i had a great long weekend. i spent three days in the country with 11 of my best friends. i wouldn’t normally mention this kind of thing here, but today i’m making an exception. thanks to all of my friends, without whom i would probably be dead or at least on another planet.

i’ve taken a break from working on music for the last six weeks. that kind of break is unheard of for me, its been a mental health break, because i’ve been having something akin to a musical mental breakdown – coming on very slowly, like water on a stone – for about the last 6 months. the break has been good. now i’m psyching myself up to get back into it. for anyone paying attention, i really really hope the new album will be finished and released by the end of the year. i never wanted to take this long to make and release music, and i never want it to take this long again. but i’m hoping that the long wait and the hard work will be worth it.

be afraid, europe, be very afraid…

it seems bob from zeal has been on a similar journey rediscovering old 8-bit video game themes recently. bob is currently digging the 1986 nintendo game labyrinth, which was of course based on the bowie-in-spandex movie of the same name. head to bob’s blog for a ridiculous 8-bit version of magic dance…

LUDO FRIEND

hey bob! check this out!

i myself grew up on the c64 version of labyrinth. i could never get very far in it though – this was a pretty recurring theme for me playing commodore 64 games. i was not a good gamer. i tended to give up when things got hard, which is a philosophy that i have tried hard to carry over into my adult life. things would be much easier if david bowie visited me in a freaky dream

my man in adelaide bob jarvis has spent a big chunk of time in the last few months making a film clip for my song “coach” – and he is just now starting to leak some of the details out onto the internet via his blog. check out this behind the scenes still:

yes. i’m blogging on my blog about a guy on another blog who is blogging about me! i have dreamed of this moment ever since the invention of the internet in 2003.

check out bob’s blog for more. it is worth mentioning at this point that bob records music under the name zeal, and as some of you probably already know, one of his songs – “yumi and the sky” – appears on my changes ep from late last year. he has recently uploaded to youtube some live footage from a gig he did in adelaide on valentine’s day – so, here check out this live stripped back version of “yumi and the sky”, and if you like what you hear head to bob’s site and buy his ep. i like to blog about my changes friends
