Recently these things have happened

Hello much neglected blog, I am here to write on you about some things that recently have been going on.

My record 'Modern Driveway' came out on Notown, here's a nice review of it in the NME.

I did an interview which is in Italian but also English (at the bottom of the page).

(FYI, I don't speak Italian, so if I sound like an idiot it's because of the translation.  However, if I sound like an idiot in the English one it's because I am an idiot.)

The wonderful Drowned In Sound website made Modern Driveway their single of the week.

Lucy Jones of the Telegraph said some very nice things about me.

and LAST BUT NOT LEAST, the very talented Mr Jon Hopkins did a version of Modern Driveway on the piano.
