Books: My fave fiction novel is 'The Stars' Tennis Balls' by Stephen Fry but I mainly love biographies and autobiographies. I've read many including Stephen Fry again, David Sylvian, Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, Zappa, Robert Crumb, Tony Hancock, John Lydon, Frank Skinner and many more. I also love self help books which I know aren't everyone's cup of tea but I think are wonderful. The people who could really benefit are usually the people run them down and say they're rubbish even though they've never read one. My fave is Anthony Robbins but I also like Paul McKenna, Wayne Dyer and others.

Movies: my tastes in most things are quite sad. Fave movies include Goodfellas, Leon, The Number 23, any Star Wars, any Rocky (except 5 and possibly 4), Snatch, Raging Bull, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Kill Bill, the Usual Suspects, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Stigmata, True Romance, Crumb, Donnie Brasco. On TV I love Tony Hancock, Shelley, Still Game,Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Brass Eye and the Day Today, Nathan Barley, Bottom, Filthy Rich and Catflap, Steve Coogan, Dr Who, Green Wing, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Phoenix Nights. Too many to mention

Music: David Sylvian is my hero but I also love Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson. I adore Prince. Tears for Fears (when Curt Smith left), the Beatles, Madonna, Frank Zappa was God and an utter Genius!!! Talk Talk, The Sundays, Elbow, Black, I'll add some more when they come to me.....

Hobbies: As I've already mentioned, I love music and reading/writing. I cycle to keep fit (ish), I love Indian food, watching TV, spending time with my wife and kids, seeing friends... oh the list goes on.

God. What do you say about yourself on these things? I'm 37, married, 2 kids and generally happy and content in life. I love to laugh, i adore music, films, reading, writing and singing and have a go at playing any musical instrument I can get my hands on. Saying that, I'm no good on any of them but love trying.

self-penned track by ABSTRACTION. This is our most recent song performed as the opener to our set last May. A very stripped down and different song for us but we think it works really well.

live version of another track from Joe's 1986 album 'Big World'. Being from the UK I'm not sure what show is from but I'm guessing the show is called 'Night Life'. Features Tom Teeley on guitar, gary Burke on drums and Rick Ford on bass. Hope you enjoy it. JOE JACKSON...
live version of the opening track from Joe's 1986 album 'Big World'. Being from the UK I'm not sure what show is from but I'm guessing the show is called 'Night Life'. Not the best version of this track in my opinion but if it's Joe and if it's live then it's always worth a look. Joe looks unhappy thoughout and shakes his head at the end but this is probably due to the loud squeal of feedback followed by silence so my guess is he's pissed at the sound guys. Features Tom Teeley on guitar, gary Burke on drums and Rick Ford on bass. Hope you enjoy it. JOE JACKSON -...
'Steppin' Out' performed live at the Sydney State Theatre in September 1991. I saw Joe on this tour (for the first time) at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham UK in May of the same year. You normally save your biggest hits for the end of the show but Joe just came out alone, sat at the piano and sang this. It was one of the stand out moments of my life I won't forget. He sang and played it so beautifully that I started to cry. I'd never seen or heard anything so perfect until then. The voice and the piano made me shiver (I can feel it again as I type this). How can music do this? it can touch you in a way you can't explain. I've looked for this on youtube before without success so I've uploaded it for you. Watch, listen and enjoy Joe Jackson Live...

What Are You Doing New Years Eve? by Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since. When we did...
