•

1990s UK indie bands were the best bands.

Back in 2011, I took one of my many trips down Amnesia Lane. A little bit like this one, in fact. I decided to create a list of all the great UK indie bands from the early 1990s. The problem was, I wasn’t an expert at all, and I’d never lived in the UK. But…

I realise that things have been a little quiet on this blog recently.

I’m not usually one for competitions, but in this case I’ve made an exception: I’ve gone ahead and nominated Davey Dreamnation for consideration in the Sydney Writers Centre’s Best Australian Blogs 2011 competition. Why? Well, partly because there’s some cool prizes involved, but also because in this age of social media, I still believe in…

Because Catholicism tells you at a very early age the world is not what you see; that beyond everything you see, and the appearance – or the accidents as they’re known –…

Tired of the amount of emotional energy you’re expending on participating in or following pointless arguments on Teh Intranetz? Then maybe a chatterbot such as BlogWarBot may be of help. It’s been a long time since I last engaged with one of these clever little scripts, but I think it’s safe to say the amount…
