Somali Yacht Club - Loom
Excellent name.
A heavy couple of months on the wine front
Time for a wine-specific detox.
Burnover
That man deserves a DB.
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.
The Characters
The best series I've seen on Netflix so far. The Tim Robinson episode was perfect weirdness.
Characters of note (borrowing some descriptors from here):
- The Pointer Brothers (Tim Robinson)
- Homeless man who weaponises "Game of Thrones" spoilers (Natasha Rothwell)
- John, the gay narcissist at his own engagement party (John Early)
- Guy who tries out guns in a gun store as he describes murdering people over minor disagreements (Tim Robinson)
- Father who sings a country song to his baby daughter about his love for her future husband, Jeff (Tim Robinson)
- Jaspar Cooch (above), host of "Big Trucks" (Paul Downs)
- Guy who doesn't want to role-play as a black man during sex (Paul Downs)
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.
