Pop Get's Interesting.

The best thing to happen to the music business is the recession! In the last year we have seen the gain of independent record companies, and bands back out on the road making money the old way: from live shows! Lot's of new interesting  music about. Here's the new video from Monarchy, one of my favourite new comers of 2010.

What Shade Are You?

Society likes to keep everything simple... It makes us feel safe. But the human psychee is so complex, is it really possible to break down sexuality into black and white? We grow up surrounded by images of what's "normal" and when we start to feel something other than that, we either try to deny and surpress those feelings, or we push to the other extreme of the pole and find confort in an identity there. But aren't there a million other shades of grey in the sprectrum between black & white, or gay and straight?
Although it is widely accepted in a woman, bisexuality in a man is much more of a taboo subject, and is often dismissed by both gay and straight people alike. I have to say, I feel absolutely comfortable in my sexuality as a gay man, and could not see myself in a relationship with a woman... But recently I found myself in a threesome with a man (also gay) and a woman. It was totally unplanned, and definitely aided by the copious amounts of champagne & tequila consumed; but in the moment I let go to what was happening, and absolutely enjoyed myself.
By the time morning came, and I had sobered up, I did feel a moment of embarassment and regret about what happened, feeling again the pressures of society to fall into a certain stereotype. But instead of hold onto that, we laughed about it, and here I am writing about it. I wonder how much freer we would all feel about sexuality if we weren't imposed certain standards as normaily? What shade would you fall into?

Just like Dev, I like my beats fast, and my bass down low. She is spunky and has natural attitude. I hope we hear a lot more from her in the future!! This blows the socks off Jessie J's "Do It Like A Dude", over-rated and void of personality. Check out the Aier Sauft Remix which is rather fierce!

Is a picture worth a thousand words?

Like many of my generation, for a while I surcame to the quick fix of online dating. I tried a few different sites, some were more "date" orientated, others definitely more sexual. All left me equally deluded. How many hours I lost browsing pictures, initiating forced conversations, and going on awkward dates where invariably I would make an excuse to get away ASAP. The old adage says a picture is worth a thousand words, but pictures also tell a thousand lies. No matter how attractive or confident someone would appear in photo, I rarely found this the case in real life. I think the most important thing when you meet someone is the unknowing, unplanned chemistry... You either click or you don't. And you feel it straight away. It's a glance, it's a scent. No photo's or words can ever take the place of that raw animal instinct we call attraction. I have since removed all profiles, and have gone back to meeting potential dates the old fashioned way... Face to face.

Introduction.

I'm a 28 year old, single gay man, living in the big bad city of London. After two years here, the quest for love continues, but a lot of fun to be had along the way. I sing, write and make music. I also manage an Italian menswear brand, although in actual fact I don't really know much about fashion, but I do know about looking good. This blog will be a small glimpse into my life, and my likes. Enjoy, or be shocked, the choice is yours.
