About Me

Well, I thought I should update. Times they are a-changing and all that. Unfortunately I've completely forgotten, or lost comprehension of what might be an appropriate tone to adopt whilst telling the world - or at least the tiny bit of it that might frequent or stumble over this bit of myspace - about what I'm up to. I've decided to go with conversational but not too familiar. Any feedback on whether I have executed this successfully would be gratefully received, as would the stamina to finish reading what I'm sure will result in being a rather lengthy passage....is that an innuendo? I don't even know anymore!
Current occurrences:
1) I've duetted with the wonderful Toph aka TROUBLE OVER TOKYO. I am overjoyed with the magical results. I've never been on a song quite like it, but then again I've never sung with Toph before so perhaps therein lies the reason?! '4228' it's called. It may well be playing as you read this. Go here:
You won't regret it.
2) I have recently done some recording with my very good friends from Leeds THE SUNSHINE UNDERGROUND which features on the b-side to their new sensation, bound-to-be-a-hit single 'Borders'. It comes out on the 26th February and is produced by none other than the dance heavyweight DAN KAHUNA of FC KAHUNA fame. Buy buy buy!!! In fact, go to their profile now and listen listen listen!!! It's called '100mph'. Brrrap!
I have also taken the opportunity to put up a slideshow thingemy of some of my nearest and dearest and memorable occasions, scattered with pictures of things I enjoyed looking at or listening to..and looking at. Let's not unfairly pigeonhole eh?

oh, why not? a bit of narcissism never did anyone any harm.

i thought that, seeing as i haven't really put anything up on here about it yet, apart from perhaps the odd gloating message to a few (un)lucky recipients i'd make my exciting announcemen...

a funny thing happened to me today...

so when i woke up, not having set myself an alarm, i was disgusted, upon looking at my phone to gauge the time, to discover that i'd been asleep for over 12 hours, from 4 am to 4.20pm. an awfull...

nonsense, but why does it hurt so much?

so i woke up (i want to say this morning but it would be a blatant lie) afternoon and had to spend a good few moments working out what was reality and what wasn't. but you know when a dream is s...
