Custom title
Its 'cos I'm fat and have big earlobes, ok? Oh, and I'm actually called Bud.
Interests
Fine Cuisine - but generally not the overrated French stuff
Favourite books
Red Harvest - Dashiell Hammett; most Iain Sinclair and Phillip Kerr, some Conrad and probably too much Banana Yoshimoto
Favourite films
King Of New York, Dr.Mabuse, Sonatine, Braindead, Ascenseur pour l'echafaud... basically most of the original films that get pastiched by that worthless twat Quentin. If he ever tries to re-make "Les Enfants du Paradise" in any shape or form he's a dead man. There are limits and I will serve the time...
Age
30 - 39
Music
Yep, it's good when it's not generic. My favourite song today is Fotografia off "A Day in New York" by Moerlenbaum2 and Ryuichi Sakamoto; yesterday it was "Salad Days" by the Young Marble Giants, the day before it was Ellen Allien's Fabric #34 mix. Go figure.
Dislikes
Questionnaires (particularly psychometric testing), Non-Scientific beliefs/Irrationality as a ideology, People who read Wiki rather than books - take the time, you'll be okay for it later, Anarchists who only listen to punk or ska or, even worse, punk-ska because they believe its genuine in some way, 99.99% of Celebrities

What do your politics mean to you?

The retaliation of humanity against the organised mediocrity of the increasingly commodified niche-status of personality; the only definition of your value worth having is that of yourself and your social circle.

Favourite thinkers
Gramsci - Prison Notebooks, Marx - Grundrisse, Marx - Most pre-1848 stuff, Vaneigem - The Revolution Of Everyday Life, Ratgeb (Vaneigem) - The Book of Pleasures, De Sade - The Philosophy of the Boudoir
Favourite political books

Comrades re-united - political groups you were a member of
Listing an eclectic grouping of failed movements isn't a positive act; if I wanted contact with ex-activists or partners I'd be on fakebook.
