Andrew Burgess is a (self-proclaimed) struggling would-be novelist, a few years out of university and engaged in a never-ending debate with anyone who will listen about the merits of the novel as an art-form in today's increasingly digital world.
He also loves rock 'n' roll more than almost anything, and film almost as much as rock 'n' roll.
A fall day in 1995: A young Andrew puts Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run on the turntable and discovers the meaning of life. In the next few years, his rock 'n' roll education undergoes a series of dramatic zigs and zags, led by such titans of noise as Elvis Costello, The Clash and The Ramones. Later still, around the end of 2002, Burgess discovers, almost by accident, the low-fi power of Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over The Sea.
Andrew's current favourite bands are Uninhabitable Mansions, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, The Walkmen and The Stills.
As for films, he keeps coming back to these: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Big Lebowski and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.
