Met lots of good folks there and generally had a blast. The Pantaleimon show also went well...Dri's voice was more beautiful than ever, and save for some monitor issues it was our best show yet!!! Current were top, as was six organs (good to see ben and stephanie!!!), simon finn, baby dee. An incredible set my maja elliott on saturday too...someone convince this woman to make a solo record! my personal highlight was the mighty OM, who pummeleed us with bass heavy drone metal on both nights...pretty fucking heavy dude! Then after a brief yet expensive trip to amoeba i flew to new york, where i had the pleasure of playing with neil cleary, who debuted some wonderful new songs and also Zeke Healy, who was not only a total sweetheart, but also one the greetest performers i have seen for some time! i sat in with him the following evening at another show he played. we did an improvised instrumental, then he backed me up on a version of Jamie...good times! spent quality time with my good pal Rats in NYC and also met a couple of wonderful new people...since being home have seen Of Montreal, which rocked, Dirty Three which emoted and last night we went to see Currituck Co and Antony and the Johnsons at the beautiful York Opera House....a great evening. KB was on top form, and it was a treat to hear him play the little heard Fathers Day; one of the most beautiful songs you are likely to hear!

ELECTRIC WIZARD BLACK DICE - BROKEN EAR RECORD VASHTI BUNYAN - LOOKAFTERING BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY - SUMMER IN THE SOUTHEAST it is late and i must rest my weary head! i will get the news section updated with actual facts about the things i have warbled on about here...til next time, toodle pip (as james green would say)   2005-08-10 - a bunch of stuff and nonsense and a list of things i did its been a while since i wrote on here so i will try tobe concise and fill in some facts and whatnot....the tour was good...we had some factors working against us that i will not go into...and the car broke down TWICE so we had to hire two seperate rental vehicles...fun times! bart was a trooper as was tour mascot jamie crewe...the heat was intense - 113 degree in bakersfield, where we played in a food court of an old shopping mall...bizarre...SF was great and we got to play with the great finger picker Sean Smith - you should get his record...it's on isota records...check it. all in all a good time was had and we met some great folks and stayed with some very generous folks who gave up their floors and coffee for us for no apparent reason other than they were good people! and we appreciate it!!! much vinyl was purchased...some choice nuggets from the berkley amoeba...good hanging out time in new york too...seen some good movies - 'me and you and evryone we know' was incredible...loved it! go see it...the new myazaki was good, tho convoluted and i must admit i didnt mind war of the worlds or charlie and the chocolate factory...back to the real world right now, with temp jobs and bills replacing car journeys and scenary...oh well...looks like i will be heading back soon...too tired...all the news is on the news page...so more soon...please come to the josephine foster, mi and l'au show that i am playing on monday in sheffield...thankyou!!! oh and the picture on the left is haggis...finest dog in the land!   2005-05-23 - goats at the sage the show at the sage went well...james green, jamie crewe and myself played three songs off the upcoming 'goat' record, and one improvised piece for autoharp, harp, whistles and guitar. we played in the smaller of the two rooms, and it seemed to go down pretty well. this was our first show doing this material, so all in all a resounding success really. the sage is an amazing place...looks like a big silver slug. we were treated like kings too...our own dressing room (initially next to jandek's, but we all had to move round so he could have his own corridor!) and we were treated to an amazing three course meal (though we had to leave the coconut cheesecake half way through so we could set up!) and as much wine and beer as we could wish for (which was surprisingly very little actually). everyone who worked there was lovely and the whole day was a surreal blast. jandek's set was great...very different from the last one. he played for about an hour and a half, and though i recognised various lyrical motifs, i think it was all new stuff...it was pretty intense. spoke with richard youngs after and he showed me his fingers and they were red raw from his bass...the things we do for art...so another success for mr esson. hope it happens again...today will see jandek perform again in glasgow...have heard it will be a pretty special show by all accounts...talk of him playing a piano is unconfirmed at present...in other news, a few people have enquired about getting a hold of the upcoming tour CD...i will keep 10 aside for sale through this site, so if you want one drop me a line. those who have already done so will have one reserved til i get them all done...there will be only 50 copies of the CD...as with 'the goat'...righty-ho, better...   2005-05-19 - moving moving house this weekend and am currently surrounded by boxes of junk. the gig should be a blast this weekend...feel excited to be playing alongside jandek...never thought THAT would happen...we are on around 8pm on the second stage. hope a few you can make it. oh and here is something you all need to know about - VETIVER & CURRITUCK CO. UK/EUROPE tour...this should be awesome. kevin and otto are opening the shows, then  micah p. hinson is playing, and then vetiver. you can get the dates from the C.Co page (on the links page here). currituck is also opening for smog on most of his UK dates, so that is not to be missed too...back to the packing. music recommendation for you before i go - weird weeds - awesome band from texas, who just sent me their new record...their site is www.weirdweeds.com - check it!   2005-03-21 - neck again my neck has been causing problems again...which has seen me laying down on the floor with my head supported by a copy of 'please kill me' and 'our band could be your life', at the reccomendation of my mother. alexander technique. it works too. So as you probably know by now the US tour is taking shape...money and shows permitting we should be on the road by the end of summer...if anyone wants us in your town then drop us a line! initial plans are to hit new york, athens, nashville, chicago (this is not in geographical order by the way), boston, burlington...and seven shows on the west coast...i am very keen to play eureka again, as i had a great show there a few years back with of montreal...good people and place! the album is more than likely back from the plant (is it a plant?) a i type...imagine badman will have them to pre-prder by mid april, if you are that way inclined. two good movies coming out soon...mean creek, which is kind of like stand by me meets deliverance and features the great josh peck...and tarnation, which though in my opinion deeply flawed, it is still a pretty awesome film. certainly never seen one like it...so you may want to check them out...or not. and of course the life aquatic was brilliant. as was hitch, which you will no doubt not believe me about! oh and lastly, if anyone can help me out with this...i need good quality scans of the first two tour CDs i released...i sadly dont have copies of them anymore...so if anyone has one then could you please email it through the contacts page...thanks. ok that's it for now. guess its too late to see hanson...probably for the best. will see y'all at the joanna/6organs/white magic show in leeds perhaps?   2005-02-21 - gadzooks have been super busy of late...things getting hectic. many trips to london and birthdays and visitors etc. but the good news is that the new album is in the hands of badman, and should be mastered and ready to be made/built as you read this...which is exciting, no? trying to figure out a US tour for summer...if anyone can help with this then please drop me a line...may end up just playing the two coasts, but would like to venture inland too...hopefully try and make it out to europe too at some point later in the year too...seen some good shows of late - 6 organs in london was wonderful...and plush too. you may want to check out the new issue of comes with a smile for an interview with liam hayes that yours truly conducted...check the links page for the cwas address if you dont know it...will be seeing low play this week (on my birthday) and also beginning full time employment again - yikes! all good though...parted with far too much money for access to vincent gallo at this springs ATP...excitement also. what else?

someone emailed me offering encouragement, which i thought was sweet...   2004-10-07 - cheeky beak time trundling along sleepily...silent in the office. i really had hoped to never hear the keane album again, yet upon returning from a pointless trip to town, sure enough there it was on...bedshaped. i hate it. i really hate it...not sure quite why i hate it so...insipid bollocks. blah blah blah...tomorrow antony is playing at tonic in NYC with kevin barker on guitar. antony has the voice of an angel and kevin is an actual angel, so it promises to be great...and by gosh, i wish i could go! dammit! and i will miss the antony show in london as it is the day we fly back from (guess where) NYC! better run...   2004-10-05 - soft boy tuesday morning and i begin my last week at work, which is pleasently worrying...oh well. tonight i play with robyn hitchcock...i can never remember where the y goes...does it go there at all? hmmm...i will have no CDs to sell tonight, which is very annoying, but i will bite my tongue about that. the feral children album is also now (probably) in limbo...we shall see. but the good news is that it lookd like neil cleary will now be along for the ride on my new album...time permitting he should be popping in for a couple of days...i am currently listening an album by Maritime which is brilliant...you may like it. sounds like the housemartins, and matt dornan agrees! which is a rare thing indeed. i leave for new york in just over 2 weeks...vetiver is playing when we are there which is lovely, as are wolf eyes, which is not lovely but equally enticing. apparently not even 100 people would want to buy feral children...which is saddening. we (again) shall see...   2004-09-27 - TOUR ONLY CD meant to say that someone is selling a copy of my instrumentals tour only CD...(from the Sixth Great Lake jaunt from last October) on ebay...they are all gone...so perhaps this may be of interest....   2004-09-27 - dragging on ah. so i am still sat here feeling like a goon...shame. lazily looking for something else. can't muster the energy really as my nose is full of goo...which always happens before i make a record...just to make things easier. perhaps i should just leave...and go back to bed.   2004-09-22 - WILL WORK FOR FOOD Anyone got a job i could do?
