One More Time with Feeling- gripping and full of sorrow
Just got back from the Nick Cave movie - It was gripping, full of sorrow, and beautiful.

What's summer for, anyway?
Summer, as an adult anyway, is about grabbing what fun you can. Ideally we'd all have that June to August period off with nothing to do like when I was a kid.
I kind of wish I could sign myself…

Freezing Sheep...
So here’s a new one. I’m working on a new song, a slow atmospheric dirge.
I’ve got the headphones on and fall asleep with the thing on a loop.

Isolation...
Isolation is something I crave. There's a certain kind of isolation you can achieve in the city- an anonymity. There's 3 million people rushing around, and so few of them care about anyone else. There's a comfort in that. You…

Best thing I've read in awhile- The Second Coming

2015 -what did I listen to?
A playlist then- what did I listen to in 2015? I told @EatKS and @UnScholars (both of whom you should follow) on twitter it would be nothing new- and it seems like I was right.

One of my favourite parts of a show is the time after sound check, before the doors open.
It's quiet, private. It's you and the bands, the bar staff, the sound guy. Everyone is just hanging out, relaxing, enjoying…
