it's been a while since the last blog entry (on
this site anyway, i've been keeping the faith,
fair and square, on fat
planet...). so what's been happening? well,
the main reason for the slackness 'n' sickness
is the fbi's
first birthday. i've been working my scottish
ass off for the last few weeks in a marathon print
+ web + merchandise project getting the whole
shebang up and running. the fruits of the labour
started paying off this week, particularly today
when my little baby (aka fbi's first magazine)
came back from the printers, all shiny and new.
made me very proud indeed :-) the fun begins on
earnest this friday (27th) with a huge supporter
drive. if you're in sydney and you listen to the
station, then please help us out by becoming a
supporter. $6 a month isn't a great deal to pay
for independent radio, and by dipping your hand
in yer wallet, you ensure our longevity and ensure
that you new, innovative music (both local and
international) gets a fair hearing in the city
of sin. click
here for many more reasons to support, including
$30,000 worth of prizes...
 what
else has been occuring? myself and my fbi comrade
dan zilber have landed a new radio show through
the community radio association of australia.
it's broadcast from comradsat, their satellite
network, and can be picked up right across australia
from various stations who opt into receive it.
we're in very good company on comradsat, one of
our kin being coldcut's solid steel show. more
info to follow in the next few weeks, we're on
air beginning of october. but for a tiny preview,
here's our logo :-)
we have (and by we, i mean robyn) just designed
a
microsite for the new goldfrapp dvd, 'wonderful
electric'. there's a some video previews, e-cards
and downloadbale postcards to be had. we're also
working on a german version of the gronland
site (which is an odd project, to be sure).
i also managed to get my name into the sydney
morning herald, droning on about fbi (again)
other shit: here's
a little piece from iain on how commerce has
totally infiltrated culture in japan - a company's
theme song climbs to the top of the charts...
fbi comrade dan ilic is in athens for the games,
and has his own 'behind the scenes' weblog
- check out this
photo gallery for the oddly titled media room.
i also got to see hellboy, and screw everyone
else, i thought it was damn fine. mignola and
del torro have pulled it off!
