The band come from New Zealand. The band is called Crowded House. They have had some Read more about “Your instinct can’t be wrong…” – one man’s love of Crowded House[…]
When I look back now, its pretty incredible. I saw Oasis twice at their peak, and in all honesty the only way was down for my favourite band.

On my 2007 World Tour, the first night I turned up at the Planet Traveler Hostel on my own, in search of wisdom, people and Read more about Milestone Method – Maybe I’m On My Own Still (But At Least I’m Happy)[…]
My obsession with the young Miss Kylie Minogue is a twenty year one, and the first time I ever saw her was on TV on an old Australian Soap Opera called “Neighbours.” Kylie played a mechanic called Charlene and wore dungarees, hooking up with Scott Robinson on the show. Scott Robinson was played by Jason Read more about “Everyday is all there is”: My obsessions with Kylie Minogue[…]
I worked for the very busy and very cool PR/Communications Agency ‘Bite’ in 2006 and 2007. As most people will know, working in PR (Public Relations) means long busy hours, but often some nice freebies and perks. I was very fortunate to be working on the Apple brand.
