2020 Lists !

I’ve not done any lists for this year yet. To state the absolutely flippin’ obvious, it’s been such a messed up year. But thinking about the highlights in film and music is of interest to me and, perhaps, you. There’s probably loads of stuff I haven’t seen/heard that I will spend time catching up on.

Hopefully, I can actually visit the cinema again soon and new releases will get to the big screen. Also might actually get to see some live music! Wow, remember gigs?

Anyway… here goes. Onwards and Upwards…

Films:

Parasite
The Assistant
I’m Thinking of Ending Things

Music:

Billy Nomates – Billy Nomates
Kelektia! – Kelektia!
Tongue Fu – Boat Building

Fondue 006 Audio Anthology

The latest audio anthology, or ‘virtual poetry night’, by Sydney based collective Fondue includes work inspired by the visual prompt of “Bi-head with White T-shirt”, a ceramic work by Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran.

My poem ‘Two Trees’, makes up a part of the anthology.

Temporal Fix

Temporal Fix, a music project I was involved with during my time in Berlin 6 years ago, never really stopped. We just paused. Anyway we will releasing some new material pretty soon!

Check out temporalfix.bandcamp.com to keep up with what we’re doing and listen to the two EPs we finished in the glory days of 2014…

First Light lyrics

Here are the lyrics for First Light, a song off the new Points of Convergence EP.

The new EP can be found here: https://pointsofconvergence.bandcamp.com/album/the-present-climate

Here are the lyrics for First Light:

First Light

First light fades and the wall of sound filters in

Wake up you and wake up me

We’ve some work to do

The coffee tastes wrong as the shadows nod in

A jerk shirk wonky time

The moment’s not here
The moment’s not there

As we flutter outside

I want a new time

As I’m waiting for the mood to change

But something’s holding back

There’s no more chance

There’s no more chance right here

To discuss the possibilities of all these lines

And all these fractured times

This unresolved space has circles of impact

Brought about by the stones

That I throw

That I throw

The impact brought about by the stones that I throw

That I throw

First Light
