Friday, October 31st, 2008It’s been a busy day so far. A nice frosty walk in the park this morning was marred only slightly by two dogs launching themselves at Benji in a non-playing manner and scaring the crap out of him but redeemed when we met other, more pleasant dogs (and owners) later on. Then it [...]
settling in & manda rin :::
Thursday, October 30th, 2008A big part of settling in to my gorgeous new turquoise studio has been sorting through all the boxes I didn’t open in my last, more transitory abode. Recycling bags have been filled with assorted paper based crap, including once-exciting items like old tour itineraries, backstage passes and the like. The sort of [...]
manna & martha :::
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Last night I had plans with the girls: semi-posh vegetarian/vegan fare at Primrose Hill’s Manna followed by Martha Wainwright’s show at The Roundhouse. Both surpassed expectations.
I won’t go on too much about the food except to say that as a vegan it’s always quite exciting to have so much choice at dinner and I [...]

Some odd MySQL database glitches occurred and it was only thanks to the kindness [...]

Friday, September 19th, 2008San Francisco: the last stop of the tour and one of the places I’d been looking forward to the most, thanks to hearty recommendations from Mike and Jess. It’s a shame I didn’t turn up til mid afternoon on gig day, exhausted from my LA fun, but I found pleasure in photographing the amazing [...]

Friday, September 19th, 2008Two songs stuck in my head in the five days I spent in California. Not even whole songs, really, just two of the most annoying snippets of the songs concerned, which I couldn’t help but sing in comedy voices at various points throughout the day. Yep, out loud.
Song one was ‘California’ by Phantom [...]
i heart toronto :::
Saturday, September 13th, 2008My second trip to Toronto was even shorter than my first. A year and a half ago I went over for three days with Lil’ Chris to play shows in The Mod Club and in Hamilton, a town just outside the city. I had a great time trudging through crisp white snow, enjoying [...]
