Music Update
Spartak – Selected Recordings from 2010 – 2013 It’s been a while since I heard Spartak play in the Pot Belly, listening to their laptop-fed, guitar drone against abstract drums. I heard they were going to play at YAH, and I was fortunate enough to stumble upon their show and pick up a copy of…

Buddha Machine Session 1
Recently I recorded a session with my slowly growing collection of Buddha Machines. My set up is really simple: I run a Buddha Machine through a Memory Man looping pedal and then through a turntable mixer which then goes to my stereo. Everything you will listen to was recorded onto my phone. The result is…

ACTDNB.com’s Boat Party II
Managed to land a spot ACTDnB.com’s latest boat party. I took more photos, drank and danced. Overall, I enjoyed this much better than the whole All Our Friends festival last week, felt more intimate and exclusive.

Saturday
Today I am going to a festival called All Our Friends, which technically started about half and hour ago. I wasn’t going to go, because I really couldn’t justify the eighty lucre that it cost. However, a work buddy knew the organiser and put me down for free entry. Sadly, I’m waiting on a phone…
