Stuff That Has Stopped Me Going Mad While Living In London

	The Family Guy Collection (Complete Series 1-3) [DVD] Buy used from: £49.99 Christ, I must have watched Family Guy hundreds of times, and I still spot stuff I've missed. Alcoholism, perversion, obscure pop culture references, death, offensive jokes - this has everything. Ace!
	HP PhotoSmart 435 - Digital camera - 3.1 Mpix - supported memory: MMC, SD I've taken loads of photos down here with this. It may not be the best camera in the world, but it's great for taking out and getting some great 'f#cked' photos.
	Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.36 The Franz have blown up big time in the last wee while. 'Cos I seen them before they were big, and used to drink in their favourite pub - I get to act all wanky about them down here. Fantastiche!
	Since We Last Spoke by Rjd2 Buy used from: £3.51 Album of the year, I swear to God. I didn't think he could top his 'DJ Shadow beating' first album, but he has. Every track is a mini masterpiece, though I think my favourite is 'Through The Walls'.
	Shaun Of The Dead [DVD] [2004] Buy new: £4.28 / Used from: £1.17 Went to see this in the cinema on my lonesome, shortly after moving down. Just a totally excellent British horror/comedy from the 'Spaced' boys. Pure. Fried. Gold.
	JPG: Japan Graphics Buy used from: £9.99 My my, this is a big-ass book. Packed solid full of wonderful Japanese graphic design. Put it on you coffee table, and wallow in the fact you look like a pretentious f#ck.
	The Unrelenting Songs of the 1979 Post Disco Crash by Jason Forrest Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £2.98 I've ordered this from loads of different sites - and no one has any stock! Grrr! Not so much keeping me sane, as almost setting me off everytime I see another website that claims to have it. Arse.
	Brass Eye - Series And Special [DVD] [1997] Buy used from: £7.99 Chris Morris' satirical cerrent affairs show. Utter genius. Watch the Special, and weep tears of disbelief as 'stars' make pricks of themselves.
	The Day Today : Complete BBC Series (2 Disc Set) [1994] [DVD] Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £5.15 Chris Morris' anti-news news show. FACT INTO DOUBT WON'T GO.
	Who Still Kill Sound by Kid606 Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £4.29 Even Kid 606's 'odds and ends' make your ears happy. Collection of remixes and tracks left off his last album. Some heavy hitting stuff, and also a lovely wee tune much like the 'Why I Love Life EP'.
	What Is Mr. Winkle? (Step Back in Time with Mr. Winkle) by Lara Jo Regan Buy used from: £1.18 This is the most bizarre, f#cked up thing I have seen. A poor wee dog (?), always with his tongue out, dressed up in ridiculous outfits. A kid's book? What? Truly the work of a deranged mind.
	Chewing on Glass & Other Miracle Cures by Sixtoo Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £4.50 Oo oo, Sixtoo's gone all Godspeed. I've been a big fan for ages - the man pumps out a hell of a lot of albums, but this is his first for Ninja Tune. Very dark and moody, not at all 'hip-hoppy'. Quite.
	Black Books Series 1-3 Box Set [DVD] [2000] Buy used from: £13.33 Dylan Moran is comedy genius, a modern drunkard that we can, and should, enjoy on a regular basis. You'll laugh, by God you'll laugh.
	Devin Dazzle and the Neon Fever by Felix da Housecat Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £5.91 I was quite into the whole 'electroclash' thing for a while, so Felix'll always have a place in my heart. While this may not be the most fashionable album at the moment, it's good fun.
	The Filth by Grant Morrison Buy new: £8.46 / Used from: £6.14 Very surreal comic book. A kind of 'Lynchian sci-fi' where the reality we see is just the tip of a massive, sh#tty iceberg. This book is responsible for getting me back into comics.
	Ichi the Killer - 3 Disc Special Collectors Box [DVD] by Ichi the Killer Buy used from: £13.96 I simply adore this film. It's totally bonkers. If you've seen any other Takashi Miike stuff before you'll be pretty sure what to expect. Bloody, comic book violence.
	The Lemon of Pink by The Books Buy used from: £18.50 Weird little album that dreamily floats from (I don't even know if you can call some of them this) song to song. Lazy Sunday afternoon music.
	Maryland Mansions by Cex Buy new: £11.69 / Used from: £3.60 I've had this Cex album for a wee while now, and it's still a great listen. I'm literally dying for him to bring out something new, anything.
	Spaced - Definitive Collectors' Edition [DVD] Buy new: £8.38 / Used from: £9.99 This has got to be my favourite sitcom ever. It's just so... perfect. The zombie episode, the Phantom Menace references, the mad mad characters, the sly homages to popular films, it's just awesome.
	Say My Name: A Guide to Fashion Tees: A Guide to Fashion Tees (Wolf Star) by Tracy West Buy used from: £5.97 Haha! How rubbish does that book look? It's only there to illustrate that buying T-shirts is one of the other main things that has kept my sanity. Lovely, lovely T-shirts. Camden, here I come.
	Bandai Badge It! Badge Maker Buy new: £52.25 I actually have one of these, but I've left it up in Glasgow. It's pretty good, but you canny beat going out and buying obscure badges from wherever you can find them. I have sh#tloads. Sad, sad man.
	MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.48 Truly amazing album - I've listened to it more down here than at any other point in my life. Make of that what you will.
	Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2) Buy new: £11.99 / Used from: £2.98 Knowing that I'll soon be able to while away the weeks, wasting my life playing someone elses - magic. Edit -- I have this now. Woooooooooo
	The Book of Fuck by Ben Myers Buy new: £8.49 / Used from: £4.32 I have no idea what this is, but I'm a little pissed off that Amazon won't let me swear on this list, and I have some space - so I've included it. Hehe.
