My favourite album
In the Heart Of the Moon by Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté, head and shoulders above everything else I've ever heard.
My favourite lyric
This verse from Nick Cave's
As I Sat Sadly By Her Side...
Quote:
Then she drew the curtains down
And said, "Oh when will you ever learn
That what happens there beyond the glass
Is simply none of your concern?
God has given you but one heart
You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
And God don't care for your benevolence
Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
Nor does he care for you to sit
At windows in judgement of the world He created
While sorrows pile up around you
Ugly, useless and over-inflated"

My first gig
The Hives at Brixton Academy, 2000/2001 (whatever year it was when

The book that changed me
My favourite painting
Arnold Böcklin's
Island Of the Dead, 1880
My style icon
Meh. Don't really have one.

My favourite album artwork
My idol
Probably David Mamet. The way that man manages to make something spectacular out of a mundane-seeming concept is jus amazing.
My alter ego
It's a cliche, but I'll drop a quick mention of my drunk self here, for reasons I'll keep to myself
