The drivers are no better southside
Not quite sure what the story was here.
Indonesia, 2016 (Repost)
Time for a throwback.
Speed Cooking - #1
The best kind of cooking: At speed, and with alcohol. Another random, context-less mini-project to add to the pile.
A "socially conscious" cleaning option
Big respect for Altus Enterprises in Papatoetoe, doing what they do. We've made the jump over to using some of their cleaning products over the past year or so. Worth it. Online store here.
Michael Bolton and the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra - Civic Theatre, 19.06.2018
Some context: Several years ago we took a long roadtrip to the Far North in a car that only had a cassette player, a tape of Maori classics, and Michael Bolton's greatest hits. We heard "I Said I Loved You But I Lied" so many times through those cheap treble-heavy speakers that it left a permanent mark, and it's continued to find its way into our music rotations since, for better or worse.
Surprise tickets C/o RGK. Vocal fireworks C/o The Man Himself.
Devastatingly accurate question from a family member: "Was the audience full of perspiring, heavily-perfumed perimenopausal women?"
God damn it. Those jeans. That Deep V.
He's a wrecking machine
Not a fan of the thunderstorm the other day while we were out...
A heavy couple of months on the wine front
Time for a wine-specific detox.
Oddities of South Auckland, Part 7 - Inspired by Mexican cartel hits, maybe..?
An unexpected and gruesome find in a southside neighbourhood this morning: A dismembered sheep on the side of the road. Unclear how, why, or who. Lovely.
The daily struggle is real
Those roadworks seem like they're never-ending. Consequently, so do the queues.
Old gear
The old M-Audio interface (not recommended), and the Death by Audio Robot 8-bit pedal (cool concept, but limited in its practicality); 2012.
My only picture of my Dunedin effects board. From memory (left to right): Boss tremolo, EHX Big Muff, Vox Satchurator distortion, Guyatone overdrive.
From deep in the archives
Circa 2009.
1500 down, 500 to go
Tedious progress with the current photo project. It's taking a ridiculously long time to collect so many different images, but it'll hopefully pay off in the end.
Holeyboard, re-wired and re-ordered
Real estate is getting tight.
