About Me...
Hi welcome to Musicbrick.com, I'm a painter and decorator in my day job and the bloke who thought of Musicbrick.com.. just me, no big organisation just a guy with a passion for music and a blind faith in an idea, hope you can enjoy every second here..
I grew up in Liverpool during the 70s and 80s in a very normal childhood; with Tonka toys, Chopper bikes, 23 a side games of football that never ended, Meccano, Scaeletcrix, Buckaroo, games of Monopoly that lasted for three days, penny shrimps, fruit salads and space dust. ‘Loosies’ (which was being able to buy one or two cigarettes, at a time, from a local newsagent, even if you were in your school uniform; a few years back now of course) and a top thirty record chart that contained punk, disco, country, heavy rock, love songs, new wave, a capella, folk, new romantic…. the list has no bottom and yet they were all there together at the same time.
Music Tastes...
Kings of Leon, Annie lennox, White Stripes, Kate Earl, Tori Amos, Nina Simone, Beth Hart, and my dads back catalogue of blues and rock and roll
First ever record/cd you remember listening to...
I remember the words, it went; on the banks of the river, stands a ?lovely? indian brave, on the other side of the river.... and so on
First ever record/cd you remember buying...
The Police Can't stand Losing you on blue vinyl
Best live performance you’ve seen...
Nina Simone, seen her in concert in the Liverpool Philarmonic, she was fiesty and staggering in equal portions.
Live8 where Robbie Williams was just amazing
Favourite radio stations...
BBC6.co.uk
Radio 3 in Spain; because again they're not scared to play anything and they probably do more for new English music than all the radio stations in Britian and Spectrum Fm.
Costa Calida Radio in Mazarron... just superb!
Favourite music magazines and papers...
Mojo, Uncut
Worst song ever...
Splodgenessabounds; two pits of lager and a packet of crisp
