I've been blogging at Assistant Blog for five years or so, cataloguing moments of my personal life alongside links and thoughts on pop music, politics, books and art. I play guitar and sing in a mostly dormant pop group called Assistant, and live in Brighton.

  • taking heart

    Posted on Thursday December 17th, 2009 at 06:11 in politics, blogging, Observations

    This week lots of the bloggers I read regularly seem to be preoccupied with relationships, ineractions; how we get on, and why. It would be nice to report that everyone is filing success stories - but original thoughts, confidential whisperings and a...

    Posted on Wednesday December 16th, 2009 at 07:51 in blogging, daft

    For reasons I don't understand, I just seem to be getting an enormous amount of spam comments at the moment - it's really annoying. If I snap and turn on the comment verification thing soon you'll have to forgive me. In the meantime, some - some - of...

  • the lists descend

    Posted on Tuesday December 8th, 2009 at 18:04 in music, currently listening, end of year lists

    Posted on Tuesday December 8th, 2009 at 11:11 in music, video, damon albarn and blur

    Some early footage of Blur has turned up out of nowhere - brilliant. Unfortunately the embedding is turned off for this video, but it's essential viewing anyway, so you'll just have to follow the link below. Not quite sure where it came from all of a...
