Freelance writer, designer and musician, and the original Pop!, a studio "band" that did 'Tingly' with Frente's Angie Hart in '95, and more recently 'Waiting'.
Hey, thanks to everybody who's voted for Pop!'s 'Hey Yo!" in Triple J's Hottest 100! ;D
Seriously though, to those who actually get votes, I hope that the good ones amongst you do really well.

Just a tiny bit excited - nah, who am I kidding? A whole LOT excited, actually - to be heading from Melbourne to Tokyo to see @sparksofficial.bsky.social in May! I wonder if they'll play 'When I'm with You'? Hope so...

Tired of getting smudgies all over your CDs because all your favourite artists cheaped out and went tight cardboard sleeves? As always, the wonderful Japanese have an answer - little CD-sized LP baggies!

Hmm, now that it's summer here, maybe my Aussie friends will find this more relevant? Happy 2026!

Today I learned that I don't fit in a Honda S660 safely because I'm too stupid tall. :(

All I wanted was a Forza Horizon 6 trailer. Was that too much to ask for? Pout!

Just FYI, it's Bandcamp Friday right now, meaning that anything you pay for somebody's music - including shiny new Pop! single 'Different' - goes to the muso, without a huge cut being taken by the Bandcamp people. This has been a community service announcement. 🤗

It's time for a new Pop! single, and it's quite literally 'Different'!
Please, check it out in any of the usual places - linktr.ee/popau

Well, my music may not have gone - and most likely never will go - big, but a classic PlayStation memory of mine certainly has! Happy 30th in Australia, PlayStation. 🎮

Oh look! It's a lyric video for my new single, 'Hey Yo!" - the first thing that I've made in Premiere Pro after crash coursing it...

My new Pop! single 'Hey Yo!' is now available on Bandcamp (pay what you want, even $0 if you wish) and should be chugging its way onto streaming services, too - linktr.ee/popau
Please, give it a spin?

So, my LG OLED that I now used to love has let me down - zero power. And only three years old... Now it's like I'm playing in PIP, but at least I had a spare monitor lurking about waiting for its big chance. ;)

All sorts of fun Britpop (and other) reimaginings on the channel, too.

If not for this Fisher & Paykel washing machine ad from 1993/1994, 'Tingly' would not exist. I'm so delighted that I found it again - it wasn't the tune itself, but it did provide the inspiration for me to write a piece of '60s-inspired girlie pop... 'Tingly'!

A happy 30th birthday to 'Tingly'!
The little song that fought the odds and made it out into the world on October 9, 1995.
To celebrate, download a free original instrumental demo, slapped onto MiniDisc the day that I first wrote the music back in 1994. An interesting curio. :)

A friendly reminder that there are still some copies of the fab 'The Waiting E.P.' available from Sound As Ever's Bandcamp. Not only do you get Angie and my recent(ish) single 'Waiting', but you also get a newly remastered version of the song that its story follows up on, 'Tingly'.

And the word for 2025 is "alleged". You can have vision of a crime being committed and the person committing it, yet it's still somehow alleged? FFS!

I've just finished 'No Secrets' by Graham "Buzz" Bidstrup - a cracking read. Just really sad seeing so, so many "(RIP)" throughout.

Just searched "Donkey Kong Bananza motion sickness" and learned that I am most definitely not alone.... 🍌🤢

An environmental tragedy of epic proportions is playing out on the streets of Oakleigh, as myriad elderly mattresses beach themselves helplessly on nature strips thoughout the suburb... Is there no end to this senseless waste?
Oh there is, the annual council hard waste pickup. Phew! ;)

Taking a break from yabbering on about my solo and Pop! music stuff just for a second - there are only so many times that I can beg you to listen - I had to share this... I can now play 'Tetris' on a chicken nugget! ;D

Another massive thanks to @amazingradio.com and @amazingradio.us for being by far the greatest supporters of my new single 'Love Blue Skies' - you really are the best! 💗
If only radio in my home country did the same...
