hi folks! oh man, where to start? as you can see, i am a 43 year old black male living in birmingham england. the home of black sabbath, napalm death and the beat, to name but a few. have been into music and art since my pre teens. i was raised on bands like the sex pistols, the ruts, the clash and bob marley. i also enjoy bad brains...
You can be my friend if...
you can be my friend if you have a healthy appetite for enjoying and supporting real good honest music. for instance, bands like, pure hell, black flag, fugazi, 24-7 spyz etc. also you can be my friend if your mind comes equipped with a built in bullshit detector. also if you are honest, say what you mean & mean what you say...
Occupation:
i work as a support worker. basically working with vulnerable people. people who need help and support with their daily lives.
Favorite bands:
favourite bands are as follows: in no particular order: fishbone, whole wheat bread, god forbid, rancid, minor threat, AD, black flag, suffocation, dead kennedys, confront james, orange 9mm, dub war,
transplants, branch manager, S.O.A, body count, slave master, scream, and for those who like their hardcore - metal? wetnurse...
Favorite movies:
one of my all time favourite films is rude boy featuring the clash. basically the film traces the steps of ray grange, a shop clerk who quits his dead end job to become a roadie for legendary rock & roll band the clash.
Favorite books:
one of my favourite books that i havent read for some time now, is the frederick douglass biography written by m. ruth. it basically tells the story of his life as a slave, his break for freedom and the wonderful accomplishments he achieved throughout his life, as a patriot & activist.
Favorite Magazines:
well, back in the day, it was fazines like sniffing glue. not long after that it was melody maker and the nme. i then moved on to rock power and kerrang, the latter of which, i read to this present day. most recently, i have started and quite enjoy reading big cheese, which i'm told ice-t is rather fond of also. plus anything at random...
Favorite TV shows:
dont know if you have heard of this over in the states? but over here we have a weekly polotics programme called question time. i am not mad on polotics, but i like to stay informed, i like to be aware.
