Talented people

Word up peeps. I recently went to Brisbane with some friends and upon returning felt compelled to blog about these particular friends, as they're doing great creative things that are well worth broader attention.

My friend Kyla is a designer of stunning women's clothing. She recently launched her website - www.kylacrozier.com. You can look at a couple of her collections there and I'm pretty sure you can just email her if you're interested in anything.

Another friend of mine runs an excellent website that does detailed reviews of video clips (www.musicvidkid.com). She's super prolific and a very astute writer. Check it out.

New song

Yesterday was the last Sunday of the month, which means I finished a new song and it's now up for free download if you join my mailing list over there on the left.

This one's called 'Strange Context' and it was written, recorded and mixed all within the past week. Everything about it is so recent that I don't have any objective perspective on it. Have never played it live and it feels somewhat different to my other stuff.

Would love to know what you think.

Happy holidays.

More YouTubery

This past week, I had a good chuckle at the below....







This last one's as impressive as it is amusing...

The 3rd Song

If you're on my mailing list, there should now be a free new song from me in your inbox. Otherwise, put your email address in over there on the left to get it if you're not.

This one's 'Pickpockets'.

Been playing it live for a little while now, but I'm particularly proud of this new recorded version.

I sang and played acoustic guitar and xylophone. Nic Cogels sang backing vox, played elec guitar, ebow and percussion.

Might have to work on improving the live arrangement now...
