I was going to write a post introducing a list of the best micro novels currently in progress on the internet. These are works of fiction presented in tiny chunks of text via a micro-blogging platform such as Twitter or Facebook. A seemingly brilliant notion that panders to the world’s attention deficit disorder. No rambling [...]

I f**king hate pikeys
May 29, 2010 – 2:03 pm
Living in the foothills of the Serra de Estrella in central Portugal is supposed to be an idyllic existence – stunning picture postcard scenery, perfect weather all enhanced by friendly and convivial neighbours. Aging donkeys retiring peacefully by the river, toothless old crones carrying bags of washing on their heads. Just the sound of birds [...]
The Big One…
May 15, 2010 – 2:57 pm
…actually it’s a very short one. The film that is. I cobbled together a short animation of my chubby, punk surfer from chapter 9 of Papersurfer. If you already have the book you can recreate this effect at home with a small pot of white paint, a sharp pair of scissors, some ordinary household bleach [...]
Portugal surf report, Cabedelo…
April 28, 2010 – 4:08 pm
…I haven’t surfed at Cabedelo (Figueira de Foz) in a while. My lack of inertia since the winter months has been tough to shake and so has the additional layer of insulation I’ve been cultivating. The waves there are a bit punchier than most around the Peniche area so you need to be pretty fit [...]
Digital needles
March 21, 2010 – 6:04 pm
This is the first instalment of digital mixing from the Aphrodisiac workshops. A moochy, groovy blend of deep house with some dub disco undertones possibly suitable for some recreational culinary activities. I’d probably make pancakes to this mix- maybe wearing a small, floral pinafore and some pink rubber gloves. I would – but I have [...]

Broken wires
February 8, 2010 – 1:07 pm
A dirty dub disco mix to help you groove around the garden shed on a Sunday afternoon. You may be mending the lawnmower or planting some seed trays. Or just getting away from your husband. Sheds aren’t just for men you know… Apologies for the occasional crackle. An unknown broken wire somewhere in the loop…. [...]

Blunt needles
January 21, 2010 – 5:56 pm
This is a moochy, groovy, bouncy kind of thing. Nice for doing a spot of light housework to or maybe even taking a casual saunter across a windswept park. You might meet a stranger next to the water fountain, fall in love, have seven children and call one of them Egbert. Or not – the [...]

Touch the sky
January 12, 2010 – 8:06 pm
This tune has undergone vast changes recently. It transformed from a strange pixie waltz to a deranged calypso and finally settled as it is. Currently a moochy, groovy thing. Formulated in Cubase again – with hints of Toni Braxton but not enough to upset anybody… WARNING: Do NOT play on laptop speakers as the lack [...]
