Ex-Tabula Rasa

I shall try to define myself in a sentence with a pithy comment at the end:
I'm just an English bloke who lives in Canada after marrying a Canadian lady he met while living in Japan. Yeah, that old cliché.

Shameless Self-Promotion:
My utterly hilarious blog is here
And another one is here

Wow! I'm on Twitter now!
Averaging three stars a tweet since the death of Favrd!

Still Want More?
Email me for fun and frolics*! My address goes along the lines of Japanese (dot) smoth (@) gmail (dot) com. *Actual ratio of fun to frolics may vary.

In March 2009, former Stone Roses guitarist John Squire created the above work of art and said “I’d rather live my life than attempt to rehash it. Even if [Stone Roses vocalist] Ian [Brown] and I were still double dating as we did in our teens then the prospect of a reunion wouldn’t interest me at all.”  On the day he released it I posted it to my Tumblr and added: “John Squire kills the rumours of a Stone Roses reunion tour. I shed a guilty tear, knowing that I’d love to see them live, but accept that they’d almost certainly be shit.” Today the Stone Roses - one of my favourite bands when I was about 16 - announced their reunion, and my thoughts have not changed one bit.

My First Gig

Oasis, Knebworth, 1996. Britpop’s zenith, 150,000 people in a field singing along to Champagne Supernova. John Squire from the Stone Roses making a guest appearance and us not realising because we were too far back (even though when we looked at an overhead photo of the concert afterwards we were actually within the closest 25% of the people to the stage).

Support acts: Manic Street Preachers, The Charlatans (UK), Kula Shaker, Dreadzone. Such heights. Such great heights.
