You may have read me write nice things in the past about the record label Turnstile. I’ve blogged about how much I love their artists, we’ve toured with one of their bands, and I endorsed their first ever Bento Box Well, I’m honoured to say that I was asked to curate Bento #2, and here [...]

DO NOT SEND MONIES, THANK YOU. A couple of weeks back I advertised the fact that we had new t-shirts for sale on this tour. We have done and they’ve been one of the most popular designs we’ve had.

Sometimes I pick stuff up off the street. It’s my shtick, my thing, my inner womble. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t.
