Drowned in Sound Event sponsored tours and events.

Interests: Bakewell Tarts without the cherry in the middle. Bill Paxton. Michael Wong's 'acting'. The kickass cartoons of my youth like Johnny Bravo and Earthworm Jim that a part of me will never stop obsessing over. Catholicism. The untamable beast that is my hair. Japan's greatest (and most ubiquitous) actor Susumu Terajima. Adam & Joe (preferably Go Tokyo). Gig going and seeing those bands that make my life worth living. Planet Sound on Channel 4 Teletext, my musical bible. Quoting Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Learning guitar at a very steady pace. Those comedy giants Laurel & Hardy. Ripping the hell out of the following...Joanna Newsom, gangsta rap, Scientology, Julia Roberts and communists. Final Fantasy VII.
