GEEK @ THE LAUNDRY (202 JOHNSON STREET, FITZROY) EVERY FRIDAY.

21 year old Melbournian. Completed Bachelor of Media Studies/Journalism in 2004 and currently working 9-5. Which kind of sucks, even though I love my job. Aspirations to join the Nova breakfast team and bring my vinyl collection with me in an attempt to get them to stop playing Anthony Callea's single.

More than a slight interest in TISM, Weezer, Rocket From The Crypt, Radiohead, The Darkness, Badly Drawn Boy, Pavement, Blues Explosion, The Futureheads, Kaiser Chiefs, Art Brut, Sloan, Death From Above 1979, Your Wedding Night, Spod, MGF, Teenage Fanclub, The Libertines, Les Savy Fav, Devo, Mclusky, The Pixies, Pretty Girls Make Graves, The Flaming Lips, Har Mar Superstar, Nancy Vandal (R.I.P), Electric Six, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, Gonzales, Ozma, Le Tigre, The Polyphonic Spree, Scissor Sisters, The Scare, Piebald, The Grates, Architecture In Helsinki, Electric Soft Parade, Snap! Crakk!, Bit By Bats, Peaches, Love Like... Electrocution, Sleater Kinney, Origami, White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, David McCormack & The Polaroids, The Mint Chicks, Razorlight et al.

Secret weapon: encyclopedic knowledge of contemporary British comedy (including many quotes from The Office, Little Britain & Monty Python - geek alert), Geelong Football Club, pubs in Melbourne's northern suburbs and eBay.

Avid NME tragic with a firm understanding of each "next big thing" band from 2002-current.

I prefer Use Your Illusion I to Use Your Illusion II.
