Music… In my teens it was a big deal but now I kinda don’t care for it… Save for a few bands I’ll religiously follow (Muse, Radiohead, Biffy). But film and television are predominantly ‘my bag’ these days, so I’m rarely found reading Q Magazine or checking out gig listings as much as I used to.
But, I am a multi-faceted, complex and weird human being. And sure, I do enjoy music now – however I don’t believe it’s a defining attribute to my life or personality.
Anyway, here’s a gateway into my musical preferences. My favourite 20 songs of all time… And yes, they’re in order…
