another big week down the tubes

firstly, i think too much, i worry too much, and i like too much.

2. played my solo album launch. the album zhu zi dan ge (jur ser daan ger) and i had fun, but because i wasnt sleeping as much because i'm a stress head, i could have had more energy. still the couple of days after. i felt really relaxed.

for those who missed the gig. here are some of the happenings.

wet patch made me cry with thier dentist drill sound.

j.k fuller was full of variety and cosmic suitcase dreaming. best jk show ive seen, but of course i aint seen too many.

i played 3 songs in shirt and tie, looking smart. 1. airport waiting lounge (an inevtable orbit song as yet practised) 2. door a, door b = door AB (another i.o song) 3. a shabby cover of the puddles 'thursaday'.

then to a drum loop of the late great mel taylor of the ventures, i did a strip,more like taking my clothes off. i stripped down to red boxer shorts and put red face paint all over the face.

i then self kariokied (sang along to a backing track of the album minus the vocals (plus undreased gems), tried to dance but i didnt have much energy.

the songs were 1, isle (my next single later in the year and probably the poppiest thing ive ever done. the backing track has 10 vocal tracks) 2. orbit within yourself (i did some good miming to the words) 3. tidal trains (i did a version of this on pat o'briens show the night before. i had to sit down and read the lyrics of this new tune) 4. cloudburst downshine 5. against the grain (thanks second easybeats drummer for your unknown services. a great new snapper-esqe song. 6. g,s,j (i was doing a stupid running thing for this one. i felt at one point like a bit of a prat, but got over it)

there you go.

also been practicing my dance work with craig. do come along on either march 5, 6 or 7 at 8pm. its atr the oki do yoga centre in carlton (3 waterloo st, its opposite the state housing flats on lygon st in between elgin and vic roads on the left hand side) its shaping up as my best work and much more of the ground than the airy fairy direction ive always taken.
