Big white ska boy in the early eighties and have flirted off and on with various forms of reggae, dub etc just have not got any in my collection - what I did have was snaffled by a light fingered friend a few years ago.

I'll bring my 3CD Best of Ska set to the next Castle Square Market  RC! Incidently, as you like Inspiral Carpets I'll let Graham Lambert (Carpets guitarist) know - he'll be dead chuffed (He's an Oldham lad and a big OAFC supporter - once gave me a backstage pass for a big gig the Carpets were doing, I was expecting sex, drugs and rock n' roll, I should never have read that Rolling Stones biog!!)

My main other passions are (in no particular order):

Horse riding - I did have my own for a year, but sold him two years ago after his several attempts to kill me. I now ride a friend's horse every wednesday and have a lesson at the riding school at the weekend.

Reading - I'm mostly into non-fiction, although I do still enjoy Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K Dick's books. Mostly books on gardening, herbal medicine, ancient social and spiritual history (from about 6000-2000 years ago), philosophy.

Watching films - bizarre non-hollywood ones mostly.

Music - (let's see how many I can remember...)
The Beatles (later stuff)
Beethoven
Bjork
The Boards of Canada
David Bowie
David Byrne
Nick Drake
Grateful Dead
Jimi Hendrix
Jefferson Airplane
Janis Joplin
Joni Mitchel
Pink Floyd
Santana
Sedir Rose (or however it's spelt)
Shpongle
Cat Stevens
Frank Zappa
Drawing a blank now...

Photography - mostly plants and nature.

Cooking

spending time with Mr Aqui.

I used to be very nervous of horses and ponies Aqui, but with my daughter riding every weekend I have become very relaxed around them.
Another interesting list of music ...

Aqui. I so love reading can never go to sleep without reading. Even if it is 3am after a party I still have to read!! Have got two books amongst my Christmas presents...Next to you (Gloria Hunniford) Extreme (Sharon Osbourne.) .Charlie had to put up extra shelves to hold books. Have got a whole set of Readers Digest People and places (very interesting). I never throw a hard back away, Goodness knows what the kids will do with them all when I am no longer around.
Have a real varied taste in music.. from Pavarotti to Bette Middler, Tammy Wynette etc etc.
I also used to ride when the kids all had ponies. My daughter bought a horse for her girls last year, I am afraid sciatica stops me from trying to ride again.

Have you seen Noi, Albinoi Aqui?

[Jesse]

Aqui, you mentioned turning your photography enjoyment into a career recently, have you managed to take any steps towards that yet? :)

[joji]

If I listed my music list on here I would be here all day. I have over 1500 cd's, LP's and 45's still. ;D

Terrence - if that's a test of how obscure my film tastes are, I've failed. Not seen that one.

Jesse. um. er. never got around to that. Still slogging away at it amateurly. (You missed my recent plan to be a professional gardener too.)

[redimp]

One of my (and Debbie's) favourite comedies:
Volere volare

[aquilegia]

redclanger - love that one too. Haven't seen it in years, though!

[terrace max]

Terrence - if that's a test of how obscure my film tastes are, I've failed.

Please - call me Terry  ;). No tests - just hoping someone else had seen this great film...

[aquilegia]

Tel M  ;) - what's it all about? Mr Aqui is the film finder (I'm to busy searching out vegetables) - I'll have to put him onto it.

Remembered a few more bands...

Leonard Cohen
The Doors
Bob Dylan
Tom Waits

(I'm sure there were more...)

[terrace max]

Aqui, it's about an albino teenager in Iceland. It's a comedy in a sad sort of way.
