About Me |
|
- I'm a film and television student. - I used to be an english student. - I'm often discontented but rarely miserable. - Whiskey is my poison of choice. - I'm not as negative as I sometimes make out. - I have a love for black and white. - I'm a musicphile. - I write performance poetry but havn't performed in quite a long time. - I'm always embarking on creative projects but they rarely come to fruition. - I'm motivated most by other people's requests. - I'm very opinionated... in a passionate way. - I'm getting into DJing. - I want to hear more than just US/UK music on a night out. - I've done a couple of film competitions. - I go to WOMAD, Primavera, Solfest & Whitby Musicport each year. - I sit in cafés not for coffee but to watch the world go by. - I often take amusement in the little things. - I write a sporadic music blog. You can find my blog here . If I can't fuel my creativity with writing then my mind often turns to political/corporate vandalism in the form of 'art'. Here's one I did recently for BAE Systems. You can find the BAE originals here. |

My Interests |
|
I'd like to meet:Anyone and everyone interesting, intelligent, cynical, creative, musical and thoughtful. The bloke in Head Of Steam who exclaimed with overwhelmingly charming authority: "Slipknot are shit, ya twat... I listen to Bob Dylan." |
|
Music:My Creations: Currently Listening To: Last Week's Top Artists: |
|
Movies:Some films I've seen recently that I think deserve notable mention:- Juno - Cloverfield - Kenny - Exiled - This Is England - The Bridge - Bamako - Wild Style - The Edukators - The Science Of Sleep - WMDs: Weapons of Mass Deception - Control Room: Propaganda Of The Iraw War - Inland Empire - Crash - Sunshine - Charlie Wilson's War - Taking Liberties And a handful of films that do not include myself somewhere in the credits. In No Particular Order: - Faster Pussycat. Kill! Kill! (Dir. Russ Myers - 1965) - Repo Man (Dir. Alex Cox - 1984) - Christine (Dir. John Carpenter - 1983) - Annie Hall (Dir. Woody Allen - 1977) - Infernal Affairs (Dir. Wai Keung Lau & Siu Fai Mak - 2002) - Them! (Dir. Gordon Douglas - 1954) - Lost In Translation (Dir. Sofia Coppolla - 2003) - Blade Runner (Dir. Ridley Scott - 1982) - Dark Days (Dir. Marc Singer - 2000) - Strangers On A Train (Dir. Alfred Hitchcock - 1951) - Sideways (Dir. Alexander Payne - 2004) - Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (Dir.

|
Television:I don't have a tuned-in television at the moment but television programmes past and present ar below. Again in no particular order:- The X-Files (1993-2002) - The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) - House M.D. (2004-present) - Question Time (1979-present) - Newsnight (1980-present) - QI (2003-present) - Spaced (1999-2001) - Black Books (2004-2004) - Police Squad! (1982) - Various Stephen King Mini-Series |
|
Books:I read a lot of fiction and non-fiction but find it very difficult to seperate out certain 'favourite' books. So instead here's a short list of books I've recently bought or have read/am reading:- "Sarah" by J.T. Leroy - "Thank You For Smoking" by Christopher Buckley - "Why And Why Not" by Mark Titchner - "Gods And Monsters" by Peter Biskind - "Down And Dirty Pictures" by Peter Biskind - "Street Logos" by Tristan Manco - "Emergency Kit: Poems For Strange Times" - "Poems For Refugees" - A WarChild Anthology - "The Shock Doctrine" - Naiomi Klien |
|
Heroes:Almost everyone I've ever heard called 'a hero' I have a problem with so it's not really a method of ideology that suits me to think in. The concept of someone being 'a hero' seems to remove them from reality somewhat. I suppose I could say that everyone who goes through life dealing with all their and others' flaws is a hero... but that would be far too positive. |

In the courtyards of old

Of a northern industrial town.

The drunks and clubbers
