Sometimes British, sometimes Colombian-based contributor. Mainly interested in articles regarding WikiProject Albums (particularly improving UK post-punk/new wave/synthpop albums from 1977 to 1984), WikiProject Songs, WikiProject Cricket and WikiProject Colombia.

Articles I want to work on

 * Five Leaves Left (1969)
 * Bryter Layter (1971)
 * Pink Moon (1972)
 * I'm a big Nick Drake fan, and considering the scarcity of material surrounding these three albums at the time of their release, once these articles are completed, it is unlikely that they will ever undergo major changes in the future, so they should all be good GA candidates.

Albums:


 * Unknown Pleasures (1979)
 * Specials (1979)
 * One Step Beyond... (1979)
 * Metal Box (1979)
 * I Just Can't Stop It (1980)
 * Vienna (1980)
 * Searching for the Young Soul Rebels (1980)
 * Closer (1980)
 * Absolutely (1980)
 * Signing Off (1980) – mostly done, needs revising... possible GA candidate?
 * More Specials (1980)
 * My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1981)
 * Present Arms (1981)
 * Duran Duran (1981)
 * 7 (1981)
 * Dare (1981) – urgently needs an overhaul, one of the biggest albums of the era, but the article is in poor shape with many dead links and non-RS citations.
 * Singles Going Steady (1981) – already expanded pretty much as far as I can, very little information available
 * Tin Drum (1981)
 * Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret (1981)
 * Rio (1982)
 * Sulk (1982) – mostly done, needs revising

 * Upstairs at Eric's (1982) – mostly done, needs revising
 * Songs to Remember (1982) – mostly done, needs revising... possible GA candidate?
 * The Dreaming (1982)
 * The Rise & Fall (1982)
 * Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (1983)
 * Waiting (1983)
