I just finished extracting honey and I'm all sticky all over, solar panels haven't heated the water enough for a warm shower yet so I'm surfin. I grew up in a small rural area and over the years the farms have been subdivided up and urban folk have migrated into the fields, it causes a bit of grief as we all try to adjust to each others reality but the land usually wins the battle. Heres a song I wrote about that transition called walking into you. Maybe I posted it before... MORE

Well hey, Ive been working on some new recordings and to start with I go off to the studio and record just me and the gat and then Ian from Muddyboots records and I see what jumps to mind for the next step.Sometimes we have done nothing else but usually they take us on a real journey, its hard for me personally to know where that journey might go.I don't often have much more than what I call the bones, the bare melody and words and Ian takes them on the next part of the jo...

Have we replaced our old gods with new musical gods? Places like this are full of very interesting stuff about what the new gods are up to. These gods are a little easier to communicate with than the traditional gods, they sing to us, they sleep with each other, they get stoned, arrested, shot, divorced, they get themselves into places we can only dream of, they give us something to look up to. The new gods have lots of power and some of them try to save the world or f... MORE

music festivals
(1)
Just recovered after two weekends camping out at two music festivals.Thats the way to hear music, there will always be a little gem or two in there.Over here most of the performers camp out too so it feels like a little village after a day or so and there is a social aspect to it and that gives the musicians an opportunity to mingle and can reduce the "GOD" effect that listeners often elevate their favorite performers to.anyway heres a vid of me at last years Organic River...

Theres a big push over here in New Zealand right now to stop people copying music and even thought I spent some serious buck making a CD I gotta say I find it hard to agree with.

Ok so Im 47 and I might be a cyber-dinosaur but I can write stuff, Ive got spell check and man Ive got stuff to say. My best discovery so far this century has been Ryan Adams but I gotta say theres so much awesome music out there you can get dizzy looking. Music and art have always given the makers the freedom to point out what really sucks out there without getting hung and what is totally awesome and everything in between, Im a third generation monetary reformist and I f...
