2010

Where the year ended.

Jobs

Still trying to come to terms with being an autonomous human being.

Broadcast

For the first time in far too long, I knew where I wanted to be; perhaps more than that: where I needed to be. Where I had to be. It felt as if it was an instinct.

It was the kind of thing that shocks you because it gives you a glimpse for a moment of what life could be like; it made me feel that there just might be things worth doing. To use possibly the oldest of cliches, it was a light in the dark.

"Don't bleed for the things you don't need".

"Lee, unlike his immediate predecessors, Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun, added North Korean human rights to the Korea-China summit agenda in August, asking Hu not to repatriate North Korean refugees against their will. Hu did not respond to Lee’s request (Ref E). Also, we understand, Lee asked Hu what China thought about the North Korean domestic political situation and whether Beijing had any contingency plans. This time, Hu apparently pretended not to hear Lee."

I WILL BE OUT [Download]

I WILL BE OUT

Recorded 2008-2010

1. I Will Be Out
2. Swoop

This was mostly recorded in the summer of 2008/09, a time in which I took pictures of myself holding jigsaws. It didn't quite have a place with the stuff I was doing at the time for the next LP and I didn't know what else to do with it...so I thought I'd put it on here as a faux-single (lol). The LP will be out soon and "Swoop" will be on it in a very different form.

I Will Be Out

I'm sick of "sharp yellowed teeth"

And "greyed scales"

Do you want to be a no-one?

Do you want to be a no-one?

I don't have anyone

No-one has me

No-one has me

I don't have anyone

No-one has me

No-one has me

I don't have anyone

No-one wants to know where I'll be

No-one wants to know where I'll be

This song makes me sad.

I'm seeing Gorillaz with my mum. There's no one else I'd rather see them with.

This song makes me sad, if only for the line:

"Where you can't get what you want,

But you can get me."

The Extras finale made me cry (again).

One day...

Saturday Night Prime Time

Balaclava

Thanks Eliza.

Forest Swords

Miarches

I can't tell if I'm late to these parties? But I've been listening a lot to this record over the last few weeks.

And where did this year go? The blooper reel continues its unprecedented growth.

Still my favourite ABBA song...

...anyone?

Video's a bit shit though.

"Then you might do"

Happier times

Oscar turns one today

Happy Birthday

James Blake song that I like.

From the Klavierwerke EP.

It was a draw.

Drained like nothing else.

But I do other things, I swear.

2010 Grand Final Week

Has so far been one long panic attack, and only promises to get more intense.

Cool.

St Kilda

Are in to the Grand Final (Take #2).

One of those minutes

And I'm a terrible dancer

Oscar, distressed as the votes are counted.

For now

RAILWAY [LP]

RAILWAY

1. Worker

2. Pipe

Recorded January 2010

The Slide

The "First LP" has been more or less finished and I am waiting on the tapes getting made, etc. But the "First LP" is now the "Second LP". The (now) "First LP" was recorded in a couple of hours a few months ago, but I'd hardly touched it since amidst finishing (what was) the first record, and even getting much of (again, what was) the second record done, until this week.

Goodnight Lovers

Oh yeah sure.

The first LP is just about finished and I am working with Jonathon at Totem Tapes at the moment on getting it out.

Please do check out the other bands on this new label, based here in Melbourne.
