  • Letter to the Editors (the UK band)

      Dear the Editors,   How are you? I am very well, thanks for asking and for also realising I was not just a spambot. Sometimes people think that and it's quite awkward, especially when it's at a cocktail party rather than an internet forum. Anyway, let's cut straight to the not boring bit shall…

  • Pocket Hipster app

    Have you ever been walking down the street, thinking about messaging that enigmagnetic boy/girl when suddenly the thought "I WISH I HAD AN IPHONE APP THAT MADE FUN OF MY MUSIC CHOICES!" assailed you like a blunt instrument to the solar plexus? If the answer to this question is 'yes ma'am!' then boy have I…

  • For sale: Midi keyboard formerly owned by Ludwig Van Beethoven

    (Link to the full ebay ad is here.) I'm about to head to New York and then Colombia to do some "research" for my next book, Adonis Comma Coma. I need to raise some funds to assure that I can afford to drink Manhattans in Manhattan and to that end I'm selling off a few…

  • FROZEN FACE OF POLAR BEAR reviewed by JM Donellan (of Frozen Face of Polar Bear)

  • 'Dying in India' got a pretty top notch review in this week's Rave magazine if I do say so myself. And I do, because I'm a writer, I say stuff, that's my frigging JOB. http://www.ravemagazine.com.au/content/view/18423/192/

  • BLACK CATS & FUTURE SPECS

    On the weekend this happened:   And yes I am aware of the fact that it is poor form for a writer to blog primarily in images but I've spent last 48 hours being drunk, hung over and scrubbing gallery walls with sugar soap so you'll forgive me if I'm uncharacteristically laconic.  I also want…

  • FUTURE SPECS: putting the “art” in party

        YOU: "Oh hey man, how's it going?"     THEM: "Oh hey there guy! Well, you know, pretty good, Carol's been redecoratising the living room and my little girl got a triple double goldstar trophy sceptre for her report on Miley Cyrus." YOU: "Um…I'm pretty sure that there's no such thing as a triple double…
