About me
I'm a sixties rock fan, and currently play a Rickenbacker 330/12 with a group of intermediate musicians. My interests range from the German Expressionism of the 1920's and 30's to folk rock bands such as the Byrds to movie criticism; mostly the work of the British film critic Mark Kermode. I'm also a big supporter of Plymouth Argyle, and a wrestling smart mark.

My favorite bands and artists are predominately rhythm and blues and folk based rock musicians, including: the Byrds, the Buffalo Springfield, the Yardbirds, Cream, the Jefferson Airplane, Love, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Pink Floyd (in particular the Syd Barrett era). I'm also a massive fan of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys (only the sixties era), the Velvet Underground and Bob Dylan. Other than 60's rock music, my music interests expand outside of rock and roll into funk and psychedelic soul to Chicago blues to tropicalia.

I also have a love for punk rock in particular the Buzzcocks and later the shoegaze and Madchester scene, including bands such as Ride, My Bloody Valentine and the Stone Roses. My favorite relatively modern band is the Coral.
