Movie
Wild At Heart - a great film and the only film good film with Nick Cage in ever. Ever.

Book
I love Tin Drum by Gunter Grass. But I don't own a tin drum.

Album
Lindstrom's new album, ‘Where You Go I Go Too’, is really, really good. Go buy it.

Track
There is a track called ‘808 Melody’ by Uncle O. It's not long on melody but it's got a fair bit of 808.

"...like the internet has come to life"

Holiday destination
Japan - it's as good as people say it is. Like the internet has come to life.

Gig venue
Moles, in Bath, is an underrated little gem.

Live band/DJ
Chrome Hoof are awesome live, and they dress up funny.
