I'm a music-obsessive cartoonist with a short attention span.
For real updates on what's happening with me, dig my Livejournal at:

Here's a playlist mostly filled with songs I have already featured or am planning to insert into Blue Monday. (For the record, the series mainly takes place in the early-mid '90s, in case you were wondering if I listen to modern music as well. I do, I swear it!)
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Who I'd like to meet:
The Cramps
Jarvis Cocker; AIR; Charlotte Gainsbourg
Damon Albarn; Jamie Hewlett
Riverbottom Nightmare Band
Sometimes, I wish my High School years were filled with as much manic ska-hormone-drama as Blue Monday. Sadly, I bought my two-tone spectators and three-button suit right after the brief period of temporary relevance they had, and now people ask me if I'm a gangster or someone from The Blues Brothers. I say "Neither. I'm an art-deco steampunk Doctor Who extra from an unreleased episode where all the cybermen turned into 50's G-Men and they assimilated people by putting porkpie hats on their heads. "
COME ON UP TO THIS AND I'LL GIVE YOU A BELATED B-DAY PRESENT!
