Playlouder - Music is the Network

I hate writing profiles. I much preferred being an anonymous person who Melissa would occasionally photoshop into amusing images for our dear departed Stuff feature. But needs must when the devil...

----- I like:

Gloomy noise, frequently made by grumpy white men of a certain age:
Liars, The Fall, Suicide, Nick Cave, Grinderman, Sunn 0))), PJ Harvey, One More Grain, Suede, Joy Division/New Order, Wire, The Long Blondes, The Wu Tang Clan, Leonard Cohen, Artery, David Bowie, JAMC, British Sea Power, I Like Trains, These New Puritans, Pulp, Nico, PiL, Brian Eno, Simon Bookish, Luke Haines, Laibach, Einsturzende Neubauten, Rammstein, Birthday Party, Pink Mist, Arab Strap, OMD, Sisters of Mercy, Tom Waits, Throbbing Gristle, Can, Final Fantasy, Ulterior, ddd, Vile Imbeciles, Ipso Facto, The Cure, Archie Bronson Outfit, The Auteurs, Bauhaus,

Jackets, natural fibres, reading, writing but certainly not arithmatic, Merlin engines, ale, traditional pork products that annoy Jeremy, seascapes, fortifications, maps (certainly not the band), trying to remember The North, reading, avoiding telly, reading those free newspapers and then wishing I hadn't. The spacing isn't my fault.

I did an IQ test once, I didn't understand it and it gave me a score of 72.

I am not as posh as you think I am.
