Yeah yeah I know. It’s been fucken ages. I’m sorry ok! In a day or so I shall clear this Tour Diary nonsense off the blog and put it on its own page, where I shall complete it and you can read it properly in order.

In the meantime, back to business as usual!
Got back to Australia a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been settling in, and doing quite a bit of session work for people including Friendly (nice Sydney electronica) and Tooth (good friends Shane (Sir) Robbo and Kevin Purdy’s fantastic electronica duo). Been seeing old friends, getting re-acquainted with Sydney, etc. The Olympics managed not to be too crap, Sydney was amazingly clean, everyone was well-behaved (hmm); we had great audiences at our three FourPlay gigs in Martin Place… It was fun.
On the other hand, they shipped out all the homeless people for the duration (who us?), and generally just swept everything under the carpet, so no doubt it’ll be business as usual again soon.

In the meantime down in Melbourne they had the S11 protests, one of the most successful protests in the world against capitalism and free trade. If I hadn’t just gotten back I would’ve been down there with them.

Readers will be pleased to know that I am an Experimenter (Dominant Introvery Abstract Thinker, along with only 4% of the population) according to the Spark’s “Famous Personality Test”. It’s just as much bollocks as all the other personality tests, whether Meyer-Briggs, Keirsey or whatever else. But it has a sense of humour, and came the closest to anything like me that any of them have. Every time I do the Keirsey test I come up with a different (just as inappropriate) result. It’s such bullshit *grin*

Well, glad to be back with you, hope you haven’t pined away too much in my absence. I’ll try and get the damn Tour Diary finished soon, with pretty holiday snaps scanned in and suchlike. In the meantime, I’m back to stumbling in the dark…
(Apparently “stumblings in the dark” may be a reference to some sortof Christian esoterica - don’t worry, I’m still as much of an atheist Jew as ever!)
