The End Is Nigh

Social media themed food, just what the kids were demanding!... wtf? These leapt out at me as i wandered the aisles yesterday. It's depressing that food can't look like food, but hey they are made with REAL potatoes... and look, you can dunk them in REAL ketchup, made with REAL tomatoes (just don't ask Monsanto how REAL those tomatoes are ; )

Our days are surely numbered, the bees seem to be helping us out with that one.

My Favourite Cabin

I've seen this cabin numerous times, but this is the first time i've seen any of the interior. What a beautiful place. See more of Scott Newkirk's Cabin

PermaCARture

This is what the inside of a gardener and permaculturist's car looks like! I had to take a snap while waiting for my mate Mark in his car the other day. Love it! Mark has a great new blog post on how we've come to frown on failure (and all that it teaches us), follow the link and check it out.

Another Winning Combo

These two tracks found themselves together on a compilation i made years ago, but i still find it a winning combination. Fog- Pneumonia and Jim O'Rourke- Memory Lame.

Compilation Magic

I put these on a recent compilation cd, with 'Fingers through the glass' by Out Cold, sandwiched between them (but i can't find that). I love the way they sit together. Makes for happy cooking in the kitchen ( a touch of alcohol always helps too ; ). I should thank my mate Chris for shining a light on Broken Bells and Out Cold (along with numerous others!).

Memoirs Of A Neurotic Zombie

...erm, illustrated by me!

I can now share this cover i worked on for Faber recently, they have a big cover reveal going on today on selected literary blogs, each one also sharing a unique extract from the book. I also received a very nice email from the author, Jeff Norton, today. It's always nice to know an author likes the cover, sometimes you just have to hope! The authors i've worked with recently have all been really cool and have contacted me just to say nice things. It's very much appreciated!
