personal bio
Played drums my whole life.
Wasted my whole life.
notable events
My band split up this year in the most text-book fashion possible; cliche-tastic. Got Bioshock. Restrung my guitar. Saw Tool. Spent the year working a 3 1/2 day week. Taught some fucking appalingly bad drum pupils, so bad that you have to say “seriously dude, I don’t want your money”. Ouch. Ah well.

Nice beard….you after Santi’s crown??
Lor3-16 • 9 Nov 2007 @ 11:31 GMT
You look totally not how i imagined you to look like.
Elukka • 9 Nov 2007 @ 13:05 GMT
What styles of music did your band play? Looks folk(ish)
Ira Aduro • 9 Nov 2007 @ 15:24 GMT
Hey dude! I haven’t talked to you in forever! Sucks to hear about the band thing…it happens I suppose. How are things going musically otherwise though?

Man, I want hair like that. too bad my own grows into an afro if I leave it to flourish…..
vlad • 9 Nov 2007 @ 17:20 GMT
Waste? there is a cute chick eying you in that pic!
Trinity • 9 Nov 2007 @ 18:00 GMT
That cute chick was the singer (just popping over right now to cook her dinner in fact
) and we were just having a late-night acoustic jam at that point. Prog-rock was the real music.

I didn’t know you were in Manc-chester Octo. That pic looks like it was taken about 20 years ago!
El Russo • 9 Nov 2007 @ 18:42 GMT
cooking dinner ftw!
Ira Aduro • 9 Nov 2007 @ 22:34 GMT
Music and progamming don’t mix. Trust me, I’ve tried
Manchester, huh? Not that far from Birmingham . . .
Gorb • 10 Nov 2007 @ 03:09 GMT
True that.
Programming made me abandon my bass guitar.
c# and Java are teh evil…
vlad • 10 Nov 2007 @ 09:40 GMT
HI, OCTO!!!
totally awesome pic… it looks so 70s
Laura • 15 Nov 2007 @ 20:03 GMT
Hippies went out of fashion like…30 years ago dude
AshaD • 15 Nov 2007 @ 21:13 GMT
Hair maketh not the hippy. Hippies are free-loading, liberty-taking, work-shy bastards that spew all kinds of bullshit free-love rhetoric.
I’m surprised no-one’s gone for the old classic “ZOMG you look like Jesus” gag. I still get that in the street from total strangers.
Long hair is awesome fun (it covers my ears which stick out). The beard is just out of laziness.
Octopus Rex • 16 Nov 2007 @ 20:23 GMT
Perhaps the drums also help with the hippy look, not just the beard and hair.. But what do i know ?
Imperial Dane • 21 Nov 2007 @ 10:52 GMT
Jesus probably didn’t wear glasses though.
Moe • 21 Nov 2007 @ 11:46 GMT
Hey, don’t tell me! Tell the rest of the world Moe!
I even got called Jesu Christo and laughed at when in Mexico. Ah well. I just like whinging about really, it makes me feel all warm, fuzzy and Emo.
Octopus Rex • 22 Nov 2007 @ 22:43 GMT
you weren’t by any chance in Cardiff seeing Bill Bailey live were you? I swear I saw someone just like you there…
Grabnutz • 30 Nov 2007 @ 12:30 GMT
Hey, did anybody ever tell you that you look like that one guy? Oh, come on… you know his name.
Eh, whatever.
