For my sins, I have recently graduated from Durham University with a BA in Music and am now desperately trying to become a real taxpaying citizen (see – ‘Despatches from The Welfare Office’).

Lest I am offered a job at The Quietus within the next six months, I will likely return to university to obtain an MA in Something or Other. In the meantime, this space should act as a mental landfill for the tangential, referential, and inconsequential.

The central interest I wish to explore here lies in the role of power, especially as it manifests itself in culture and technology. Alongside this, I occasionally engage in pseudonymised ide-odysseys, but the less I write about these the better.

Away from this old ball-and-chain, I enjoy hitchhiking, playing pool, and leaning on windowsills.
