Aloha! My name is Jake Thomas Paul McCall and I am a 21 year old male living in Canberra Australia. I'm currently studying mathematics at the Australian national university. On this page I'll share some of my interests with you, and hopefully you can share some of your interests with me :)

Music

"Have you heard of the arctic monkey?"

Music is a lot of fun, and there's so much of it to discover! Here are some of the albums I enjoy (arranged by genre). I hope you find something you enjoy in here. If you have an album you think I would enjoy I'd love to hear from you.

Avant rock

• The United States of America- Self titled. A album full of so many fleeting moments of musical perfection
• Slap Happy- Acnalbasac noom. Really good naive/ Kraut rock. There's also a re-recording which is less raw-sounding
  

Hip hop

• Madvillain- Madvillainy. Just so good
• Milo- things that happen at day. I strongly relate to the emotions and images Milo expresses. Truly the voice of a generation, would recommend "almond milk paradise"
  
• Death Grips- Exmilitary. All their albums are good, but I know all the words to this one and when I put it on I always have to listen all the way through

Krautrock

• Can- Future days. All Can is good, and Future days is great. It's just so funky. My favourite song of all time is "Future days"
• Brainticket- Cottonwood Hill. Extremely phychedelic.
• Neu!-Self titled. Neu are a really classic Krautrock band, I think they have a really nice industrial-ness to thier sound

Lo-Fi

• Neutral Milk Hotel- ITAOTS. Ok so I am a hipster. But it's such a great album. It's the quaulity of the poetry on this album that keeps me coming back
• The Microphones- The Glow pt.2. Despite the name, the microphones is actually one guy. Check out "I felt your shape"
  

Post-rock/Math rock

• Slint-Spiderland. Really good, vividly despressing. Would recommend "good morning captain"
• American football- Americ
                                an football. Only real emos will understand

Shoegaze/dream pop

• My Bloody Valentine- Loveless. A classic, everyone loves loveless
•  Swirlies- Blonder Tongue Audio Baton. A really fun album with an ecclectic feel, would recommend "Pancake"
• Asobi Seksu- Citrus. super nice dream pop, feels like dream J-pop, would recommend "Thursday"
• Sweet Trip- Velocity : Design : Comfort. Changed my world when I heard it, and I haven't heard anything the same since.

Social commentary

I'm more than just a pretty face; I also have a lot of opinions on current social issues. Even though I'm a millenial, I'm not completely absorbed by modern technology. Sometimes I feel like I should of been born in a different generation!

Tragic

The outdoors

I love to explore the outdoors! There are so many cool things to see in the world, and there's nothing like the warmth of the sun on your face. I have seen lots of very cool things, but haven't taken many very cool photos as I'm often "caught up in the moment". But here's a photo of me and my friend Leo.

Leo is one of the coolest old people I know- he's a lawyer and in the army reserves! This photo was taken when we placed second in a rogaine at Wingello, NSW. A rogaine is like a big treasure-hunt in the bush. One day I want to win a rogaine and get a rogaine championship mug. Some of my friends have rogaine championship mugs and they're really nice.

Skateboarding

I like to skateboard. I want to upload a picture of me doing a kickflip here, but I'm still learning how to do tricks. I have sprained my wrist and my ankle this year skateboarding. I like to live on the edge. I have two skateboards: a long board that my brother leant me- he made it himself; and a short board my radical friend Lachlan gave me. I hope I can upload some movies of me doing tricks soon! Stay tubular friends!

Update: I still can't do any sick tricks, but I have this cool picture of my on my shortboard

I wanted to write about some of my baking here, but I think I'll wait till I make something later this week and I can upload some pictures of it!

I found this image on google images after searching for cute sharks
