The latest episode of Harmontown is excellent. A tribute to their friend Sam Christensen who was a healer in the guise of an acting teacher. The exercises they describe sound great, learning how the world sees you which just might be very different than how you see yourself. I think this is extremely beneficial. If you're so inclined, please tell ( Read more... )

One of the things I wanted to do this year is focus more on my First Kiss Lips blaug. I had been letting it slip so on New Year's I resolved to post every day this month to get back in the swing of things, and look at that! 34 posts this month. It was also important to start the new year strong so I finally got around to posting about Devant, ( Read more... )

I was drinking a (wine-size) bottle of organic carrot juice at a party last night. It reminded me of the experimental humour of my youth. Tickled orange with this.

Just found this interview with me from April 2003.

Will you be doing any shows in the UK in the future?I’m planning on moving to London for a few months in the fall. I’ve always wanted to live there and I know if I don’t do it soon I never will. London is my favourite city in the world and I’ve had such a great time the few times I’ve been there ( Read more... )

I've been in a rotten mood the past few days, and my thoughts have been such that when I saw the full strangeness of the moon last night, I wondered if that had anything to do with it. But David Barnett's gig was excellent! Cheered me right up. A couple I hadn't heard before, that "Favourite Pop Star" song is AWESOME. I was actually surprised ( Read more... )

I keep thinking of tons of stuff I'd like to post about but never finding the time. Such as a really fun story of Alex Paynter coming over to watch some League of Gentlemen the other night. Or a very bizarre dream 2 nights ago about an expedition to Ethiopia. But perhaps these are better told in person.

For now I've finally released the FREE H ( Read more... )

Been meaning to update forever - trip to America, a lovely day in Moscow Road - but so much else going on and tons of computer trouble, hopefully now fixed. Will hopefully get back to those.

We put out The Soft Close-Ups album, "In Retrospect", on Monday. You can GET IT HERE, pay-what-you-like or FREE (just type in 0). I'm really pleased with ( Read more... )

After all that already today, I arrived at Horry's at 9:50. And at 12.25 walked out with a disc of the finished Beekeeper. I was so exhausted that for the last hour I had to lie down on the floor behind him in what little space wasn't taken up with Dr. Who paraphernalia. I put McAlmont & Butler's "Yes" on my ipod and then decided some ( Read more... )

So that was one of the best birthdays I've ever had. Much better than being horribly ill and alone in your bed, I'm glad I was able to attend this year ( Read more... )

Except for not getting to see my Soph, I wish all days could be like this. I woke up, recorded, met Horry to discuss The Beekeeper (which is going to be really awesome), recorded a new song with Kate, shot J Bev's last scenes for the 'Fireworks' video, then went to see Pris at The Monarch. WHO WERE AMAZING! Very raw, energetic. Stayed a lot ( Read more... )
