drinking tea, putting on good gigs, getting stuff done, weekend benders, beaches at night time, being on tour, listening to music on big headphones, hats, hanging out in my room, finding new music, finding money on the ground, good conversations, my amigos, nice food, my family, nice photos, my mam's hands, having parties, nice wine, being comfy, my dad's stew, thinking about stuff, not thinking about stuff.
Music
bruce springsteen, wilco, bon iver, iron and wine, our little secrets, early motown, elbow, talking heads, david byrne, burt bacharach, dEUS, elliott smith, tony bennett, the band, sam cooke, sigur ros, the beta band.
Movies
my life as a dog, mad hot ballroom, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind...
Television
don't really have a tv. just one for a dvd player. it just has rte on it... it's not that i'm high-brow, i'm not even sure that's how you spell high-brow. i'm just easily swayed into laziness at times.
Books
peter pan, danny the champion of the world, goodnight mister tom, the velveteen rabbit. love kids books. have loved grown up books like, the history of love by nicole krauss, grab on to me tightly as if i knew the way by bryan charles, letter to a christian nation by sam harris, charles bukowski, ivor cutler poetry books, timbuktu by paul auster, never let me go by kazuo ishiguro, gene wilders last autobiography was brilliant, the book of lost things by john connolly, his dark materials trilogy (woah)
About me:
I like dvd’s, seeing people fall over, great food and old people who cycle bikes. I’m very not fond of stickers, people who beep their horns unnecessarily, the three minutes that it takes to actually leave the bed and dirty finger nails. Me and my best friend have a habit of getting over excited about choosing things, like what desserts we can get or what colour tights to wear. I love a bit a messin'. I can’t dance, but I like to these days. Me and my brother once stayed on the piss for 68 hours. It was amazing. I had a bouncing castle at my birthday party this year. Seeing my parents not able to bounce on it because they were laughing too hard was my favourite moment this year. I don't like that people aren't surprised by how young i am anymore. I love nerds, old style not new age trendy ones. I want my face to be infallibly carved with laughter lines when i'm old and grey, as a record of the smashin' times i've had in life.

Hi Una, i dont normally indulge in this "Check out my songs" spam but...
added a few rather rough demos on the profile. Pretty much jams at home efforts of new songs so bad audio/mistakes. Bearing that in mind, If u care to check them out and give opinion of the actual songs as opposed to recording quality, good or bad, id appreciate it. just trying to iron out a few choices for further recording in summer.
Anyway, i will pester u no more miss molloy! Hope the adventure is going well wherever you are!
