OK, so I’m embarrassed, I haven’t posted since Sunday! Sorry all you fans out there (where?), I’ve been busy ok? And I’m only getting busier this next week or two. FourPlay are touring to Melbourne in a week, and I can’t wait; love that city. Will be visiting all my favourite places of course, including Synaesthesia, one of the best record stores on the planet… Collector’s Corner on Swanston St are fantastic too. While we’re at it, Slow Glass Books are just what I wish Sydney had - a really good, in-the-know, science-fiction specialist bookshop. Not only does Melbourne have them, it’s also got Minotaur - a science-fiction specialist downstairs and excellent comics shop upstairs. (And nor does Melbourne have a dearth of other good bookshops and comics shops… Argh!)
Why do I still live in Sydney?

Yeah ok, I’ve got a heap of wonderful friends in Sydney, and a band that’s based here and etc etc. And hey it’s a beautiful place too I admit.
Speaking of friends, my good friend Mark just created a homepage with her own domain name for another dear friend, Julieanne (for her birthday), whose blog Blindspot I pointed out a few posts ago. A domain name of your own for your birthday? Pretty amazing! And Mark’s got an excellent eye for design I think you’ll all agree.

But then, speaking of design, this young lady from Newcastle, Amy, has a beautiful blog, stylish as they come! And not only a biotech scientist, but great taste in music, what can I say! Note the Dearhunters reference in there somewhere, Jodi Phillis’s most recent band since the demise of the Clouds, much-loved and much-missed, and my favourite Australian band for many many years.
Jodi’s working on her new album at the moment, and it shouldn’t be toooo long before it’s out I think. Needs a record company still. Strings of course by the ever-industrious us.
