i have eight films stashed in a box from my adventures, desperately awaiting the funds required to develop
them. i am thoroughly determined to explode this journal with content this year but until i can afford the
upkeep its going to be taking a vow of impoverished silence.
meanwhile, if you'd like to help a brother out, i have a song up on bandcamp that's ripe for the 'choose your
own price' buyin' if you will: under by watercolours
i'm currently reviewing the treatment for another music video to follow my last self-funded one. this time i
was awarded a grant to pay for the recording and video of a new song called 'pazzida', though i harbour
slight concerns over it's incongruity with the other release, i hope you'll like it for all it's poptacularness none
the less. it's special because it contains many a hand clap and choir yelp from a loveable group of scamps -
many of whom don't populate my immediate geographical vicinity any more.
otherwise my 2012 thus far has consisted of:
- working most days and most nights in brooklyn on fresh new songs.
- willing snowfall before my departure back to summertime in the olde country (unfortunately unfulfilled)
- spending three disconnected days in what can only be described as heavenly hokianga.
- attempting to render my resume more charming in an effort to win a new job.
- fitting an eight-piece band into my bedroom for rehearsals.
- being one half of a tramp couple, surviving solely on lentil soup for an entire week.
it feels quite strange to be so candid. does it colour you with discomfort? might try it out for a spell.
