   About Alex and his Laptop
Alex formed sometime circa 1983 in a comfy, safe haven. Shortly after, he was ejected screaming into a harsh, cruel world and has been attempting to rediscover that sense of warmth and comfort ever since. His struggles manifest themselves in decidedly overactive electronic music, bass/guitar/things that make noise, weird installations and gizmos, and a tendancy to talk about himself in the third person to strangers.

I came here to play your songs, but my computer won't let me. That's why I hate it.
I still love you, though xxx

Hey Alex,

Sorry for the delay - I never look at Myspace much. Hope you had a nice festive break. Heard you met up with Dave Lamb. I still haven't been back to Glasgow which sucks a bit. Glad to see you are still making tunes! Roddy

Oct 25 2007 6:14 AM

Why, yes! For some reason I thought I might catch you at The Boredoms, but no luck. I'm busy like a bee pretty much every night until the middle of November, so during the daytime would suit me better...
