The reason why I list most of the bands I listen to is because I'm terrified that I forget any of them. Lets see myspace as a mindmap, a journal of the bizarreness of the past, present and future, a diary of nonsence that makes sense. Yes, lets!

...I wish I could say Simon Pegg but because he took the fat cheque and sold us all out, no thanks.
Which Twin Peaks character are you?
You're Agent Albert Rosenfield, the snide and superior forensics expert. Your tongue is sharper than your scalpel, and it doesn't take long for people to start hating you for your supercilious quips, but you are the very best at what you do. You don't suffer fools gladly, but you give respect when it's due. In fact, you're a good guy at heart, but so wedded to your sarcasm that you can rarely stand to treat people kindly. Take this quiz!
I collect plastic skulls, vinyl, obscure dvds, alt-independent comics, figurines, music, weird musical instruments, ugly dolls and kitten ear hats.
I play poker and Left 4 Dead ....A LOT
I love going to Jesmond Dene in Newcastle whenever I get the chance. It’s the most atmospheric place in the world. I go there and draw and paint, preferably when no one is about. It's even better when it's been raining and the smell of grassy dew is in the air
I'm an illustration student
Spare time: - If I'm not playing guitar, winding people up, wasting my life on photoshop or drawing/painting I'm drawing outside/hating the general public
I love buying £1 disposable cameras from Poundland, getting a DayRover busticket and going all over the place and taking pictures of people and places. I love taking photos in shops of people shopping, people sleeping on the bus, beautiful buildings and funny little moments. I collect these photographs and keep them in journals
Magazines I love: Fangoria, Empire, Hotdog, Fortean Times, Last Hours, Art Rocker, Fact ..........
Things I like? Ho hum let’s see ...erm, I like drawing, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/Indesign, kind eccentric people, geeks, swearing, collecting DVDs, comics, writing, prosthetics, theatre make-up, synths and er, lots of other things
Richard O’Brien is God and Dylan Moran is Jesus …a very drunk, swearing, complaining Jesus. More people would be willing to become brides of Christ if the real J was as choice as Moran. Eddie Izzard could be the devil! I always imagined the devil would be a bit camp and slurry.
I love that magical feeling that you get when you come home from seeing a really good gig. The feeling that makes you go home and pick up your guitar up
Recipe for Mel cake
------------------------
Add a spoon full of nihilism, smatterings of wackiness, a smidge of paranoia, a splash of cynicism, 3 scoops of laid-back, 2 dollops of quirky and in 28 Days – 06 hours – 42 minutes – 12 seconds you have Mel cake.
All this self-describing is making me wanna go take a cold shower.
I'm music obsessive with a penchant for spastic rock & roll synth pop weirdness ...and lots of other things. My favourite band will always be Brainiac with Pixies and Mclusky level pegging in second place with Devo coming in third. I used to have my own column in a Newcastle based music magazine but I stopped turning up. I plan to resume reviewing again soon
I like to poke fun and argue but it's all in jest.
I quote TV programs a lot
Tony Clifton is my alter ego.
I dislike political correctness. Everything and everybody is fair game in my book. Espcially me!
I want a pug dog named Egor.
I want to grow up to be a werewolf.
I HATE radishes.
I LOVE zombie movies and cartoons
I’m an ordained Reverend (from the life church, anyone can be one)and I have the certificate to prove it. It also says I'm a Reverend on my Mint card, is that Fraud?
Disclaimer: Non of the above text is true.
I love my organised mess.

Who I'd like to kill if I met them?
Simple... Woody Allen. I have my reasons. Personal reasons. Oh, and Diane Keaton!
it's been a lovely christmas thank you, glad to hear you're celebrating too. i've drank too many days in a row for my liking though, it's rough on my poor gullet.
sorry I'm such a prick and shit friend. i have no money, ever, and whenever i think i will something happens and it's gone gone gone gone JUST LIKE THAT and then the LOCUSTS (joking! wait - no!) and it's everywhere with run on sentences and I have to tell you, sister, it's no fun, no way, no how yeah so sorry about all that 'cause I'm not trying to be be be a shit fiend like I said and the LOCUSTS ARE BACK (no joke).
we'll talk soon. i could tell you stories the likes of which you can't even imagine.
Thanks dude. I don't like getting older though. eek.
The picture is from Harold and Maude, at the beginning of the film he's always trying to kill himself... and that's him sticking his tongue out at his mom. lol.
Hey! i'm kinda freaking out about the money aspect of things. I can't get ALG on Jobseekers, although i'm gonna have stop it by august anyway. £30 would be great, it'd pay for my weekly busfares. I really need to get an evening job while at college, only thing i can think of is barwork, though. not too keen on that idea.
I'm not studying web design (at least not coding) which is a shame because I really need to bone up on it. I'm not even certain what i'm doing. the guy talked about maya animation and all sorts! Dude i'll make you a site for free, only money you'd have to pay is for the domain name. I just need to get some books out first and get up to date with stuff.
Thanks for the tip about sunderland. ashington's graphics foundation degree follows on at sunderland! not that i'm doing that but still. lol.
actually it kinda sucked only because i was right at the front so i was crushed by drunk metallers. I missed half of it :( ladytron were great though, I enjoyed that bit. There was loads of retarded hecklers though.
Trent looked super haaaaawwwwt. ahaha. The chicks I went with were at the rail and got some really good photos. I edited them all because her camera messed 'em up..hmmm I should post them in an album. yes. :p
Irreversible
