Music
What a difficult one!...Taste best described as eclectic..... I get my musical kicks from punk:old and new, Jump Blues, Rockabilly, Swing:40s and neo, kick-ass soul, fucked up blooze, sultry chanteuses, demented rock 'n' roll, early R&B, instrumental insanity, primitive rhythms, as well as the odd bit of lounge and some trusty Northern stompers.
?
? A list would be too long, so here are some killer albums I like (among many others)
Too many fave songs to list and they often change.
Top handful 'AT TIME OF WRITING' are........> The Clash-Train in Vain...Safe European Home...Janie Jones...>Red Kross-The Girl in the front row...>The Only Ones-Another Girl Another Planet...>Alkaline Trio-I'm dying tomorrow...>Melba Moore-Magic Touch...>Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros-Coma Girl...>Social Distortion-Mommy's Little Monster...>The Purple Hearts-Millions Like Us...>The Stone Roses-This is the one.

Nicole introduced me to Myspace, so it's her I blame. She also wasted no time in accusing my profile of being empty, so in the interest of appeasing her, here's the dirt...

BRIEF HISTORY:.............................
Born London 72 - moved to NewZealand pre 79 - then Australia 83, returned home 2001 - then back to Melbourne for baby havin in 07!
I adore London for many reasons, but a major drawdcard is it's livemusic scene and proximity to mainland Europe of which I've travelled extensively. I miss home, but I love my friends here (conundrum)!

Once obsessed with a Mod-World of eyeliner, vintage scoots & bespoke clobber, I'm still a poser but with more eclectic (and acceting) tastes these days! I have a very short attention span, and tend to have a million hobbies (obsessions) on-the-go at any time!
