For the last two years I've been keeping a log of everything I read. it's been part of an attempt to see if the three foot high pile of novels 'to read' is too optimistic. On reflection, it probably is. I'll post mini-reviews and comments on both books and films on the sub-pages in this section. Totally biased ones.

Musical tastes are always scary things to reveal. I can remember the ridicule admitting to liking the wrong group would get me as a kid... However, I've always gone my own way with music, and have to confess to a distinct liking for prog-rock, goth and some of the more electronic stuff like Massive Attack and Faithless.

However, the first group I seriously got into I still love, and if anything, they get better with age. The last album, Marbles, was a tour-de-force which only suffered from the fact that they are deeply unfashionable. Play the tracks without the name, and they'd be applauded by pundits as the new Radiohead. If this intrigues you, 'find a better way of life' here.

Films I've seen and recommended, both from DVD and Cinema.

I read reasonably widely, although SF and Fantasy tend to dominate. Posts following will describe what I have been reading, and whether I'd recommend it to you!
