Bits And Bobs
Huh. So, this is going well, isn’t it. So much for regular updates. I blame a heavy regime of saxophone and piano practise, combined with trying to add in a bit of guitar as well, plus all the other usual stuff that Gets In The Way. So this is going to be a catch-up bullet pointy set of things kind of post. You have been warned.
Saxual Frustration
Really I ought to compose some kind of long screed about how ridiculous the Swedish Pirate Bay case is, but actually I can’t think of anything I didn’t already say in the cartoon I did earlier this evening.

Various Items
Item - Tonight I was lucky enough to play at Vashti And Friends at the Hideaway in Tufnell Park, one of those rare lovely gigs where everything is completely laid back and relaxed, the music is all good, you don’t want to drink more beers than you have money in your pocket to pay for, and you get to play everything - something you’ve rehearsed with a friend, something of your own, and something completely random you were just asked to do the night before. This was good.
Vie De Merde
I told you I was an insomniac.
