My name is Tony Macgregor. I am num.



I have spent my life working in horrible soul destroying jobs, responding to the magnet pull of the media, watching shit television, and walking around in a daze. I've been a bin man, a shop assistant, a quilt stuffer, a dish washer, an ornament fettler, an antique dealer, a car valleter, an office boy, an IT guy, a painter and decorator, a club singer, a teddy bear salesman, a jewellery salesman, and have been terrible to average at all of them. I am the all singing all dancing scum of the earth.

I can't read or write music. I have no qualifications to speak of. I don’t understand arguments, we’re all kind of right and we’re all kind of wrong about everything. I hate how scientists and religionists “tell” you things as though they had some great understanding. It would be nice to feel all safe and secure and actually have some kind of deeper understanding but it’s all just too random. These people are at best, in selective denial and at worst, knowingly manipulating us. I hate greed, I hate pretence, I hate arrogance, and I hate that I have all those traits.

I was the only boy out of five children born to a hippy poet mother and a beatnik journalist father. I have a lot of dreams about being dead. I am average height, average weight and average shoe size. I do not light up the room. I write all my songs on buses or trains. I record alone. I don't sleep enough. I love the shipping forecast and swoon when I hear “Sailing By”. I am neurotic, obsessive and impulsive. I have a very low boredom threshold. I am disorganised at a cellular level. If you are still reading this, you now know me quite well.
