I borrowed The Vines' magic band name generator.

Yes I play live around the UK whenever someone books me. I tend to only use my laptop although i'd like to integrate my guitars in the near future. Special moments include the time I died.

MP3's allow people all over the world to hear your music for free (usually). This allows you to capture people who you would normally not be able to talk to. File sharing is perfectly acceptable in my opinion, however a true fan of an artist would buy their record anyhow. If someone was to suggest to me an artist, I might download one song to see if I like it. I'm not going to go out and buy an entire record that I may not even like. Anyone who suggests otherwise is a tool. I am right, you are wrong.

Unlikely, this would depend on multiple factors of which I can't be arsed to detail or justify here.

I can't really remember when I first started experimenting. I first learnt using music and music 2000 for the Playstation 1. However I soon decided I wanted professional software and so acquired a copy of FL so that I could broaden my horizons. Since the late 1990's I have been making noise using such software.

Rocket from the Crypt; they first inspired me to pick up a guitar. In more recent times I have been influenced by artists such as Slayer, Scotch Egg, Paul Elstak, Scott Brown, Neophyte, Rotterdam Terror Corps, Public enemy, Atari teenage riot/Alec Empire, Venetian Snares, Antipop Consortium, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Tommyknocker, Meagashira, DJ Shitmat, Floorclearer and Ebola. For a more extensive list, visit my myspace if you really care.

Mmmmm. Tenby (Wales), Gibraltar, Croatia.

DJ The Blade works entirely on a software basis, not particularly spectacular but nevertheless it does me fine. Primarily I use FL studio pro edition, Audacity and Nero wave editor.

I may as well use this box to plug my music a bit more. You can find more up to date tuneage on my myspaz which can be found here: www.myspace.com/djtheblade

There are some free albums to download on this myspace, with another one coming soon.
