So I’m sitting at the computer trying to make a blue gradient in Illustrator for a project at work. Not being happy with anything I’m was coming up with, I look out of the office window and see the exact blue I’m looking for. For a split second, I attempt to drag the eye dropper tool from my computer screen to the actual sky, before pulling out my trusty iPhone and walking out into the bright light and intense heat of the Australian sun.

Could you ask for a more perfect blue gradient?

Thanks nature!

#Dgar is qualified to tell dad jokes.

They majored in sighchology.

Yodelling levels are at 30% and drastically rising, but is @levels_check reporting this?

Nope, not a peep! Nothing! Nada!!

I’m here #fuckaas, but I’m not sure why.

Just downloaded the Titanic soundtrack.

It’s syncing now.

I really shouldn’t get mad at lazy people.

They didn’t do anything.

Although Jesus was known as a carpenter, he never actually sang or performed on any of their albums.

I recently purchased 51% of a vampire hunting company.

I am now the main stake holder.

Very different vibes between light mode and dark mode on this one.

#BandcampFriday has arrived!

I have told this story on here before, but this is my first Bandcamp Friday, so I’m going to tell it again. It is the story behind how my song “Proud Woman” was created.

*deep breath

I used to work with a lady who would always take an interest in my music. She’d ask how our jam sessions went and if I’d recorded anything new. But, anytime I had something new, she’d listen to it through, and then tell me that it’s “not her kind of music”.
It always bemused me that she would take such an interest if she didn’t like what I was making. 

I decided to write her a song that she would enjoy.

Music was being streamed at work all the time, so I knew what sort of songs she was into. Classic Rock. Australian Pub Rock in particular. She was a single mum in her 50’s, a strong, hard woman, an Aussie battler.

I wrote Proud Woman in a weekend, and recorded it at home. My friend Reid, who I used to regularly jam with, did the vocals. When it was done, I uploaded it and shared it with her when I got to work.

She liked it.

The experience taught me the value of an audience of one. The focus on writing a song for one person, with the aim that they - that person in particular - enjoys it, gave me a different perspective on the whole creative process.

This song is also the only song in which Reid did the lead vocals, my close friend who left us last year to hang out with Bowie, Lemmy, and Mercury.

Studies have shown that people who have more birthdays live longer.

Salesperson: This car will seat six people without any issues.

Me: I don’t think I know six people without any issues.

Them: Wow, that’s a lot of books. Do any of them open a secret door?

Me: Yeah. They all do.

My friend gifted me a couple of aquariums for helping them move house.

That’s all the tanks I got.
