Another while has gone by without an update here. This is because I am slack. No other excuses will be made. I still have all my notes from my trip to England to transcribe at some point, and that was ten months ago. Anyway, here’s what’s been happening in Greig-land. [...]
I have had a very productive weekend. Yesterday’s effort has already been documented. What I failed to mention was the reason for such industry. What else? Beer! While I love having a hobby where the fruits can be enjoyed in such a hedonistic way, it can be a lot of [...]
It feels so good to throw things away. Seriously. Try it. Go to that room or cupboard you all have. You know, the one with all the accumulated crap you’ve had for ages “just in case”. Have a good sort through it all, enjoying any memories conjured up. Now, [...]
I hate spammers. They’ve figured out wp-hashcash. I don’t want or need anything they have to offer. Does anyone? I assume someone must, or they wouldn’t do it.
This is a message to anyone who buys anything from spammers. I will hunt you down and invent new and horrible ways for [...]
Back home in Hamilton now. We had a fantastic time, though the weather was fairly miserable except for Saturday morning. That said, it doesn’t need to be fine to drink a good ale!
Here then is a summary of what I posted to the NZ Homebrewers mailing list, as it’s easier than writing the [...]
Here we are in Sunny Wellington. Yes. Really. OK, so it absolutely pissed down when we got here on Thursday, and we got totally saturated walking from pub to pub, but that’s OK, as the sun started to peek through yesterday. Saturday has now dawned with barely a cloud to be [...]
My oldest and best friend James has arrived back in the country from a year long sojourn in the country of his origin - England. I’ve missed him terribly, and have found upon his return that life has continued almost exactly where it left off. We still talk about the same old things, [...]
In a drastic break with the past, I’ve bitten the bullet, and blown away Scott’s long serving website layout, and migrated wholesale to wordpress. I may get Scott to make it look a bit better at some point, but for now, I’ve settled on my own cow-inspired logo, and a very clean and simple [...]
I’ve been ripping all the old demo recordings my old band, Still, made in response to a couple of questions about them from people.
Still were:
Myself (guitar, vocals)
Paul Wansbone (guitar, bass, vocals)
Andrew Parsons (keys, bass)
Mel Parsons (was Brown) (drums)
and for a while
Steve Parkinson (guitar, bass, vocals)
Songs were written by Myself, Paul, and Steve, and arranged by the band.
Most of our stuff can be found here. It’s pretty raw, and yes, I can’t sing. 
I was most proud of My Place, which I wrote, and I Have Fallen, written by Paul. Read on for the song notes, so I can apologise for things like Frown, which was never right, but could have been so much better. It makes me cringe just listening to it, so sorry… Zero-G is cool though…
I’ll put up some live stuff, when I get around to getting it digitised. Hopefully I can find some recordings of Steve’s songs as well…
