Your personal soundtrack?
Weird shit. well, I say that...I like psychedelic things. Lots of Dungen recently. I just picked up this amazing compilation of West African Psych from the 1970's. I don't know, typically anything which makes me sound extra cool. Like right now, someone is saying "West African Psych...who is this dickhead?" and you know, that's cool. Clearly I need to update the catalogue. Psych is sooo 2007.

Star sign?
Libra.

Your style icon?
Norman Rockwell.

What do you do or what would you like to do when you grow up?
I used to want to be an architect. Working in photography at the moment, with some music on the side. I'd like my epitaph to include some shocking/confusing fact, like "First Runner Up, Champion Goat Handler, Comal County Fair, 2031". Or even something simple like "Inappropriately intoxicated whilst in the company of the Duke and Dutchess of York. Additionally, urinating publicly in a Royal fountain." Something like that.
