Stay tuned folks. Benjamin Deberdt (ex-Kingpin, ex-Sugar, ex-my-boss, ex-hooked-me-up-big-time, STILL a-ruler-and-one-of-the-best-fellas-I-know) is starting a new French Skate mag called Pause.

Watch this space for more news.

Daniel Johnston was so amazing at the show last night in Sydney.
The set was a pretty good selection, the first solo songs were incredible. So open and authentic.

I was a bit disappointed with the rest of the band. It seemed unnecessary to me. The arrangements were superfluous. It didn’t make sense to be there.

What a performer, what a writer. He did a few Lennon songs, the super depressing ones of course.

Everett put some words about the MCG performance up here.

… and Andrew Peters turned 21.
Only 21!

I had the twins round for breakfast.

I met this fellow about 7 years ago when I thought I wanted to be a music critic. At the time he had the best music periodical I have ever followed. I went to his home in Brighton and listened to records and watched him do a radio show. He close to directly started my time with Transgressive Records and Warner designing record sleeves.

As a long standing champion of Daniel Johnston’s music I had him come down to play at the opening last week as he now lives in Brisbane.

The Legend!

I know it’s been a while since I posted any original content.
It may seem I haven’t done a thing. Spiritually perhaps. Physically uh uh.
This week is catch up week.

Sydney castle.

And pyramid.

Statue upskirt.

Some more images popping up of last weeks performance.

Thanks Eduardo

These were the last 3 advertisements we did for Mountain Fold Music Journal. If you haven’t seen this mag it is a crying shame, it’s incredible.
