Martyn Clark organised and recorded a collaborative album of improvised music with me and 10 other artistes in his living room in (roughly) 48 hours. Megan and Stephen Appleton drove around the south-eastern coast of Angus for an evening, including an excitable encounter with flying puffins. Two very different experiences with my hosts so far,…
The first night of my odyssey took me to Wood Green to enjoy the hospitality of my very good friend Francesca Elston, her adopted family and then a little later, Dr Hadfield and his hyperactive puss. It all felt very normal, ordinary people that I spend time with in London anyway. Just for some reason…
Never ask me to estimate how long it will take to move out of a flat. Just tell me what to do when and keep on at me until I’ve done it. Just don’t tell me now and don’t keep on at me now, please. I’ve got more important things to do right now. This…

So first stop is definitely Glasgow. I’ve booked a train ticket. Otherwise today I’m mostly discarding things that no longer serve me… Plus The two-day open-house creative jam that Martyn had suggested has morphed through our patented process of conversation, reflection and further conversation 😉 into a project to record an album of new and…

I posted this comment to Andrea Phillips’s blog in response to her post about snarky criticism of Rebecca Black. I don’t think we need to draw a line between whose work deserves to be beaten up online and whose doesn’t – I think the question is really why we think it helps anybody. I thought…
Thinking there's an instructive post to be written around there being more to the social web than Klout & Peer Index in the same way that there was more to blogging than Technorati. Is there anything more to say than that? Probably, and the clue is in the title of this post. Anyone care? PS…
Just got in from this at The Place. “A choreographic collection of live performance, film and installation” curated by my friend Joe Moran. It’s on again tomorrow afternoon/evening. It’s free. Go and see it. The live performance happens simultaneously in two studios, but pieces are repeated throughout the session. The bits I felt I…
