Also texture oriented DUB with Cal Lyall's Tabletop Guitar Surgery and Peter Slade's Unique beat programming like Kit Crayton meets Keith Rowe, Pole, and Tied and Tickled Trio.

Hello ,

New music coming soon.

New artwork coming soon.
Canvasses and pencil drawings.
Hope your well, and enjoying your day, gotta get back on it.
Let me know how your doing.
(by the way this comment was added using one of those friend commenter things to give it its technical name, so in truth I"m not actually directly asking you how you are rather sending out a bogus pretence to all my myspace friends, thought i"d be honest about it, what a bastard!) I"m off to watch Russell Brand tonight, �15 to listen to him talk about his ballbags for 2 hours, phew! I"ll let you know, what I thought of it).
keep smiling
Joss
