   About Characters From Books
Hello. Welcome to our page. If you have any of the following items in your possession, then we think you might be here to stay......... A faded librarycard... A digital camera you hardly use anymore (- when you got it, you promised yourself you'd use it all the time)... A poster of a favourite album or film that's ripped and ragged but you can't bear to take down... An overdraft that's dangerously near the limit... An addiction to tea (especially at around 3pm)... An unfinished short story, novel, or script... A pile of loose change on a windowsil... A cd/book/dvd/video collection that you stare at occasionally (the way a new mother just stops and stares in hopeless awe at her child when it is sleeping)... Pyjamas... Poems you're afraid to show anyone... Mild to Strong Insomnia... Some boxes full of reminders of EVERYTHING you've ever done (school work, letters, bad poems, cinema tickets etc)... A strange love of going round other people's houses.......... ...If you don't have any of these things, we think you might be lying. But I'm pretty sure you DO have these things. Otherwise you wouldn't have read this far. We've got a collection of songs we're growing fond of. We hope you will like them, too. You can hear some of the songs on this site, or, if you're impatient, or have nothing better on, you can come and see us live. Well, what are you waiting for?

Thanks!

Hullo,
Yes, 'High Summer' is very nice but I can't believe that you made that sweet sounding girl vocalist swear. If you could hear me, you would hear me gasping...........with both surprise and horror. That's right both of them!

Actually, it's a really good song. When's the CD out?

I don't know that I'm really equipped to be the judge of anything, but I do think High Summer is a lovely song, and perfectly appropriate for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere. So I'm going to say you're not mad (as far as I'm aware).

So here we go..... I've just put up 10 of the 11(wish there was room for 1 more) songs from my new album "These Bright Lights" (featuring Mrs. WAZ!!) I want to make sure everyone can have a little something to tide them over until it officially comes out September 21st on iTunes, so...... Listen to the music player on my page and pick your favorite song. Then send an email to wazmusic@gmail.com and tell me which one you picked. I'll send you a free MP3 of that song! Deal?

Cheers!

WAZ
