I’ve just been tagged…

…by Laurence-Helene . 5 things you didn’t know about me and pass it on, so here they are…

1. I once skydived out of a plane 5 times in one day. Long story but a bet was involved and suffice to say I haven’t done it again since

2. I used to be the lead singer in an ill-fated band called ‘The Sticky End’ (yes I know). We once supported famed rockabilly band The Guana Batz and nearly got bottled off the stage because we were so bad

3. I have glasses. Had my eyes tested over christmas. Think they make me look more intelligent than I actually am so perhaps I should wear them more.

4. I live in the country and as well as my family have a horse (the wife’s, actually), a dog, a cat, 3 chickens and 2 goldfish to support

5. I’m an 80’s throwback so I have a lot of dodgy 80’s compliations on my ipod and my key historical references (The Smiths, The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Betty Blue, Angelheart, Miami Vice – 1st time around) tend to involve lots of sad haircuts and vaguely gothic connections.

In turn I would like to tag some of those whose blogs I am enjoying right now (apologies if you’ve already been tagged)

Vive La Revolucion at Strawberry Frog

HeeHaw in the US

Planningonsubversion

Mannish (great blog, love India)

and the optimistic sorts at W & K

Hopefully they’ll be a little less dodgy than mine.

    The meme-ing of the blogosphere continues!
    I’ve actually responded to the meme, check it out here:

    And, since you mentioned the Cocteau Twins, have you caught anything from Simon Raymonde’s label, Bella Union?
    They’ve signed a slew of bands from my former hometown that you might like. Midlake, Robert Gomez, Lift to Experience among others. If you get a chance, check ’em out!
