well, lets see, I currently live in melbourne, australia and when not collecting records, I'm working under the disguise of an art director/designer. Im slightly obsessed with music, silly randomness, travelling and the love of my friends. I live for the sunshine, beautiful sounds, the taste of mango, adventures with my amazing girl, nice port and lazy days... that and and the hope that one day a large friendly whale will wisk me away into the ocean and show me a strange and fascinating upside down world where everything is not as it seems - because it is strange and upside down and large smiling whale took me there.
