Okay some links relevant to the headline later on, just pushing out some old stuff but meantime, could the ball be possibly starting to maybe y’know . . . roll?
Alright I think I’m finally starting to work myself into a good position I just have to prevail a little bit.
Money is all good, I’m not in an insurmountable position but I’m pretty happy with how that’s working out and slowly edging my way back into video and music and creative stuff, and forming a fresh vision.
I do feel the need to use video to make something happen, because I don’t want to engineer.
If I can’t write tunes that sound good and I don’t feel like it’s justified spending hundreds of dollars each time I put out a tune, then I’ve got to have something else and that’s where the video comes in.
Even though the video I have been doing is less than perfect and still looks a little amateurish, hey thats life. At least I’m getting on with it and I think thats what video is about, it’s the mtv era all over – either you’ve got a video and your relevant and participating, or you don’t.
Either people can see the music is good, or they just like the video, or they don’t.
But the bigger picture is that if money is okay, and I’m at least contributing to pushing artistic ideas forward, doesn’t that mean all my surplus effort can go to chasing girls now?
I met a girl in the post office this week I gave her my email.
She emailed me, I didn’t email back, I just think I dunno, if you just wanna chase a girl then fine, if you’re really serious, I guess that’s cool too as long as you don’t get too into a girl who’d not really interested.
But the in between, y’know, I don’t want to break no hearts, I don’t want to be responsible for crying girls because I was keen for action, but not really keen on anything serious.
Again, I guess thats getting older for you. Just can’t really be bothered chasing some chick I’m not that keen on . . .
I’ve got some of my crazy stupid plans, but y’know. They kind of are crazy and stupid. If it works, great. Hope I don’t regret it.
I get these visions of . . . y’know, things do go well when I go it alone. I just worry I’ll find myself neck deep in some idiocy and alone in it.
Just keep pushing toward my proper actual agency, expanding the marketing that we can do and offer – toward that vision of the agency.
In a lot of ways it is about branding. I got good money coming in from my business, now I just need to get that confidence and recognition out there so that I start to impinge and encroach on my competitors just through the presence of my brand.
That guy Matt, those guys at Kurb, they do that stuff, and they’re always cheap and good, it gets to when people dont even bother googling, they know its you, you’re out there, people talk about you.
I guess I’ve got to remember I have 3 or 4 income streams with little head room, the future is in my new businesses the shop and the agency.
With my art, as I say, I’m humble. Make a video, make a song, make the song first, come up with a concept. Come up with a concept for more than 1 song. A long video, a series of videos. There’s a video, some music is in it, some of the music related to the concept isn’t, but it’s the video that goes with the concept.
As I say, I’d like to tour around and get asked to play in other places. To have enough fans that 50 people will come and see you play anywhere – the 2 things work together. Don’t really care about the money.
I like to travel, but I like to know that it’s for an important and tangible reason. I like touring. ‘
I’d like to be able to mingle with name producers, I’d like to maybe have a couple of friends who are released artists who I play with and collaborate with. I’d like to play and collaborate with a lot more artists.
Again, you need the name to tour and collaborate.
I think if I just keep chipping away in this way, I’ll connect with people who realise im not interested in money, I just enjoy travelling to gigs and collaborating with my contemporaries.

This is some older stuff, again I didn’t get to post. Oh well, gotta keep those words chugging through.
It has come to my attention that people may have begun to read this blog, which might suggest I tone done the wallowing, navel gazing, self indulgence, but y’know, probably not.
I am doing a lot of reading on various stuff. It’s quite a relaxing week, any day now I’m bound to start freaking out because of how slow the week has gone but then it’s been weeks of full on work and decent money so I’m sure I can take the rough with the smooth in this case.
Still marvelling at the turn around from 2 months ago when things seemed so hard, like I might need to prepare for a situation in which I wasn’t gonna have my money situation under control.
But hey, perhaps I could make the effort to be less self indulgent and speak on other issues of interest.
Man I Hate Greenpeace, which I know is bad because they’re well intentioned, but still, what a bunch of dicks. It’s the same hate you have for a young upstart DJ or promoter, you want the same things, but can’t stand the way they’re going about it.
I’m just talking about the whole BP thing.
this debate on sexual politics and biological determinism is in full cry over at Roissy from the Chateau’s blog.
I’ve also been ready this post on love and change.
what about some DJ stuff – this post is on promoters killing the scene and horsetrading in the australian club scene
