My friends are putting together this band called ‘The Weather‘ and asked me to do some t-shirt designs. This was one of them that I thought came out well.

Brooke Fraser’s new album Albertine is great. Her voice is so … definite. Such amazing tone and well thought through lines. I have listened to it too much already but still love it. Maybe cause I have also needed relaxing during the crazy last few weeks.

I am really impressed with Powderfinger’s new album. I thought the single Lost and Running was alright, but the album is worth checking out. I would compare it to Odyssey Number Five which I really dug.

I am still processing Young Modern. I haven’t stopped listening to Diorama – Daniel Johns has amazing ideas of what to do with songs. With Young Modern, there are some amazing ideas and some great songs, but gee … some of the songs are hard to take – really tense in their construction. Still, Silverchair are extraordinary.

I have got a whole bunch of albums lately. I am going to try and tackle one new one each day of my holidays.

Today is my birthday … don’t worry there is still time to buy me a present. I will accept gifts up till September but after that they just become early Christmas presents.

I got rid of the Tele (long story) and was able, with a little help from others, to buy this gem in time for my music exams and my birthday. It is fantastic – I won’t go on. You will have to come and see it in action one time.

I found kozyndan through a street press mag. Really cool art & illustrations.

Hands up if you hate essays! [my hand is up]. One and a half more weeks and I get my first uni holidays – schools out!

While I’m amusing myself, check out my favourite shirt at the moment …
