Well, many apologies – it’s been a very hectic week, and so I’ve gone quiet for a bit. And I’m going to be quiet for a little longer; I’m off to America with H this weekend, moving between Seattle, New York and Saratoga. We’ll be visiting friends, chilling in the woods, and hitting the WorldContinue reading “Do not adjust your sets”

Go Go Stella Friday!
Return of the Stellas
A slow day on the blog, but it does at least give me space to blurb THE RETURN OF THE STELLAS! Yup, London’s leading ambientkrautdoomraga purveyors (with me on bass) will be playing up North London way a week today. More details here, plus images and sounds of our past triumphs. Come drone with usContinue reading “Return of the Stellas”
Conventions of Stella
Well, a short entry today as I’m off to the BFS Fantasycon in Nottingham – should be a fun weekend. If you’re there, say hi! – I should be easy to spot, as I’ll probably be looking something like this for most of the weekend, tho’ minus the blue and white shirt and Zali, whichContinue reading “Conventions of Stella”
Prog folk metal mayhem
Well, a new day’s here and with it the new Chrome Hoof album, Pre-Emptive False Rapture. I’ve just started it playing it, and it’s delivering on everything that the reviews have promised. That is, it sounds like a metal band with a disco obsession playing Pentangle covers in a circle of Hell themed around 70sContinue reading “Prog folk metal mayhem”

Last week was mostly very productive book work, combined with lots of rain; last weekend’s Green Man Festival was muddy but highly enjoyable, climaxing with a fantastic Strange Attractor-organised night of talks on animism, the cultural history of mushrooms, plus hypnotically wonderful musicContinue reading “Rebooting”
I was a poltergeist once, you know…
Well, it’s mid-August, and my brain is winding down. Holidays are beginning; I’ve got Monday off next week to recover from a Stellas recording session (we’re going from midday Sunday to 4am Monday), Friday to head to the Green Man Festival with H, Raagnagrok and co (where we shall in particular be enjoying Strange AttractorContinue reading “I was a poltergeist once, you know…”
Processing the world
Well, last weekend was very rock’n’roll – Djinn’s fractured Arab rave beats blending with Indokrautprog mayhem from Grok on Saturday, and word / sound crossover on Sunday as M. John Harrison and Erik Davis read with Grok. Here’s the Sunday line up, waiting to groove: Grok came out of Stoke Newington’s leading boy band, theContinue reading “Processing the world”
Sono ergo sum
