.:Fashion:.
Describe your style of clothing: Insane, scruffy and mad.

Favourite places to shop? The larger HMV branches.
What kind of shoes do you wear? My b&w Adidas.
Favourite outfit? Dunno.
Accessories [watch, hat, etc.]? Russian wedding ring that I got for my birthday years ago and my cross are permanent accessories. Purple Baby-G watch stays in my bag. That's about it.
Wear makeup? Rarely if ever.
Nailpolish? Occasionally. It's something I do if I'm having real trouble sleeping, so it's strange I don't have it more often.
Do you own anything plaid? Plaid is checked/tartanesque, right? I have some purple pj bottoms. That's it. Not a 'plaid' person.

Tye dyed? Used to.
Leopard print? Do I look like Peter Fucking Stringfellow to fucking you?

.:Music:.
Favourite female singer/band: At the moment, Julie London. Honourable mentions to Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
Favourite male singer/band: "Can of worms. Open. Everywhere". Dean Martin. John Lennon. Jim Morrison. Robert Plant. George Harrison. Nat King Cole. Sammy Davis Jr. Harry Connick Jr. Frank Sinatra. Bob Dylan. Roger Daltrey. Jackie Wilson. Buddy Holly. Marvin Gaye. David Bowie. Philip Lynott. The dude from the Dubliners. OK, that's the singers. Bands: Beatles. Doors. Zeppelin. Thin Lizzy. Stones. The Who. This isn't even close to a comprehensive list.
Favourite song: Fuck off.
Favourite genre of music: Rock and roll, I guess.
Best concert/show you went to: 13/3/2000, Harry Connick, Jr. at the Royal Albert Hall. The band swung hard for 2 and a half hours.
Worst concert/show you went to: Ant n Dec, also Royal Albert Hall. I was 15 and we went because there was nothing else to do in the world. They sucked, as you can imagine. Thank the Lord they're TV presenters now instead.
What's your view on pop music?: Sometimes great pop happens, but it doesn't happen often. Pop per se is not a bad thing, but most of the people making it are, ergo, shite.
Rap? Well, I like hip-hop (the two aren't quite the same thing) but it's not a huge part of my life.
Rock? Nah, not so much.
Punk? Some punk. The Clash, not the Pistols. The Stranglers, not the Damned.
SKA? Is this written as if it's an anacronym? I LOVE ska, however, if you're talking the 60s/70s ska revival stuff by guys like the Specials (LOVE THEM) and the Beat.
New Age? I rarely like anything with New in the title. And this is not the exception.
Country? No. Fuck you no, ESPECIALLY if it is the EVIL that is bluegrass.
Heavy Metal? By whom? Zeppelin and Lizzy could be called heavy metal, and I love them. Really, I dig 70s heavy rock like the Zep and Lizzy, but the 80s hair bands make me want to die. Dave Lee Roth NOT sexy NOT cool NOT talented.
Singer/band you can't stand: Phil Collins. Britney. Christina. Justin. Celine Dion. I second Ali's Barry Manilow suggestion. Michael Buble. Russell Watson. Oasis. Westlife. Boyzone. Take That. Spice Bints. There are many, many more.
Favourite movie soundtrack: Dunno really. Actually, I do know. A Hard Day's Night.
Do you watch MTV? I'm a Vh1 Classic person.
What is the oldest group/singer you listen to? Hmm... It would be easier to figure out the youngest, which is probably HCJ by a long way. Oldest is probably Enrico Caruso, but as I've only got 'La Donna e Mobile' by him it probably doesn't sound. Sinatra was born 1915, so he's got the edge on Dean by two years. But then there's all the guys born turn of the century like Crosby and Satch and the Duke and the jazz guys I like. Let us just say that of my most favourites, Dean Martin was born 1917 and so the eldest.
Favourite radio station? I don't listen to radio much, because it rarely plays the stuff I like. When I'm home, Capital Gold, 1548am is the best, but you can't get it all that far out of London.
