Now listen up I have happened across the International Kazoo Orchestra or Kazooniverse as they are known. I bumped into a member at the press launch for the London International Documentary Festival (she also reviews films for CNN) and the upshot is that a detachment of the Orchestra are going to perform prior to the screening of the film at the festival (31 of March at Curzon Renoir ). Which, call me odd, I think is super exciting….and really now it’s a must go to event !

So the the screening will be entertaining and lively and hopefully there’ll be some media types to interrogate afterwards as I am doing a Q & A as well

Well what’d'ya know I am back, after getting snowed in and frozen out through a grim January and bleak Febuary. The suns back and I am no longer feeling that life is chopping my hands off and then demanding I play the piano….

There’s a little good news regarding the film as well ( that freakstone around my neck) :-) It’s in a couple of Festivals – amazing – The London International Documentary Festival and the Boston Underground Film Festival. I’m pleased it’s a start and a good one, So lets hope that the ever expanding pile of “not selected” letters slows down a bit – Oh and I have joined a circus WTF….

Hi for all 27 of you that read this blog – thanks – this is the last entry for a while.

I need to regather my strength and enthusiasm after a year of struggle

The screening of the film at the Curzon Soho has been cancelled by them, with an indeterminate promise of a reschedule.

I am ending this blog as all my attempts to get this film to a wider audience via the film and TV industry have failed, it maybe because it’s a crap film – though you’ll never know – I may release the whole movie online at some point….

Bye

So I couldn’t think of anything to write over Christmas so i didn’t ….but it’s new year and I feel I ought to try.

damn it’s cold …..really cold, like , I spilt some water on the garden path and it froze as it hit the ground. I have decided to keep the Christmas tree for the rest of the year – with it’s decor of crows feathers and rose petals, lights and baubles it looks nice so I’ll keep it at least till I am bored by its niceness and then I’ll plant it in the botanical gardens at night – kind of urban flora attack. Still blundering into walls with the film as the powers that be think it’s not redemptive enough (wtf…!) There’s the screening at the Curzon cinema in London on the 25th that may well be the only time it’s ever seen in this country. Ah t’was ever thus the outcast artist etc etc …. I am going to post a picture of the Xmas tree ….one day …probably around July.

This is used to attach new leaves to the trees in spring ....

Oh and I didn’t win the award at the DOdo fest …some good looking young actor in a wheelchair won it  – I think …but thanks for the votes.

here’s a little blog I cut for the fish – the Berlin escapade – Supergrass seemed subdued but they love little fish and next there’s some news about West Papua…

gwI vanished into Ghostworld for a while. Ghostworld is where my mind sometimes lives and it makes communicating and recognising the “real” world very difficult, mostly because the “real”world seems spectral and fiercely cold. But anyway enough of my ramblings. The issue of MUD magazine should be out and full of stuff about the freak show movie – though I have not seen the mag yet. Calgary Underground film fest seem interested, which is fun because elk and geese have a right to see movies as well. The Fish are off on tour and I went and filmed them in Berlin. I met the West Papuan Government in Exile (they live in Oxford!) And it’s raining, a lot and lots and lots…..More tomorrow (rain and words that is)….and a video blog from Berlin

Here’s a little videoblog I made yesterday night on the handycam for the fish myspace site. The chaos of the last week has subsided and things are trundling along in a merry fashion.

I am off to the freak show at Venice beach tomorrow and am unfortunately having to accompany Linda Perry and J to see Patti Smith tonight so an evening of bad poetry and incompetent rock is assured – let you know how that turns out. A small thing but in LA they don’t call you on the telephone – they “reach out” ha ha ha….I think all the sunshine has melted their brains.

Argggh…Here’s a little clip of the fish in their musical aquarium, splish splashing around. it’s all been a little fraught of late, but I’m sure it will improve ……
