Mat has a lush rating of 9.4 from 105 votes.

What is your favourite Embrace song?

OON.

What was your favourite Embrace gig?



Company aside, ..Dalby was a bit shit.



OTHERWIIIIIIIIIIIIISE...

Edinburgh Liquid Rooms is still my favourite Embrace performance. Fantastic and moving performances of OON plus My Weakness, Save Me, Wonder. It was beautiful and well worth the trip. Spiderman antics from Daniel too.

I fucking love OON live.

Cavern Club weren't too bad either.

Apollo 05 was the sex.

I liked that gig were I got lost and started moaning and then someone laughed at my scarf. That was 13/13.

What is your favourite Embrace Album?

As a "complete work": Drawn from Memory. On its own.

What is your favourite Embrace B-Side?

Come On And Smile,

Red Eye Shot,

Too Many Times (Extended),

Dry Kids,

and

Milk & Honey.

What and when was your first messageboard post?

It was, back in 1999, under the guise of "Big Metty" and it was most likely of a homosexual nature.

Otherwise, when J sold out and a 'proper' board was made *cough*, I think it was something about how shit something was. I then got called a girl. Laura, in particular, was adamant that I was female, so much so that I had to slabberdash her at Manchester to get her to accept the sexy fact that I am no such thing.

My posts rated from poor to uninteresting from then on.

Who was the first messageboarder you met?

THEY ARE ALL UTTER GOBSHITES.

What is the most stupid thing you've done at a gig?

I made Dan drink 3 shots of tequila in the pub before we got to the Cockpit. There were consequences.

I wore schools shoes to Dalby because someone said it was a 3 mile walk. I looked well ghey.

I did a "Generation X" "Extreeeeeeeeme" type hand signal at a gig in Manchester once, some Emo guys came over and said I was 'infantalising their STRAIGHTEDGE (WTF) ethos' and they wanted a fight. I refused, and a short term mutual freindship blossomed over the evening, culminating in a trip to their halls for a smoke and the conclusion that "The retraction method isn't the best, as sperm can still live in Pre-cum". Electric.


Oh, and I think I told Shaunus that I was a professional footballer. Oops.

What other music do you like?

I like at least 2 different types of music. Sometimes I even listen to black people.

If you want to verify this, then visit my last.fm page, which has a link at top of this profile.

To make it easy to digest, I like:

Pop music.
Noise Rock.
Post Rock.
Shoegaze.
Old School Funk.
Slowcore.
Those new fangled Post Punk bands that the NME likes to bum.
Jazz Piano singers.
Electroclash and other forms of interesting computer music.

What are you currently listening to?

The MSN sound of "new message" as I have so many many friends. Actually,

I've turned that off.

What is your favourite Jelly Baby?

Beyonce.

I'm ready, Beyonce.

Who is your favourite Neighbours character?

Right, I'm going to go a little crazy and delete my previous entry, as after some heavy thinking and soul searching, I've realised that even though both Skye and Analeese are tip top, they do not match the tom-boy, slightly kooky charms of Coddee. I miss her..

Most likely to say…



Least likely to say…

Lets play darts/snooker/billiards/ talk about maths.

I can't be arsed to cook.

Cricket - good or evil?

Televised Cricket is bad. The game is just poor.

I've been watching it today at work, and I like the way everyone gets really excited and happy when someone shouts a particular phrase. So that bit's nice enough.

What was the last thing you ate?

What did you want to be when you were growing up?

A baker or a poet.

If you were having a dinner party, which member of Embrace would you want to help in the kitchen?

Ha!!!!! As if.

Cats or dogs?

Both are shit.

Get an Edinburgh Reindeer.

Heaven is…

A nice pint of sturdy beer in the sun, and spending time with nympho brunettes.

Hell is…

Getting taxed loads.

Extreme feminism.

Trains in the north-North of England.

Madness Rating (1 to 10)



An interesting fact about myself…

I went to the same Primary school as Jet! Well, she did her Gymnastics BAGA course there. I sleep before a giant poster of Quincy. I like to buy CD;s, rip them to iTunes, then give the cd's to Oxfam and Help the Aged.
