About me

Gender Male
Introduction I'm a music junky, constantly gorging on as much rock, pop, jazz, folk, blues, avant-garde, soul, metal, drone and country as I can get my hands on. Studied film, but mainly drank my way through college before heading to London and the chance of, well, getting more booze, music and nights out!
Interests Music, more music, always music!!! I also love movies, good and challenging literature, walking through cities at night and debating with my friends.
