heya, my name is sam xxxxx, im a first year student at the university of
kent (im in 1xx farthings court parkwood), i was jsut browsing through

their pc!

love dronevil by boris!)

Dizzee Rascal (not massivly into hip-hop but i adore this guy-jezabel(sp?)
is my fave)

was the older eld-era stuff)

dakota (sp?) off disk 1)
Modest Mouse (about as lo-fi as you can get:))

distorted effects on the lead guitar on that album)

everything by them i love(bar possibly pain of mind))

love pretty hate machine, like a naughty pet shop boys ;))

in a good way!))

seriousness beneath the playfulness, awesome)

lowery theatre and it was so good a guy was crying all the way through in

guitar sound, makes me dance like a madman!)

Swans (my band and i played a venue once where the sound was done by swans'
road sound manager, he was a wanker but the sound was amazing!(just
