Whats been going on?
Wow. It's been awhile since my ass, has been around this neck of the woods. Been lots of news. So excuse me if I do this in dot point.
- I got engaged, yes you read that right. Miss Cynical I'm never getting married, is engaged. I met him last year, he was a support act for an artist I was merching for. And sang one of my all time favourite songs. And slowly after a lot of persistance from him, I agreed to go out with him, and we were lucky enough that he'd just finished up touring, so we were lucky enough to be together pretty much 24/7. Followed by our engagement in April this year. Followed by his label dropping the bomb on us that they were sending him to London for six months to start recording his third album, I made the decision to stay in Australia, and over the past few weeks, have relocated from Melbourne to Adelaide, until he gets back in November, because it's bloody hard to find somewhere on a three month lease. So for now I'm located and working out of Adelaide. Until we decide what we're doing when he gets back. Chances are when January/February rolls around we'll be up and away from here. Either London, NY, LA, or back to Melbourne.
- I was hosting a weekly Punk & Metal show titled Youth Riot on SYN FM in Melbourne, for the last six months. In that time I got to work and meet some awesome people, conduct some amazing interviews. But due to my relocation to Adelaide, I've had to leave the show behind, and hand over the reigns to some highly qualified ladies. Hopefully, I'll find another awesome radio gig soon, and be back assulting everyones ears on the radio, because by god it's an awesome, fun job.
- I haven't been merching for a couple of months now, and I'm missing it. I'm hoping a tour I like will come along soon that I can get on. I decided I'd take a break because within the first 5 months of the year I worked with over 30 seperate artists and bands (last year when I started merching I only worked with 13 artists). This year I have worked with everyone from Nightwish, to Cyndi Lauper, Incubus, Magaret Cho, Toto, Ray Davies, Sinead O'Connor, Harry Connick Jnr, Patty Griffin, The Black Crowes, Duran Duran, Jose Feliciano, Eels, I even did a short stint for the Kiev Ballet.
So thats about all the major gossip. For the regular day-to-day stuff. You can check it all out over at my site.
