I have SO much to write here, but unfortunately I also have so much to write in the real world as well!
I've taken on a project so huge that it takes every evening away from me in some form or another.
BUT I couldn't be happier right now!

For anyone that I haven't spouted off to, my project is being one of two content...

Does anyone else get to the stage with their blog where they've left it for so long there's a million things to say and it gets to the I just can't be arsed! stage??

We've had adventures, tasted wine, eaten a...

Buying the 'A Very Long Engagement' soundtrack from ebay may just have been one of my very best decisions.
Beautiful ,beautiful, beautiful.

I spent a very fine evening with some very fine folks tonight.
Also, lots of very nice things were said to me and some exciting prospects reared their heads.

I thought I'd post as a way to occupy my brains whilst I'm stuck in Gloucester helping my parents move house.

This week has been a mixed bag.
We finally went to Foundry's home studio to lay down some An Axe tunes. We did three and they went ruddy bloody well. Ship came out supercharged but still sounding justice and Island...

I got the freaking job!
As Zamuzel put it "It's good you went for all those other jobs, y'know, just in case...."

Last Night's Dream

I have an interview at Zavvi. I'm pretty sure I'll et it cuz I worked for Virgin for two years.
I sit down in front of this lady who I assume is the manager and a younger guy who just seems to be a cashier type.
She says "This interview will comprise of a short discussion, followed by a test."
She has...

So I was just walking home after escorting theknives to the train station when an interesting encounter took place.
As I approached the tiny pub on the corner, the one that always belches a stale smell of sawdust and old beer into the street and is open at 9am, I saw a couple of people standing outside. Not uncommon now that the smoking ban is...

It's pretty early in the AM but I just had to document the strangeness of my sleeping brainmeats last night.
I know sometimes there's nothing worse than hearing someone chat on and on about their oh so crazy dreams but these were pretty damn special.
Sometimes I love my subconscious...

DREAM A: I am visiting the house of a partially sighted workmate of mine....

Well, all the well wishing and finger crossing from you guys seemed to work, so thanks!

For those who I haven't told yet, the secret special project I was undertaking was a demo show of a podcast for GWR (local radio for folks not in the Bristol area) about Bristol music.
GWR contacted the magazine I write for after reading a piece I'd written about...
