Really enjoyed War Photographer, the James Nachtwey documentary.

Vivian Girls - I Heard You Say

Not much took my fancy. Probably woulda picked up The Twilight Sad/Frightened Rabbit tape if it hadn't sold out.

Leatherface

Anything John Reis

Dillinger Four

Avail

Snuff.

Snuff Said is probably one of my top five albums ever, everything else might as well be by a different band. And I quite like some of it, just never reaches the heights of that first album.

The first 7" might be my favourite ever EP, too.

Yeah, great band. Proper sleazy.

Gaza Strippers were great too.

That Leatherface tribute album on Rubber City was pretty good.

Real name:

Al. I'm minimal.

Favorite Bands:

Top 10: Leatherface, Husker Du, Otis Redding, Boards Of Canada, The Ramones, Marked Men, Milloy, The Dauntless Elite, Throwing Muses/Kristen Hersh, Guided By Voices.

The last two places tend to change a lot. The first five are pretty much set in stone.

Play in a band? Run a record label? Link us!:

Musically talentless. Organisationally inept.

I like using cinnamon rather than sugar for balancing out the acidity of tinned tomatos.
