About Me |
|
| I'm really into my Music and Films. I go to around 100 gigs a year, go to the cinema about twice a week and buy far too many CDs and DVDs. I enjoy going to "Indie" bars and clubs in Sheffield, such as Leadmill, The Plug, Corporation, Threads @ DQ, The Boardwalk, The Harley and The Frog & Parrot. Since joining the myspazz community I've took to inflicting my inner most thoughts about the gigs I attended in 2007 on the unsuspecting public. And more recently and in a more official capacity I infrequently write for LMS and Square Indie: http://www.leedsmusicscene.net/writer/shane+spencer/ http://www.squareindie.co.uk I drive a 1968 Karmann Ghia, which my father and I restored over a 5 year period. I also have a motorbike (Honda CBR600F) but haven't had much use out of it recently. I work in IT for HSBC, but I very definitely work to live and not live to work. |

Movies:My top 5 films in no particular order are..."True Romance" - I'm a romantic at heart, written by Tarrantino it's got everything, sex, drugs, romance, comedy, violence, great dialogue, a mexican stand-off to die for, and of course Elvis! "Watership Down" - it always makes me cry, those poor ickle bunny wabbits, any film that powerful deserves to be watched again and again. "Azumi" - broads with swords... the one thing that's better than chicks with dicks, seriously a kick-ass martial arts movie, simply breathtaking! "Donnie Darko" - a film that always gets me thinking, great soundtrack too! "High Fidelity" - 'Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?'... a romcom about commitment, love and of course pop music. Basically I've got pretty eclectic tastes. I own around 300 DVDs and go to the cinema about 100 times a year. I particularly enjoy seeing films from the far east and other smaller releases. |
