Hey,   you...

Welcome to my world. Well, web-site at least.
This DIY site contains various stuff, details of completed academic research projects (including my dissertation), my current(ish) top twelve records, thoughts about life, plus photo's, pictures, and lots of links to other sites run by professionals who know what they're doing.
Becuase these pages are so random, have no style and not much substance either, I have decided to abandon the site altogether.
Afterall, what is the point of personal websites? It's like publishing a book about yourself: no-one's interested!
For now, it will remain as a relic, interesting only to me in a few year's time, perhaps.
For now, the music archive section is about as good as it gets, and it is doing its job by proving that I've dug out loadsa cool records way before anyone else!

If you're here for the first-time, sign the guestbook, especially you crazy girls and guys in Belgium!

The slightly warped photo below is of myself (with the headphones on) and my former house-mate Dave DJ-ing at the Think Tank in Leeds, on decks that have been graced by everyone from David Holmes to Freddy Fresh to Grooverider to Dave "I'll have another" Beer.
I've just moved to London, and in all seriousness, if you're in any way involved in putting on clubs in the city then I'd love to hear from you (see the music bit to see what I'm in to).
That's the blurb over with, enjoy your stay, sorry about the out-of-date bits, ...when you've finished checking out the site, turn your computer off and go for a walk or something.
It's more healthy that way.
