I have gone...

Hello.

For those of you still subscribed to this wonderful blog, I am here to inform you that, as I am no longer travelling, it is DEFUNCT.

However, you can still follow my musical goings-on(s?) at my NEW site, ardeem.com. If you get there quick, there are couple of early mixes of my soon-to-be-released tracks on the front page just waiting for you to listen to.

So, thanks for subscribing – there are links on the right panel of ardeem.com which will allow you to subscribe to that, which would be nice. There's also a mailing list you can sign up to. How exciting!

Thanks again.
Jacob

It's another Friday afternoon

And we have another gig tonight, so I am posting here.

Is that too cynical?

I have been busy building a room. Here is a photo:

Note that when I say that I have been building a room, I mean that in the loosest sense possible. I am trying to help and lift things and generally getting in the way while Ivan (pictured) actually builds.

Cool, huh? When this room is built I will be able to set up a studio thing of sorts and get BUSY! Like a bee.

In additional you're-reading-Jacob's-blog-about-things-that-Jacob-does news, last weekend Kanchana (of Fat Gold Chain fame) and I played at WOMAD in Adelaide with Ash Grunwald. There are some photos and videos floating around and I will put some on here when I get a chance. It was good. I hit some things on stage in front of lots of people and may have even clapped my hands a few times.

So, that gig. Tonight at The Edinburgh Castle Hotel, on the corner of Albion Street and Sydney Road, Brunswick. There are three bands playing, Penelope Knight (my lover) is doing a solo piano and vocals set, Brother Nature will be pumping the room full of all sorts of electronic passion and Fat Gold Chain will do that thing we do. Should be good – $5 entry. If you come and pay $5 to get in, we may even give you a CD or sell you a T-shirt. Or give you a hug.

Thanks for reading, I may eventually stop spamming this blog with Fat Gold Chain things. Maybe. In the meantime, if you are reading this blog and putting up with my shameless plugs, you are probably the sort of person who should go to fatgoldchain.com and sign up to our email list (if you haven't already). 

Thanks again.

Love from Jacob

Another fun game for you to play

Hello.

I have another game for you to play. On the internet. It's called Quest For The Crown. Here is a video of the game being completed, in case you are too scared to try for yourself:

On another note, Fat Gold Chain has some gigs coming up. One of them is tomorrow (Friday) night at The Bender Bar in High Street, Thornbury. It's free – please feel free to come. You can go to fatgoldchain.com and join our mailing list for more details of upcoming gigs and other such exciting information.

BYE!

I'm going out tonight

To see Tricky. I also bought a car. Well, I put a deposit down anyway.

 It is a van and I should have it soon. We'll see how it goes.

Here's something for you to do tonight if you, unlike me, are not going to see Tricky:

LOVE

Have fun.
Bye.

Here's what I do at 1 in the morning:

Enjoy.

Nothing much to say, but this is awesome:

I think that is pretty cool.

That's all for now.
Bye.

Oh, I'm back, by the way.

Hello. Been quiet here, hasn't it?

I'm now back in Australia and glad to be so. In the last week and a half I have basically been running around trying to work out what I'm doing with myself. So far I'm still not sure. I know that there's a Fat Gold Chain gig coming up on Sunday week (February 20th). I'm sure information about that will be available later, either here or at fatgoldchain.com.

That's about it for now, I'm not sure if there's much more to say.

Here's an video that someone made based on Steve Reich's composition 'clapping music' that I found so as to make this post slightly more interesting:

Thank you, as always, for reading this.

And this.

Ok bye.
