Jude lives and works in Cambridge - the work involving running an online
record store with her husband (Rhythm Online), and the living involving
loads of gig-watching, music-listening and review-writing.
Her musical
lusts, crushes and true loves, over the years, have included 10cc (that
embarrassing first love), Japan, Human League, Soft Cell, The Smiths,
Nirvana, Pavement, The Lemonheads, Pulp, The Libertines, The Datsuns, Art
Brut, The Shins and oh so many more.
Current favourites include everything
from a bit of dancey Krautrock from the likes of Errors and Holy Fuck; some
good old jangly indie from The Wave Pictures and M.J. Hibbett and The
Validators; twisted alt.country from The Broken Family Band (good local
Cambridge lads); and the downright gorgeousness of Fleet Foxes. She thinks
that Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is quite possibly
the best album ever made, but hopes that someone out there is going to
match, or beat it soon.
Outside of music (there's a life outside of music? Eek!) she enjoys
gym-going and cake-making. She has two baby step-gradchildren, and likes to
kid herself that she looks waaaay to young for this to be the case. If you
see her, humour her on this point... She also feels a bit daft when writing
about herself in the third person."
