About me:

.. Image hosted by Photobucket.com Music junkie...I love bands and want to run with them... literally run/walk briskly with them. I'm not much for fakes and phonies and people that go to concerts to get drunk and talk. Chances are very good that if you have a picture of yourself sucking in your cheeks and holding up a bottle of imported beer I'll pretend I'm sleepwalking. ..

Who I'd like to meet:

Nice people. Manic Street Preachers fans. Film buffs.

    My god, did you see the "Search for the Next Pussycat Puta" show last night? Crikey--I laffed until I cried! One contestant actually said: "The Pusycat Dolls are all about female empowerment"--cut to girls grinding and gyrating to "Buttons" or something in shorty-short-shorts and belly tops! And what was with all the close-up shots of vomiting??!! Sure, I wanted to hurl too, but for entirely different reasons!

    Hi,my boyfriend (who's scottish, I'm not, I come from London) used to share rehersal rooms with Idlewild years ago and once beat them in a battle of the bands type thing.
    Babyshambles were excellent, I was really impressed!
    How are you?
