UK people: I'm thrilled by the warm appreciation from those who've seen Evolver:62. The production company Liverpool West is US-based and has focused most distribution efforts there so far. There is just one UK availability, which is amzn.to/4bP7bGS

Final Mew gig (well, final with Jonas, as they say) in London on Thursday was quite the experience. They'll be missed.

Well done, Italy, for a popping #WinterOlympics Opening Ceremony that rightfully gave both Raffaella Carrà AND Prisencolinensinainciusol the props they deserve as Italian cultural heritage of great esteem.

So that was Mew.
Discovered them 20 years ago in London and was here for the final gig with Jonas once again in London.
What a trip.

Sixteen diagnoses a day isn’t just a statistic.
It’s sixteen people, like Eva, suddenly trying to understand a cancer they may never have heard of.
And sixteen families searching for clear, reliable information when they need it most.

Getting excited for Mew this Thursday.
Still amused that I bought this album in 2007(?) because of a half remembered positive review and because I thought, because of this artwork, that they were a bunch of badass women.
It’s been at the top of my album charts for nearly two decades!
