My favourite album
Daft punk - discovery, it was my first bought album, I remember being really young and singing One More Time in my room

My favourite lyric
Dash Berlin - Man on the run, I just love especially how they're sang. makes me all goosebumpy

My first gig
Blue lmao. I've been to millions of festivals (Usually 3 a year) but only 3 artist specific gigs, Blue, Tiesto, Stereophonics.

The book that changed me
Barely anyone will like it but Lord of the Flies showed me how easily people can turn animalistic and into a completely uncivilised savage.

My favourite painting
I dunno, but I like this.

My style icon
Can't think.

My favourite place
Beijing or Turkey, or the place I go to when I'm sad haha. I love all 3 equally.

My favourite album artwork
I'll come back to you.

My idol
Michelle Mone

My alter ego
Most people think I'm really nice, but I can be extremely twisted and evil

. I scare myself sometimes. Not that I'd ever hurt a soul :(, I just have a horribly wild imagination.

Inside each one of us is love,
And we know how it feels.

- Paul McCartney

The Pretenders in 1984

My favourite album

R.E.M. - Monster. Probably because this album was popular when I was a kid and every song on it brings back memories. My parents are huge fans so they played it a lot.

My favourite lyric

From The Beatles - In My Life

"There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone, and some remain.

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life, I've loved them all."

The whole song, actually.

My first gig

Blink-182 at the Molson Amphitheatre here in Toronto in 2003. I was 13 and I had a terrible experience......

The book that changed me

My favourite painting

Monet - Vanilla Sky. This painting was also my grandmother's favourite, and it had been hanging in her house for over 40 years before I received it after she died.

My style icon

I'm my own style icon!

My favourite place

My car. I could live out of the damn thing!

My favourite album artwork

Only because this cover can be whatever you want it to be:

My idol

My mother. She took up a SECOND JOB to put me through 15 years of expensive flute and guitar lessons because I showed a little talent. Her entire paycheck from that job paid for everything. I will always be grateful to her for that.

My alter ego

Probably me when I'm playing my flute. I can charm the pants off you with a Telemann Fantasia or amaze you with a virtuosic Chaminade piece.

CanwllCorfe · 05-04-2010, 08:48 PM

My favourite album
At the moment probably Black Paris 86

My favourite lyric
So we're bound to linger on, we drink the fatal drop, then love until we bleed, then fall apart in parts.

My first gig
N/A. The only real "gigs" we have around here are generic rock and metal ones. There's Crock Rock which has a lot of big bands but I haven't gotten the chance to go there

The book that changed me
Never Let Me Go

My favourite painting

It's hard to say but I've always liked this one (Saturn Devouring his Son by Francisco Goya). I also like a lot of Theodor Kittelsen's dark stuff like Fattigmannen, Pesta Kommer, and Musstad.

My style icon
No one. I have very finicky tastes

My favourite place
Probably the beach.. or just being close to it.

My favourite album artwork
Either

or

My idol
No one

My alter ego
CanwllCorfe! Tim is my normal self.
