rpmarkham
I am married with a son, Matt (born 1992) and live in a smallish town in the south of the UK. I commute about 30m to work for a small firm of accountants, but spend much of my spare time trawling for and listening to music. I also like watching football (support Reading FC), cinema and TV, a bit of gardening and DIY on our old house.
Favorite Artists
I love many artists but 10 of those I keep returning to are Catherine Feeny (my favourite singer), Daniel Ward-Murphy, Julia Marcell, Tom Petty, Ozzy Osbourne (as Blizzard of Oz) Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Wire, Can.
Favorite Albums
"Red" by King Crimson; "Chairs Missing" and "Pink Flag" by Wire; "Hurricane Glass" by Catherine Feeny; anything 1973-79 by Hawkwind; "Highway Companion" by Tom Petty; "Blizzard of Oz"; "Meddle" by Pink Floyd, "Best of Can"
Favorite Songs
Too many to mention - give me a while and I may fill this in.
Favorite Venues
Zodiac (Oxford), Anvil (Basingstoke). Not very well travelled I'm afraid.

Street Cred: 2501
Rec's: 219
“Has a fresh, punchy stripped down feel like old fashioned garage rock of yore. I really like the wordy, intelligent "stream of consciousness" lyrics, they remind me of The Smiths.”

“Spiky, energetic and in your face with clever lyrics which come at you fast.
I too recommend the EPs even if I can only access them through Napster - especially liking the wit of Mr Schonke from their 2007 eponymous debut collection.”

Track: Transcendentalism is Like Wow!
(
$0.22
)
Album: Endless Fields of Poppy
Artist: The Curiously Strong Peppermints
“Just had to be able to say I own "Transcendentalism is Like Wow" by The Curiously Strong Peppermints, however crap it might be. Pleasantly surprised with the bonus that it's really good. Maybe like if the Beatles had amalgamated with Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd to produce psych music that makes some sense.”

“Stream of consciousness on modern life set to a swirling minimal backing of strings piano and barely recognisable guitar. Hypnotic, a little disturbing and totally gripping. The first classical rap?”
