Biopic, Photoblog and rants

narghile bio photo 2012

So I asked Andrew to make us a bio photo to be used for promoting some gigs coming up in the not so distant future and this is what he sent me.  I really like it, I think it totally captures our aesthetic.  I somehow doubt the people asking me [...]

the obnoxiously self-indulgent end of year music list

So 2011… what a year huh? What made it so awesome?  Chaos?

On the positive side I helped bring a baby boy into this crazy world, made some pretty decent music and got a few steps closer to submitting my exegesis.

So what other music rocked my world this year?

Mr Maps – [...]

Well 9 months later, the Bellbowrie Coles reopens to the joy of local consumers.

I have to wonder why it took so long and also why we are celebrating it. Stacey and I realised it [...]

New Words for Old Magick
