Last Night's Lizard

Had a great session in the studio last night with my band MJ Ultra. On the way there I spotted this lizard (tokage) on the wall. He/she was quietly sunning themselves, so I took a quick snap of it. I was reminded of the Beatles song 'Happiness is a warm gun' which has the line:

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane

Molice video on YouTube

I have finally decided to post the video I made for Japanese Indies band Molice to YouTube.
I had originally decided that I would only post it to Dailymotion because the quality of the player is much better, however the video has gotten only 237 hits in 3 months so obviously it's not getting enough exposure. So, it's with some reluctance that I am sticking on YouTube. The reason for my reluctance is that things just don't look any good on their crappy flash-player. But don't forget you can see the original on my website.

Summer is here

Well the summer has finally made it's presence felt in Tokyo. It's so humid this evening and I feel like I just wanna scream!
Nothing much happening on the music or film front. In fact for the first time in a long time I have nothing planned, nothing on the back burner, no ideas in the pipeline, nothing, zero, zilch. In fact I am starting to wonder if I will ever play another live show with MJ Ultra or make another short film such is the scarcity of action. So nothing to do today except to polish my guitars and change the strings on them. But, what a fine pair they make.
