Music is probably my biggest hobby, collecting and listening to it rather than playing although I have done a bit of that in the past. Reading about it and sometimes writing about it too. I like music from all genres, the more 'out there' the better though. Currently trying to put an article together for Mojo magazine about odd proggy punk band The Cardiacs.
Along with many others on here it seems, I'm also a big reader of fiction. All sorts but my favourite author is Haruki Murukami. With regards to Sci Fi which I only seldom delve into, Iain M Banks culture novels really did it for me.
I also like writing, I contribute to a comedy based website and attempt to make the odd joke on Twitter. I'm attempting to write my own novel, but so far have taken two years and not even half way into first draft. I'm hoping that one day you may see my name in Waterstones but I will probably be an octogenarian by then.
