I love the sound of the road rules over there. So orderly. It sounds like Kakadu, but also a bit strange … I hope you and your mum aren’t driving each other nuts. Contrary to what I might have let on, I haven’t really been able to catch up with anyone yet – I spoke…

First days in NYC
•

Re the flight – yeah, it was hellish, bumpy and scary on the way to LA and very long. But the flight to NYC was only five hours, and we got to see some pretty amazing stuff out the window – deserts, snow covered mountains (in the desert), hundreds of miles of farms in squares…

The great thing about Internet technology is that it allows you to see how and why people arrive at your site. While, naturally, thousands and thousands of Davey Dreamnation’s fans find his international website by typing “davey + dreamnation” into Google, some people just weren’t meant to be here. The following five examples are cases…

After a short vacation in Mongolia with his pet llama Scaramouche, Davey Dreamnation wasted no time this morning getting stuck into his opponents, the music press, even his fans, in a characteristic outburst at Heathrow Airport. Calling the British music press a bunch of “knaves” and his fans “losers”, Dreamnation signalled his intention to go…

Following on from the tumultuous events of last week, Davey Dreamnation has hit the news stands again – this time in the critically acclaimed online journal The Scam. Davey’s secret release of a 4-cd set live album, entitled “live at budokan” apparently did not escape the attention of the sharp-eyed (and eared) folks at the…

Thanks, Quincey. This one is my favourite so far. It’s got that 1980s, Smiths/ A-Ha quality to it. Live, on location at the Queen Victoria markets, approximately 3am, on the morning of my birthday. Two weeks ago. Note my fresh haircut. Barely visible, but there nevertheless. I am expecting about two thousand more of these…

Well, I’ve done my duty now, but I have to say I’m not done with this review business. There’s another site I’d like to highlight. That site is Mechanically Separated Chicken and is compiled by my friend and sometime partner in Cordite crime, Carlie Lazar. Yes, that’s right – I am now able to reveal…

•
2 min read
Okay, so I’m a day late with this one, but basically I’ve been involved in this cute little project (P2P – dead link) where people review each others’ blogs. It’s a way of getting people to read more widely, I guess, and make new connections. I’ve been asked to review a blog called “S’all Good…

How have you been? Happy? Are you smiling today? What colour t-shirt are you wearing? Why am I asking you these questions? Because, as Henry Rollins would say “I know you. I know everything about you.” I know why you’re reading this. I know what you’re thinking as you scroll down this page: … fucking…

Greetings from Woomera

Hello Australia, hello world. Greetings from Woomera, South Australia, Easter 2002. Red dust, blue sky, one thousand people, 100 cops – one detention centre, 380 human beings inside; two fences between the protesters and the detainees; one massive gulf between what the people of Australia have been told about these ‘illegals’, ‘queue jumpers’, ‘terrorists’, ‘others’…

Tomorrow I’m heading off into the South Australian desert to join the convergence that is Woomera 2002. If you want to keep in touch with what’s going on there, log onto Indymedia (dead link). As you’ve probably noticed, I went into prose overdrive the last couple of days. I think the quality of writing is…

I spent most of today shuttling back and forth between North Melbourne and Fitzroy, via various trams, including one of the brand news ones, a complimentary ride in a space-age tram! I was in Fitzroy recording two tracks for a radio show, The Red Room, which goes out on the airwaves in Sydney and elsewhere.…
