Hi all. My god, it's so long since I wrote a blog, they've changed the layout here on the site software! Well looking forward to those cold winter nights as it's getting dark earlier and earlier. Isn't that day coming soon when they change the clock around again and throw everything into confusion? Can't be far off. My apologies for not writing in a while but it's been my busiest summer to date and I haven't really had any time. Moving flat didn't help, as there are about 50 different companies to email after changing address even after you've sorted the furnature out and hung all the pictures..

Reading Ben Elton's "Dead Famous" at the moment. I feel slightly ambivalent about it. The story centres around a group of weirdos and dullards in a "big brother" style show called "house arrest". It goes into how one of them is murdered and the mystery of how it was done with so many cameras in the house.

The production company is not called "Endemol" but "Peeping tom productions" which is a fair joke on the part of Ben. Only trouble so far with this book is that I hate shows like that and so reading about how bad and false they are is sort of old news to me. But to be fair the book was written quite a few years ago and I only bought it to read whilst waiting to play at Saturday nights gig. On the up side though, I am studying philosophy right now, so It stops me getting distracted I suppose and provides some relief when I don't feel like reading about the meaning of life etc. any more.

Just want to say hello to Mike and Arabella who I played for on Saturday and Little Izzie and family who I played for on Sunday. You all were lovely and thanks for looking after me. As I type this you can read Izzie's mum's (Sally's) review here (Opens in new window)

I'm just having to copy my entire catalogue of mp3's from one of my hard drives to another so I can change the first hard drive to a "fat" system format, so it will work with my new decks. I started at 5pm. it's nearly 8pm and it's still copying. Try copying eleven thousand songs from one drive to another and see how long it takes! Another "Frankenstiens lab" evening.

Well thats all for now, but please check out this brilliant sketch from legends Ronnie Corbett and Harry Enfield. A brilliant take on modern technology! Watch them trying to keep a straight face towards the end..
