Thompson Twins Live and ‘Into The Gap’ Review
I must say, I really enjoyed the Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey performance at Sydney's Enmore Theatre last night (22 October 2022).
Supporting Algorithm
In this post I discuss the different ways to support me with the release of the Algorithm album and my position on streaming and physical media.
Multiple Space March albums underway
"I could be wrong, I could be right" (tenuous PiL reference), but I'm rather ambitiously working on four new Space March albums! I have 40+ songs in production and have completed 16. When I get [...]
