Efterklang
12 11 2009
Efterklang are a Danish band….I’ve seen them 3 times now, each totally breathtaking, they’re one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. The song in the video, is a from their forthcoming record and my friend Matt and I describe it as the ‘new best song in the world’ as when we heard it first we were literally speachless. They’ve just released a live album recorded with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra, which you can find out more about here – www.myspace.com/efterklang

Wildlife Photographer of the year
28 10 2009This years wildlife photographer of the year exhibit has just opened at the Natural History Museum in London. Having seen some of the winning entries and heard from friends who’ve been to visit, it’s well worth a visit if you in the area. This year’s winning entry was of a wolf jumping over, taken with a Hassleblad 503CW (worth about £4,500) which is a medium format film camera, which just goes to prove that digital photography has by no means over taken film as the primary format!
This shot is one of my favourites from all of the winners. It won the award for ‘Nature in Black and White’. It’s so simple, yet the drama and movement captured is stunning, I’d like to think of it as something that I can aspire to, I’d love to be taking photos like this in the future!

Children on the Shore
28 10 2009I’ve just sorted out a trip to Cornwall at the end of November. Me and Joel are road tripping it all the way from Manchester to Falmouth, 6 hours in the car. I’m going to see Sarah and her lovely new town/friends/uni. Joel is going to visit his friends from back home. I can’t wait. Cornwall is so much more beautiful than Manchester. I’ll make sure I take lots of snaps to show you all.

Last Ever Sam Isaac Shows
28 10 2009As you may or may not have heard, what is currently known as Sam Isaac (and band) will be playing their last ever shows at the start of December. Having played drums for Sam over 2 years, it’s going to be strange to think that we’re never going to play these songs again, so now is your chance to come and sing along and have a great time for one last time, or if you’ve never made it to a show, this is your last chance! Also playing are the Xcerts, who are super great and fun and have just been on tour with Idlewild and Funeral for a Friend.

Richard Dawkins is going to write me a book
23 10 2009Richard Dawkins is to write an illustrated book for teenagers and young adults aiming to dispell myths including, who the first man and first woman were, why there are seasons, what the sun is, how old the world is and why there are so many animals, first answering the questions with myth and legend, and then with “lucid scientific explanations”.

No thanks Richard.
