Interests

  • General

    I am an active Sellaband "believer", supporting new unsigned music acts and I also try to promote signed artists I like through sites like this and other forums. I love live music and movies and watching soccer (I am a Reading FC fan). I watch a fair bit of TV, reasonably selectively. I like to take photos and want to take that hobby to a semi-pro level.
  • Music

    Always changing and eclectic but presently includes Catherine Feeny, Hawkwind, Human League, Joan as Policewoman, King Crimson (early), Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Cat Power, Martin Simpson, Talking Heads, The Doors, Wire, plus lots of other folk music and Americana. I explore music constantly using Sellaband, my Napster membership, Amie Street and MySpace.
  • Movies

    I'm a keen film fan (not quite a film buff in knowledge terms) and have attended film societies and clubs since I was 18. I have wide-ranging tastes including foreign language films but favourites include Spirited Away, The Third Man, the original Solaris, Pulp Fiction, Kagemusha, Tell No-one, Hidden (Cache), Donnie Darko, Lantana, Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon, M. I guess I like films with a stylish look to them and of course a great script.
  • Television

    24, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Desperate Housewives, CSI (Las Vegas), The Wire, Dexter, Hustle, Culture Show, Later, Match of the Day.
  • Books

    Occasional "quality" novels recommended by my wife and her book club, but intruth I seldom read a novel!
  • Heroes

    Anyone who stands up for peace and justice, corny though it may sound.

    If you are not busy please come along and see Jon tomorrow (1st November) @ The Brook, 466 Belgrave Road, Southampton, SO17 3AN.

    Jon is the singer/songwriter behind the highly aclaimed song 'Going Home' used on the Landrover advert. He has recently had his songs 'In Your Light', 'Dead mans Suit', 'Young Man Blues' and 'Down by the river' playlisted on Radio 2, Absolute Radio and many regional radio programs. He appeared on the Jools Holland Show back in May and supported Seal on his European Tour gaining him many new fans. Don't miss your chance to see Jon live at this lovely venue.

    Hello Richard. It's nice to see you here as well. If you'd like to check out music away from SAB, I invite you to visit my friends Bob Cheevers and also Gandalf Murphy. Very different, but among my actual friends.
