Greetings!
My LJ has been friends only for quite a while now. I can't be mithered going back and locking all the old stuff, so you can have a flick through to find out a bit more. If you are friending me can you drop a comment on this post saying 'hi' so I know you're out there? Ta! -
Livejournal App

Mixcloud
I've started regularly uploading mixes to Mixcloud. I would never claim to be a DJ - no beat mixing here! - but I have sequenced the mixes live. I guess they are somewhere between an hours radio with no chat and a mixtape.
Either way - I hope you enjoy! The three mixes I've posted so far are all very different: Leave a commentMusical goings on...
I've run out of steam a bit with the 30 days thing - I might have a look at the list and see if there are any that inspire me ( Read more... )Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure

I'm not the world's more elegant man, so while dancing is not something that comes naturally to me I do really enjoy myself when I do. I know that when I've been miserable dancing the blues away (preferably shirtless with a load of beary mates) is the perfect antidote ( Read more... )Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to
It's strange, there are lots of songs I think I know all the words to but when I come to write them all down I actually don't. Even songs I know very well that I will happily sing along to have bits where I have blind spots and lalala through middle eight or I just know the first verse and choruses ( Read more... )
