90-year age gap
The family’s oldest member meets the youngest.
Fender American Special Telecaster
Ticked this one off the gear bucket list. A few minor adjustments to be made (it’s getting a proper setup this weekend), but otherwise looks and sounds exactly how I hoped it would.
The Federales - XII Below Sound Desk Recordings (2010)
Following up on the previous post - a selection from the sound desk recording from the same night. On reflection I might have come in a bit too hot on the distortion/fuzz those days, but no regrets!
Peak student life
Dunedin, ~2006. I vaguely remember this being the last-minute prevention of a much bigger (house) fire.
End of the 10s - Roll on the 20s
A small collection of memories from a busy and eventful past ten years.
2019 IMHO Beer Ratings - Best of 2019
The best of a pretty good bunch:
Cassels Milk Stout from Christchurch. Hard to go past this as a standout winner for the year. Even better from the source.
This hazy IPA was ridiculously easy to drink. Best enjoyed with sun, friends, and barbeque.
A trip to Melbourne brought with it the realisation that the Australians do have beers other than VB and Foster’s, and they’re really quite good. This one in particular was seriously drinkable.
