Well the trip up the coast was quite exhausting. Got back to melbourne and fell in a heap. Clare Moore has been doing some recording. i have been doing some writing. Playing guitar and sorting out a few gigs. been very much enjoying reading Tony Martins new book, " a nest of occasionals". Its great. His second book, a follow up to "Lolly Scramble". kind of a memoir but so much more too. Very , very funny.
Been doing the Tuesday show on RRR. "Banana Lounge Broadcasting" with Elizabeth McCarthy. Shes been writing the playlists up on teh BLB Myspace. We interviewed mark Seymour and Johnette Napolitano recently. the latter was a very clasy person. Very generous.
Writing some songs, thinking of what sort of recording to do next. i think something arty and slow is gonna take shape. 12 string guitar. On the otehr hand, really been digging the late period Animals recordings by Eric Burdon. "Sky Pilot" and "Monterey". I need to get people to hear my goddam music though.
Reading more Patrick White. the man was , really, a genius. Australia hasn't had many!
On tv, my fave show is "the big bang theory". Those guys are funny.
Doing the narrative show "live in hell" again from Oct 22 to oct 25. 9pm each night except for the Sunday which is earlier.
