About Playlist Club-ber: Erica Packington (aka @Erica_Jane_MP )
I'm an organisation consultant with IOD Parc Ltd. I tend to focus on participatory processes - on and offline with organisations and communities. My dad wants me to do a job he can explain in one word. This job is not it.

I'm a (currently broken) roller girl, skating with the Sheffield Steel Rollergirls "B" team, The Crucibelles.

I tweet a lot (@Erica_Jane_MP) and have been involved with a couple of campaigns for free speech on the internet. I once printed out a tweet that had been ruled to be "menacing" and handed it to a highly bemused policeman. You can read about that here if you like: http://geekgirlwarriorprincess.wordpress.com/2010/11/21/i-am-spartacus/

I tried to be a goth for about 3 days in 1993 but didn't have the disposition or dedication, and still hold a candle for early 90's bouncy indiepop and shouty girls with guitars. Now I like bouncy folk. And shouty girls with guitars.
