I'm working on two new projects.I know, two. My head is shaking as well.One is … Continue reading Into the Great Wide Open

What am I waiting for?
Floundering a bit at the moment. Turns out I'm not 100% convinced that I know what I'm going to do next. It's quite a weird feeling after years of knowing exactly what the next step was - listen to Ellie and write, rinse and repeat.Now it's wide open and could be anything and I don't … Continue reading What am I waiting for?

Bad Moon Rising
I opened the cupboards yesterday and nodded at the contents, those tins know what's what. For years I've maintained a minimum tinned/dry/whatever food level, why?BECAUSE I LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND. At any minute the earth can throw a fucking fit and up end everything. Has done before, will do again. It seems to quite like … Continue reading Bad Moon Rising
