If you’ve ever had anything to do with me at all, you’ll know that I have a number of websites and projects in various stages of development. Some of those projects are taking up more of my attention because they’re more immediately successful, and others need more energy and attention than I have to spare. [...]

Number 3 is too young… I was watching some old episodes of Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Really old episodes. Mark Lamarr was hosting. And when they did the lineup, the question was ‘Which one of these is Paul Gray – the bass player from Eddie and the Hot Rods?’. I know him! He works for [...]

I blogged here a couple of days ago that I’ve started a blog for the book I’m writing. I chose the name ‘Now We Are Different’ and added it to the list of blogs I’m running at WordPress.com. These are not the blogs that I host myself, just those scrap-booky ones where I throw stuff [...]

New Music Strategies has been offline for some days now. I’m having difficulty getting the internet to believe that it’s back where it should be, and that it should stop redirecting to New Music Management – a handy holding spot where it resided temporarily while I did The Big Server Migration of 2008.
