An Improvised doodle with guitars and some electronic ambient noises I made some years back.

Only a couple of weeks after Whitby, once again behind the decks. The Memepunks were playing a gig at The Cavendish Arms in Stockwell, and had asked me to DJ, with a remit expanding from 'after the bands' to 'before and after the bands' and then 'before, between, and after the bands'.

The bands were ULTRARABBIT, the latest project by Andy and Eva, formerly of Flesh Tetris, and Nothing New, with The Memepunks headlining with their live mashups ('thirty songs, one hour'). All bands linked by a touch of synths and a sense of humour, with The Memepunks joined for a couple of tracks by international violinist and artistic director of the Bach Akademie Australia, Madeleine Easton.

I should also thank some of the DJs who introduced me to some of the tunes I played, including DJ Lee Chaos, DJ Kat, and DJ Charliemouse, as my set wouldn't have sounded like this without them.

What I played ... )

And, as a bonus (?), this weekend I recreated the setlist as a digital set (I DJ off CDs live), and uploaded it to Mixcloud, here, should anyone want to stream it.

No se si comenté que hice un pequeño concierto el viernes pasado en Café Palestina, localmente (tienen una sala de eventos así que fue un concierto propiamente dicho no un tigre). Treinta personas pero esa era la capacidad de la sala así que bien. La mitad de los recaudos para su charity que trata de ayudar niños palestinos. Estuvo bien; me salió bien a pesar de mis temores previos (yo siempre pienso que me voy a equivocar mucho, se me va a olvidar la música, no va a venir nadie). Pero salió bien, no se me olvidó mucho ni hubo muchas equivocaciones y llené el local. Bueno para el espíritu.

Strange days, the counterpoint of long days spent teaching guitar or practising it and trying to stay on top of all the things that you have to stay on top of, while the world outside burns -or threatens to burn.

Now sitting at my school of Wednesdays; half of my charges are not doing their lesson today because they're in exams, some others are away on school outings.

Preparing (or trying to) for concert on Friday. At this point you always feel like you're playing your worst ever; hopefully it won't be like that on the day.

Completely missed the whole Eurovision thing, which so many of my friends follow with dedication -I just don't get it, that kind of pop show doesn't do it for me and in the shape of a competition... even less.

Half of my friends seem to already be in Leipzig for the WGT. I kept saying I would go next year, every year but realising it was an expense I couldn't afford and it needed a bit of organising things that I most often are bad at and don't have time or energy for. Would like to go but every year the chances that I will do it one day are less and less. Not that there aren't lots of things to keep me occupied.

Bath time is going as well as can be expected.
Original is here on Pixelfed.scot.

Gideon picking up language from YouTube is hilarious. I explained to him yesterday that you can use the right trigger to drift in Mario Kart and he replied "Bro! That's sick!"

So the book tour was a lot! Five cities in five days was kind of exhausting. (Boston, Fort Collins CO, Seattle, Portland, San Diego) There's one more city to go tomorrow 5/16, Dallas: https://stores.barnesandnoble.com/event/9780062204379-0


Also good news: Platform Decay was #8 on the New York Times Bestseller List, #8 on the USA Today Bestseller List, and #6 on the Indie Bestseller List. That's never happened before and I'm freaking out a little.
