What have I done since I last posted? Quite a lot… Been to Tasmania with FourPlay, which was GREAT fun! Our last gig, two nights ago, was in a little club in Hobart called "Temple Place", with a packed audience who were utterly silent and very appreciative. Lovely!

Before then, went to Frigid's three Opera House Wednesday nights of course, and DJed at one of the Sundays, which was most enjoyable.
I saw a preview showing of the utterly amazing movie Requiem For a Dream. The most full-on movie I've ever seen, pretty much, so any recommendation comes with a big warning – scenes of drug-use, one of the most relentlessly depressing story-lines… But the director Darren Aronofsky (of Pi fame) has the most fabulous sense of style; it looks amazing, it's beautiful and very moving (helped along by the soundtrack by Clint Mansell of my favourite band ever Pop Will Eat Itself, much of it played by Kronos Quartet)… Jennifer Connelly is as gorgeous as ever ;)
I've been reading heaps, and I'm about to update the Current reading list. Lots of new music coming out very soon – new Tortoise, Richard Devine, Delarosa and Asora, Lesser, Matmos, Nobukazu Takemura, Jake Mandell… A new DJ Food EP. Can't wait, and you'll hear about it all hear of course *grin*

Oh and I'm going to Melbourne soon! That'll be awesome! In the meantime, we're playing at Womadelaide in a couple of weeks, which'll be great, but Melbourne is a holiday, going down with Ange, seeing friends, seeing What Is Music? gigs, buying heaps of music and books and… oh dearie! Fuck me dead, etc… Wahoo.

OK, over and out. More frequent posts soon, let's hope!
