The Hit list. The stuff thats top banana!
This is the stuff that to me is simply brilliant. The good stuff, the things that keep me (reasonably) sane. The things that i love, that impress me.
1 Manchester City FC
Ok, we might not be the greatest team on paper, but that is irrelevant. I have blue blood running through my veins, and I take great pride when City do the business (especially against the red scum). Lets hear it for 'The blue shirted heroes from the Eastlands Academy of footballing excellence'.
2 Good basslines
A dirty, deep low down bassline, as performed by Peter Hook, or Mani or more recently Carlos Dengler. Simple, no bass fretwanking, just good honest down in the sewer dirty bass sounds.
3 Kraftwerk
I love these, and i have done since i first heard them when I was about 16. Even went to see them live, and to this day they are still the best live act. True German efficiency, with a touch of class.
4 Cricket
On a hot summers day, with a beer in hand, watching Lancashire take apart the weak Yorkshire bowling attack..ahhh, fantastic. Or on the rare occasions that we turn over the Aussies.
5 Good films
The Goodfellas. "What the fuck makes me so fuckin' funny?" What a film. I can watch this film over and over. And other films like The Wicker Man, Italian Job, McVicar etc. Proper films and no Bruce Willis in site.
6 Discovering a new band
The first time you hear a new band like The Pains of Being Pure at Heart or an old band you've never heard before. When you put the album on, and soon a huge grin forms on your face, because you realise that you've just uncovered another aural treat.
7 Beer
Lager, lager, lager. Carling is the beer, or Guinness. I love Carling, nicely chilled on a hot day. Beautiful.
8 Kebabs
Chicken Tikka and Donner, with salad and mild sauce. Thank you very much.
9 Playing my bass
I love playing my bass, turning up the volume and playing nice and loud. Either rehearsing in a band, or just playing along to some other music on cd.
10 Bands I've been in
I am very proud of the bands I've been in. Yo-yo Parade were the first, kind of like the Stone Roses - best song 'I'm a chameleon'. The second band Jaded - best song 'I'll see you someday'.
My current band, is simply the best band i've ever been in. '5 Leaves Left' have already done a handful of gigs. Our best tunes so far are 'Dead Already', 'Stand up be free' and '...and still it rains'.
