What is your favourite Embrace song?
Changes depending on my mood, but just can't get away from 'Retread' and a couple of others at the moment.
What was your favourite Embrace gig?
Barrowlands of course! The IYNB tour, the whole crowd knew every word and were totally up for it. The guys seemed blown away and reponded in fine fashion!
What is your favourite Embrace Album?
Always contemplating a night out, so it's got to be DFM, which is a good soundtrack to such a thought!
What is your favourite Embrace B-Side?
Undecided, but that's a good excuse to go back over them and make a decision.....
In what order of greatness (1-10) would you place tracks from Out of Nothing?
Spell It Out
Keeping
Ashes
Someday
Out Of Nothing
then the rest.......
In what order of greatness (1-10) would you place tracks from This New Day?
ESS
NUC
Celebrate
Sainted
others....
What and when was your first messageboard post?
Early hours of 23/3/2006. Something deeply meaningful no doubt.
Who was the first messageboarder you met?
Haven't met any that I know of, but I've probably spilled beer over a few at the Barras or SECC. If you're out there, I owe you a beer next time!
What is the most stupid thing you've done at a gig?
I'm never stupid.......ok, so myself and a couple of mates tend to terrorise Turin Brakes with chants of '72, 72' at every gig up this way, and my mate spent 30 minutes after a Travis gig searching for a false tooth he'd drunkenly sneezed out, but that's all normal behaviour, isn't it?
What other music do you like?
Bit of this, bit of that, certainly none of the other. I'm of the belief that there's someone supremely talented in every genre, although Ska does like to come along every now and again to challenge my beliefs.
Anything from Johnny Cash to 2pac has a place in my collection.
What are your favourite albums?
Other than Embrace albums of course -
Turin Brakes - The Optimist LP
Paul Weller - Wild Wood
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
Marvin Gaye - Greatest Hits (bit of a cheat there)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
There's so many, but I can't be arsed, perhaps I'll add more later, watch this space.....yeah right!
What are you currently listening to?
My workmates complaining about my taste in music. Trying to drown them out with The Kooks, The Editors or anything else that reminds me that the 80s was not exactly the best time to learn to appreciate music.
What is your favourite Jelly Baby?
The orange dude. He takes a bit of stick from the others, but he's tough. I'm a little suspicious of the green ones.
Who is your favourite Neighbours character?
Never watch it, so I'm going to play it safe and say some semi-hot chick who can't sing but will attempt it in the near future anyway.
Most likely to say…
"That IS a good idea. More beer anyone?"
Least likely to say…
"I've given this some thought...."
Cricket - good or evil?
Oh so evil. I still don't know the rules, even after giving it a chance by watching it all day when I was off work sick. I reckon the guy with the jumpers makes up the rules as they go along. Does that make him the most evil? That would be an ecumenical question.
What was the last thing you ate?
That orange jelly baby ^^. He had a good run at it, but the green guys were on his back and it was the kindest thing to do in the situation.
Cats or dogs?
Well, lets see....dogs are stupid and funny, cats are evil, so I'm comfortable with both.
Heaven is…
Probably rather quiet at this time of year. There's a shortage of chairs, apparently.
Hell is…
full of traffic jams. Bet they play cricket there too. I hear they've got a good kitchen.
Madness Rating (1 to 10)
I'd say 1, never liked them, although 'Our House' was quite cool in that episode of The Young Ones. Oh me? Madness is overrated. It's never as much fun when it's official.
An interesting fact about myself…
I'm probably the only IT expert who had to type his profile 3 times due to spectacular stupidity. Probably.
