Hm, sometimes I wonder… clearly this is my “personal” page, so it makes sense to use this URL when I fill in the “webpage” or “URL” fields on other people’s comments forms.

But it occurs to me that when I’m commenting on a music blog or about something music-related, maybe it’d be better to put the Utility Fog URL. Being my radio show, that 3-hour chunk of Sydney’s airwaves that belongs to me ME ME, it gives a pretty good picture of my musical tastes, and a lot of people recognize me from over there these days.
And I don’t seem to write about music so much over here any more.
Which is a shame. It’s just that preparing 3 hours of music every week makes it hard to take time out to write reviews. Still, a few things have been sincerely floating my boat of late, such as the estimable Jason Forrest’s Shamelessly Exciting CD on Sonig, the amazing newie from World’s End Girlfriend, The Lie Lay Land (on the Japanese Noble Lable and hence expensive/hard to find) and, well, lots more.

In other music news, the new FourPlay album is recorded and mixed, and will be getting mastered shortly! Will nevertheless not be out for ages, but the Trust single should be out in late Feb or early March, including remixes by Clue To Kalo and m’self. Oh, and the rest of the band kindly let me loose on a 9-minute jam we did one evening in the studio, so I did some subtle folktronic edits and effects to it, making the last track on the album, Appalachian Jam. I’ll probably do further fuckery with it later for a major remix overhaul - I’m sure we’ll end up with like a deluxe triple remix album plus bonus 7″s or something this time… ;)

   Hi, I came across your old links page and hopped over to this blog. You said the Clouds were a fave but have nowhere to link, so just thought I’d mention I run a CURRENT Clouds page over at http://www.miaowthecat.com/sd/clouds.htm and Jodi & Trish have re-teamed as The Girls From The Clouds with a new EP out this week! Their site is at http://www.thegirlsfromtheclouds.com/intro.htm
   So if you like what you see, we could sure use a link back to our site :) Cheers –Scott

   Hiya,
   Hm my old links page is about 100 years old and should really be pulled down. If you check the Utility Fog page you’ll see that I have played them girls and linked to their site and all ;)
   Nice to see you have a Clouds page though, cool :)

   Greetings J Peteypie Frogworth…
   Can’t wait to hear the new album, I like the idea of Appalachian Jam. Just wanted to let you know that even though I am the world’s worst emailer I do check up on my friends, not least of all the maker of the best mix tapes I ever did listen to (!) and read this site on my cyber-travels. So, onwards and upwards for the Frogworth Corporation and all its subsiduaries, hope the new place is working out well and we’ll catch up in January when I leave London’s frosty streets and get back out to some good ole’ ozone deprived sunshine… K xxx

   Hey Peter… just a thought - if there’s any hard to get Japanese releases of anything that you want me to hunt down while I am here, please do let me know, I’d be happy to oblige…
