I was there to write a news story on Leeroy Lefty McGill. Infamous gangland killer. I ended up staring at his defence lawyer. She represented them all - Lefty, Two-Tone, Danger Derek, Rail con Jon. And got every rat bastard acquitted. She got me between the eyes like a deadeye hangover. And I wan't alone. Hell - she might as well had the gavel in her hand. I got lost in her inner thighs and outer lies. I told her about my ex-wife and the fortune I was...

Becoming a VJ - kitting yourself out (computer)

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 10:09:57 GMT

So, you're going to take the plunge and VJ up. What do you need? Every second wanker in the world will tell you need a mac book pro, and a projector that runs on your own smug sense of industrial design. You don't need either. Now I'm not bagging macs - I love them with a passion. No, I'm bagging mac owners who thing they have the monopoly on art and creativity. They don't, and anyone who thinks so needs to be shot. At dawn. In the minge. Nope, you don't need a mac, but you do...

How to be a vj part 1

Wed, 07 Feb 2007 07:53:23 GMT

So you wanna be a VJ do you? Really? You don't... No, really? You sure? Well OK. Here are the three commandments of VJing. Actually their more like three truths - without the smiting. 1.

I am none of these and...

Here's a video I did with Koshowko. I gotta say, I love green screen.

What I did on my holidays

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 10:57:33 GMT

Don't know about you, but it shits me to tears recounting your holiday adventures. You end up sounding like some form of bastard stand up comedian with overused material. You also feel like a bit of a c--t for having a good time while evry other bastard is stuck in Melbourne. That having been said...

My VJ Bio

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 09:30:53 GMT

So, I thought I'd write a music bio. I've written them for other folk, I figured I might as well write one for myself. It's bloody difficult: you have to straddle the fine line between self deprication and alluding to your own ego size. I think I may have done ok though. Click through.
