Well, Twitter is paying off already (having only submitted to the twit about a week and a half ago, that’s saying something). In that dizzying land of other people’s updates Indyish encountered Chris Blake and via twitage was introduced to this music video he’d made for his song “Someone Else.” The video is smart, super [...]

Writting this just to say that I’m going to Berlin to a gig later this month. I was invited by composer, former DNA member, Arto Lindsay to play in a festival curated by him, Worldtronics (november 29).
