Enormous Collision / September 5 2008
Nelson Galaxy and I are doing family things for a few days so I plan to take a little time off from blogging - amongst other things. I’ll be back next week.
Until then, allow me to remind you that tickets are still available for the Enormous gig with 80s popsters B-Movie at the Town Mill […]
Blog Off / April 20 2008
No post today, I am trying not to think.
Hamilton Bentley, my actor friend, paid me a visit last night in his new car – a twenty-year-old Lada that had so many rattles, it sounded like he was delivering a drum kit – and made me get drunk with him.
‘You should see your face,’ he told […]
Nomination / January 16 2008
I have been nominated for another award.
The lovely Jo Beaufoix put me forward for the McArthur Genius Grant in her post on Monday. I am so flattered by what she said about me. Thanks, Jo!
Jo writes a brilliant blog about her life and young family. It is always funny and full of soul and perfectly […]
Evil Science / January 15 2008
Computers, like cars, are entirely problematic creations.
Yes, I know that without them, the world in general, and my life specifically, would be, in many respects, a far less remarkable place. I would not be writing this blog, for instance, if it were not for my PC; and I would have to maintain very bulky and […]
Internet Upstart’s Start / December 16 2007
My good friend and colleague Ashley Morgan, co-founder of Big Arena Records, trumpet player in Enormous and one half of the Enormous Horns, has just acquired one of the hottest blogs on the net: upstartblogger.com.
I shall be contributing regularly, revealing a few secrets and offering advice to the poor and needy, so why not hop […]
Respect Where It’s Due / November 28 2007
Ashley Morgan wrote a brilliant piece over on UpstartBlogger.com about the way the record industry is evolving, especially with regard to blogging.
He is spot on with his astute observations on the new forms of distribution and marketing that independent musicians and song writers are currently using to sell their material. He does not pull any […]
Blogging Dilemma / October 18 2007
Nelson has been blogging about how good he is at worrying. Well, we are cut from the same cloth; and this is evidenced by how remarkably talented yours truly is in this respect, too.
What I find most worrying is the fact that, generally speaking, Nelson and I are both fully aware that we are worrying […]
Nelson’s Blog / October 16 2007
Yay! Our esteemed friend Mr Nelson Galaxy now has his own blog. Why not pay him a visit and say hi. I’m sure he would love to entertain you for a few hours. See you there.
The design is not finished yet but don’t let that put you off - you can still join in with […]
A Statement / September 25 2007
It has been suggested in various quarters that I may have been planning to abandon my blog and elope with a local woman in order to raise a brood of East Midlands hell-children-Satan-spawn.
Let me say right now that there is absolutely no chance whatsoever of me ever running away with a toothless crone - or […]
The Hand That Time Forgot / August 12 2007
I was supposed to be recording some guitar in the studio today but I had to call a halt to the session.
Last night, like some kind of retarded imbecile or want-wit, I slept very soundly for about eight hours on my left hand.
Consequently, it is now almost completely numb and seems determined to remain in […]
