random acts of senseless beauty

I had a terrifying moment in the pub last night when Craig Charles told me that he reads my blog. Then Gideon Coe pretended not to know about it for about 10 seconds before admitting that he’s read it to. And then another, and then another…
Apparently reading my blog has become the latest [...]

Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age just walked past me in the corridor and said hello. For a (nearly) 7 ft tall ginger bloke he’s one sexy fella. Oooh… my tummy’s gone all funny.
In unrelated news Bananie wants questions… I’ll have a little thinky and post ‘em later.

I can’t seem to be able to get to sleep before 2.30 at the moment. I’ve always been a morning person, and it seems like my body-clock has finally adjusted to the last evening shift when I’m mere weeks from ending it.
In the wee small hours of the morning, when the whole wide world [...]

In Nashville last autumn Geoffy told me I had to listen to a new band from Canada that he couldn’t get enough of. I bought their CD at Grimeys and listened to it more and more… The Arcade Fire.
Like I wrote about seeing Rufus a while ago, when you really love an album [...]

The main thing I’ve been doing on my 2 days off seems to be making Mix CDs. A couple for Cary, one for Mariea for her Birthday, a couple for Ruth, and maybe one for Owen and Georgie who get married on Saturday.
I always loved making mix tapes and had it down to an [...]

Ok Steve… here we go… answers on your blog.
1) Where/what in the world do you consider your ’sanctuary’? Could be a place, room, city, persons etc
2) When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?
3) Can you justify the existance of the Christian Music Industry?
4) Who’s the [...]

mmmm… comfy.

we’re definately going to have to repaint now as the walls clash, and boy do we need new cushions!

It’s a little after 7am. Cath has just gone to work and I’m awake, nauseous with fear that the sofas will be here at 8.30 and I haven’t got rid of the old ones yet. Panic has set in… so what better way to deal with it than finish my questionnaire.
Question 5… If [...]

There’s this question ring thing happening… Liz has posed me 5 questions that I have to answer here, and if you’d like me to set you 5 questions that you’ll answer on your blog, then leave me a comment!
1)Why do you blog?
I started Blogging a couple of years ago when Annie did. I just [...]

The Enanbird has just moved to New York City to finish her album and play some gigs. Some of the stuff that’s happened in the scant 6 weeks she’s been there include finding an affordable place to live ON Broadway AT Union Sq, getting some great support slots like Aqualung and Tom McRae, and [...]

A few nights with less than the required amount of sleep + a few days with way more than the reccomended hours of work = it’s the smallest things that push you over the edge.
My phone won’t send text messages. I can receive but not reply, and I can’t send original ones [...]

All of you.

Yesterday on the train to work I was happily listening to Dennison Witmer’s Philadelphia Songs on my iPod when a text message arrives… from Dennison!
WEIRD.
Weird because I hadn’t listened to the album in full for a few months (tracks on a few playlists though) and weird ’cause I haven’t heard from Dennison since last Greenbelt. [...]
