About — The basics
A person who finds meaning in small things.

England → Australia
I live and work in Perth, Western Australia. Born in England, raised in Australia, and have lived in the US and UK between 2005 and 2021. I have since returned to Perth. I have a dog named Buffy.
This page is an AI assisted window to my life — things I care about, things that have shaped me, and things that are currently living rent-free in my brain.
Music — What's on repeat
My ever "Favourite Band". Generally, they have got better with age. I have seen them a few times live, even going to Norway to see their last shows, that weren't their last
Amazing songs. Captain Jack is my favourite. Songs in the Attic is probably my favourite album, although maybe cheating as it is live, so a semi-compilation.
The Dio era specifically, although I do like the Ozzy stuff. Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath in particular.
I got into him while living in America. He is a bit "Americana"
Darkness on the Edge of Town is my favourite album.
I looked into them via their producer, Roy Thomas Baker, who produced a number of early Queeen albums.
Neil Finn is a super impressive song writer. Maybe one of the most notable of his generation. I have seen Crowded House a few times, and saw Split Enz recently (2026).
Contreversial - Hours... is a favourite album of mine. Top songs: Absolute Beginners, Teenage Wildlife, Heroes, Strangers When We Meet and Word on a Wing.
I have been to Graceland - my joint favourite tourist experience while living in the US. I really like the 1970's Elvis.
Bat Out of Hell. Total Eclipse of the Heart. Maximalist in the best way. I did shake his hand in New York in 2006. I went to a tribute night there - Bonnie Tyler did Total Eclipse of the Heart - i didn't know she was turning up, or that Jim was going to be there. I went nuts!
Sharp, smart, restless. Night and Day is sophisticated without ever being smug.
I saw them perform live at Live8 and was intrigued. I paid a scalper to see them live at Brixton Academy.... Also saw them in Atlanta once. "Read my Mind" is my favourite song of theirs.
He is a amazing! I don't actually like Sweet Caroline that much - he has much betters songs. My Grandmother liked him as well.
We share the same "birthday" - both born on November 12th.
My absolute favourite band. Queen II may be my favourite album.
Totally mad. A bit like Eurovision - but fun. I often listen to them in the gym. I did see the lead singer live at Metropolis nightclub in Perth in 2025. Maybe i will get to see them one time if i visit Europe.
MOther of Pearl is my favourite song. Maybe if you listen to them, David Bowie doesn't seem quite as revoluutionary....? Probably heresy.... Dont think they are remembered as much as they should be.
I guess Fleetwood Mac should be here. But, i really like her voice, and often it is her songs that i like the most in that partiuclar collection. Sara and Silver Springs in particularl.
Just amazing songs. I have seen Roger Hodgson perform live at the Royal Albert Hall.
Got turned on to them on the way home from the Queen Fan Club convention with Bridges Across Forever. I think i have listened to them more than any other artist since then (2001?).
I think Quadrephenia is my favourite album. Probably a bit late to the party.... Only really got into them in the 2020's....
The Dog — Most important section
Named after a slayer. Equally heroic.
Buffy is a Basset Hound of considerable gravity and even more considerable ears. She approaches life with the seriousness it deserves — which is to say, she approaches most things at a gentle trot and then lies down.
Named after the greatest vampire slayer in television history. The resemblance is mostly in the determination.
