I'm not an animal! I'm an artist. I write love songs! & away went the paddy wagon...

About Me


Mouse over a picture for a cunning rommentary of happy happy joy joy.
Welcome! Today I am amicable, polite and civil. Feel free to stay and thanks for visiting.
Recording things...
So what do I do? Well, sometimes: guitar - I've played guitar with some people in a few Australian bands like The New Christs , Tom Kazas Band(Moffs), Brother Brick , Kcrunch , Figtree Renaissance, Lime Spiders , Flesh, The Girlies , Strange Glory and others.
If you like experimental electronic, have a listen to my bush buddy Hum Ditties & The Pickled Brain . Not a side project, more just something to do when you're stuck in the boondocks without a guitar. Some fuzz bass-lines, a popcorn-esque track & a funeral dirge. Maybe they'll become something one day.
Endless perfect blues rock solos and finger bends bore me when I catch myself doing them, rather eat tripe, bum notes excite me, more interested in melody lines, crackle and attack.
I love good drummers but I hate cymbals. Bash bash, every fucking accent! Next drummer I play with, I'm gonna take a chainsaw to his right arm so all he can play is kick, snare, kazoo and bongo with his stump!
BTW: If you want to get my attention, send me a recipe. I'm more interested in your kitchen than your wucka wucka lead breaks.

I'm a reasonably friendly fellow, even a little shy. Somewhere on these pages is blabber, remember it don't mean anything like most things in cyber-space. Pancreas in Hoi-Sin sauce? Crispy Skin Duck in Lemon Bile? Hmmm!
A friends kid did a painting of a whole lot of brown shit from corner to corner, edge to edge. When asked "What is it?", she replied "Inside a rock". Gotta love that singular vision of reality! I can see the parallels, Rock out man!

My Interests

FOOD - I remember Menus more than gigs, travelling, rural landscapes, snow, guitars(obvious), violin, piano, good food and produce, cooking for and hanging with friends, serious belly laughing, non-pc behaviour, Sci-fi, riding motorcycles, flying light aircraft, driving boats, seafood and aquaculture, internet, leadlighting, doing stuff, doing stuff-all, humming inane ditties in precarious moments, sleeping, staying up all night, blabbering, whinging, why humans fuck each other so endemically, staring blankly, sewing (not really), watching seagulls pick mussels out of puke

I'd like to meet:

Nikola Tesla, Chairman Mao(how did he keep his shoes polished so well given how many people they trampled?), Ho Chi Minh(would he like a proper burial? If so can we keep his beard?), Michael Caine, Phuong, Paul McCartney, Ronnie Wood, Billy Connolly, Buddha(to ask how he got so fat on vegetables?), Dick Cheney (hunting, no not really), Dick Head (too many to count), Billy Piper, Katee Sackhoff, Summer Glau, Jessica Alba, Scarlet Johanssen. I mean all in character though, not the real person, usually disappointing meeting stars.
