I Hate Mornings

I’ve been mentioned on two Australian blogs in one week. I can now safely say I’m *big in Australia*. About time too!

h3. Kate loves me big

Kate Mason (of “Love You Big”:http://love-you-big.blogspot.com/) featured me on her “Talented Friends Tuesday”:http://love-you-big.blogspot.com/2008/06/talented-friends-tuesday-ii.html series, which is wildly generous and very cool. Apparently I’m “irritatingly clever”, “endearingly humble” and an “all-round lovely bloke”. I would say that’s a fair appraisal, but my endearing humility leaves me no choice but to say “Oh, don’t be silly. It’s nothing special, really.” while furtively analysing my feet.

h3. Mr Thinking thinks I’m OK

I posted a new song “last week”:blog/new-song-ten called Ten, which was inspired by a book I read from the School Of Thinking in Melbourne. Ever quick off the mark, “Michael Hewitt-Gleeson”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hewitt-Gleeson, head honcho at the Thinking School featured my song on “the SOT(School of Thinking) blog”:http://www.schoolofthinking.org/2008/you-times-me-by-10/, thus potentially catapulting me into the celebrity stratosphere of Melbourne’s alternative think-rock scene. Thank you, Michael.

h3. There’s always a sneaky way

While most bands are still trying to attack the celebrity dragon head-on, I’m being featured on beautifully obscure (and obscurely beautiful) blogs on the other side of the planet. Nobody will ever expect that!

But seriously, I have it on the “highest”:http://www.netblogsrocknroll.com/ “authority”:http://newmusicstrategies.com/ that niche blogs and tiny tribes are the future of music distribution in the digital age. It’s all about connecting, man… And I’m on a mission to connect.

As Wayne Campbell said so insightfully back in “‘92″:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105793/quotes, “Get the net!”
