Yesterday I wondered down to the waterfront in Seattle to visit the scrumptious sensual assault that is the “Pike Place Market.” It was filled to the brim with “OH LOOK HONEY” tourists who picked up giant apples, tried different brands of jam and poked the many guises of fish that were for sale. This was [...]
Last night, I met my favourite new artist of the past year or so, a gentleman, Mike, who makes music under the name Perfume Genius. Excitingly, Perfume Genius has recently signed to new (and awesome) record label Turnstile, which I have ‘some involvement with’. The nature of my involvement is cloudy, and also unimportant. Perfume [...]
Myself, Harriet and Neil went to watch Scout Niblett last night at the suspiciously named “Tractor Tavern,” where there was less farmyard paraphernalia then one might expect. She was disarmingly good and it was bizarre she was not headlining despite the fact she had drawn the biggest crowd.

Today, we should be at ATP. BY RIGHTS!! The next three days promise to be a stream of torturous reminders that we’re not. So, to celebrate the fact that I’m gonna be miserable this weekend while my friends tweet and facebook and blog about how they’re having an incredible time, as I sit LONELY at [...]

It’s pointless and harmless and is much like making things out of tin foil along to Blue Peter but then trying to eat the tin foil just to see what it feels like…Feels weird just in case [...]
I’m drinking a beer right now and it got me thinking, “hmm, what are my top 5 favourite beers?” This is going out to you completely live, straight from my mind. This is train of thought real life kinda shit. In descending order: 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. So there we have it. Heineken, Hoegaarden, [...]
Hello! Here is a visual update from the second set of recording sessions for Album Numero Deux. The studio has an everflowing supply of vitamin water (cheers 50 Cent) and across the way in the Home Depot car park you can get Fellatio! It is our little corner of heaven and we are decorating it [...]
I think my love for Xiu Xiu is reasonably well documented (by myself) but these past couple of weeks it has possibly soared out of all proportions. Earlier today, I found this incredible (Xiu Xiu endorsed) bootleg of a 2004 concert of theirs which took place in Nuremberg, Germany. This show came a couple of [...]
