Death Metal Shopping List
Soundtrack to a Cohen Poem
Leonard Gets Annoyed

These will be followed in February by six more...

If you fancy getting hold of a CD instead, then they only cost £3 in person, or we'll even do a swap if you're in a band and have a CD of your stuff you'd be willing to swap with us.

If you want one arriving in the post then it's £4.99 inc P&P. Just look for the paypal button. We hate going to the post office though, so we'd rather you download it for nowt and save us the hassle!
