    I bought Songs From the 86 at Landspeed on Saturday. Mainly for Northcote (of course). Currently Sudanese, Trishine, Song To Nod Off To and New Media are getting plenty of spins.

    I too have a data projector, but I’m yet to make an installation of myself giving birth to myself. Though I once drew a picture of a cupcake farting, which they say is only three steps away from producing a video piece involving a strobe light and a can of reconstituted maize.

    Visited Canberra on the weekend, sadly missed the Wednesday Lyneham gig. Heard it was lovely. I’ll try an catch a live show one day!

    It’s almost cruel that, now I’ve discovered you, having just moved to Melbourne from Canberra, you play in Canberra very few weeks before.
    Although, you’re based in Melbourne so… I don’t really know what to feel here.
    I’ve spent the day falling in love with you (in a totally fan-based way) after John Safran mentioning you on Rage, discovered you write for Frankie, lived where I once lived, and are flippin’ wonderful to pieces.
    I look forward to noticing you more from now on, sir.

    Hi. Unfortunately the album isn’t available overseas via itunes. My record company are retarded. If you email me your address I could work out posting one to you. Thanks, J.
