Why do I always feel so young?

Last night all I wanted was to talk to you, but it's difficult on the phone... I didn't even get to call everyone I missed.

I'm still in love with you.

haha April Fools

Frankenbear (live)

So I'm playing a show on the 31st of October. It's an afternoon show, I will most likely play first.

You should come. I will play milkcrates!

John the Baptist

So I'm playing with John the Baptist when they come down to Christchurch. It's going to be loads of fun, I can almost guarantee it.

2 shows:

26th August at the Wunderbar (r18)

28th August at White Elephant HQ (AA) with Von Klap and The Unfaithful Ways.

The date on the poster for the all ages show is wrong.

We're destined to become our parents

I wrote a song in lieu of writing my essay (which I now have a weeks extension on).

This song is called Pols... I think you can download it from here

Afternoon Tea

We had an afternoon tea at my house, it was so much fun and everyone brought along something to share. There was lots of yum baking, I really enjoyed Netta's savoury muffins and T'nealle's animal pastries.

Will Roud played guitar for us, his music reminds me of Sunny Day Real Estate, although it doesn't sound the same, I really like it.

Teke & Craig played as well, this was great they played some great covers and Teke is always laughing.

Frankenbear played last, I enjoyed playing even though I made a lot of mistakes. My hand got cramp because I played too many songs.

I have some videos which I may upload later.

I will definitely organise another tea party in the near future.

Milkcrates

Here is a cover Frankenbear did for the Rosa tribute compilation, the song is called Milkcrates.

Rosa is one of my favourite bands ever, I hope it makes it on there.

There's a Love that Never Changes

After the Beat Street party I played a short, and personal, show at my place. We drunk wine and talked serious about the problems of the World.

Song is a cover of mewithoutYou- Allah, Allah, Allah

I wish you lived down my street

Not Me

Coming Soon

And she's moved away, away to Japan

thats what she told me but I find it hard to believe

You can always relive the memory

You can always relive the memory

He wants to act a movie,

she would rather play with her dolls

So I climbed into the chest and cried

I've got no one to play, no one to play!

We visit his place everyday

Every morning before work

I like to re-kindle a fire

a fire to burn under my bed

Guitar in a Bin [edited 25/5/10]

I broke all the strings on my guitar. Now it's just a drum.

We found one in the rubbish bin. Decided to throw it at cars

There's probably an explanation, for my behaviour.

But I think, I'll leave it at home

I wanted to run away but I hit a wall

Old lady at the bus stop said she'd tried.

Running from problems, doesn't seem to work

If you run from problems, you'll only find more

Turning a deaf ear

I took a plane away

but when I got there

all I could do was cry
