Here’s another song for you- The Song is the Single by Barr. It originally came out when I was at university, and then ten years later, Brendan did a show at Power Lunches out of the blue, because he was in town for an art event anyway…
Nuns contemplating Dog
I took some press shots of “”pineal-poking punked-up psychedelic speedfreaks” Casual Nun at Dreamland when they came down to Margate to play a gig recently. While everyone’s back was turned, Iraklis won a huge toy dog from a sideshow on the first attempt.
Tumbleweed
I’ve been out of action for the last ten days after a stage light fell from a shelf onto my head and I was left with concussion and back injuries…
HI STRANGER
This is the creepiest animation I’ve seen in a long time. I love it. The youtube comments are split between people being creeped out and finding it soothing. I’m in the creeped out camp- stop trying to glom onto me with your love, sneaky plasticine man. I don’t know you. Here’s some other interesting links too:
Kleenex- Nice
So next up, Nice by Kleenex. (Who later had to rename themselves Liliput after pressure from the tissue company). Infectious early 80s Swiss post-punk.
Bedgebury Park
In which I explore an abandoned boarding school in 2012 while going through some very hard times.
Over the Edge- Wipers
So I thought I would pick a song I like each day, and write something about why I like it, in an attempt to make myself write more often.
Assorted interesting stuff

I’m back
So like a lot of people lately I’ve been thinking about the influence of the big social media sites, especially with all the news stories about how they have done little to nothing to stop far-right radicalisation in the past few years. I loathe Facebook, and would happily close my account if I didn’t use it for promoting events…
2018 to 2019
2018 was a hard year and felt like it lasted a million years rather than just one. I spent most of 2017 travelling around for both work and pleasure, visiting the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Japan, Croatia, Slovenia, France and Switzerland.
Here I am
I have barely updated this blog since the summer because I’ve been both very busy and rarely home. I spent most of September in Australia…
