Background information and interests

Aaron Williams is a wily and tempestuous character whose favourite film is Beaches. Obviously I have a sense of humour — which was just demonstrated. My actual top five favourite films are

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Fight Club
3. The Crow
4. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
5. Grass.

My major love is music, recorded, live and the culture and communities created by music. My infatuation for music began rather late occurring when I was 14. It was 1998 when I purchased my first album The Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and what an induction. The majestic artwork and the sprawling 28-songs laid the foundation of my musical education (as did the future copies of Rolling Stone, Mojo and various other musical texts). My tastes have changed and matured (a little) but the one test still determines whether or not I enjoy a particular song/album: are the hairs standing up on the back of my neck?
