A handy resource.

For those interested, here are some favourite pictures taken by me in the past year. If you're on a computer, best to look at these as a slide show I think, though a small device will do! Enjoy regardless! flic.kr/s/aHBqjBRi99

Looking forward to this year's edition of IASPM Australia New Zealand, Musical Translations & Musical Transformations, which we're hosting here in Wellington.

Author's copies of the Boodle book arrived today. This brings me joy. I read it last night. Found a typo. But I'm proud of this and it means a lot to me to have this out in the world, a book about one of New Zealand's best and my favourite NZ band and their landmark Boodle EP.

Playing some vinyls at Rogue & Vagabond tonight (Friday) 6:30-9:30 NZT. A sauntering warm-up set for your soirée, an arousing amuse-bouche for your dinner plans or just an excuse to hear some weird and wonderful sounds.

Happy 85th birthday Wendy Carlos, who revolutionised the synth with Bob Moog, made electronic music before Eno & Kraftwerk, & composed scores for Tron, Clockwork Orange and The Shining. A trans icon, Carlos gave few interviews but this BBC one features her beloved cat www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ca...

Friday morning sounds, celebratory edition.

Happy to share that the manuscript for my contribution to the 33 1/3 series, on The Clean's Boodle Boodle Boodle EP, has been sent off to the publisher*. Robert and David have given it the thumbs up (off?) and I'm quite happy with it (as is my editor!).

In their snazzy new apps and sites update effective as of January this year, Stuff (and related news sites) have disabled their search functionality (along with "Saved Stories"). So we only live in the present with online NZ news it seems.

And then the rain came in....

Some 2023 pics I took (I went with the obvious total of 365). Snapped here in NZ and overseas. Enjoy. flic.kr/s/aHBqjB8Gk1
