Ok it's the same url, but it's a new website that works better than Myspace so everyone's a winner right?

Census thoughts...

Census form has arrived - aside from concerns about Lockheed's involvement there's also The Census Campaign to think carefully about.

Writing "Jedi" in the religion box is fun and all, but http://census-campaign.org.uk/ has good reasons why the non-religious should tick the "no religion" box rather than being flippant, or ticking a box that represents your cultural heritage rather than practicing affiliation.

This isn't an attack on the religious, but an important way for those without a belief to be counted and considered when it comes to the justification of future policy makers*.

That's surprisingly coherent considering the amount of Lemsip I've had today.....



*assuming that government policy has anything in mind at the moment other than "CUT IT - CUT ALL THE MONEY! ALL OF IT!"

Album + Gigs: March, April & May

HELLO THERE! The album is tantilisingly close to being put in the post and made into an actual real life object, rather than just a collection of .wavs, Photoshop files, and good intentions. I can't wait. Pictures of artwork, free mp3s, and other such attention-seeking internetery to follow.






In the meantime, here's some gigs I'm playing over the next couple of months;

16/03 - The Fleece, Bristol with Dave McPherson (from Inme) & Howard James Kenny
25/03 - Bath
31/03 - Slak, Cheltenham

07/04 - The Greyhound, Nottingham
08/04 - Stereo, York
09/04 - The Garrett, Manchester
10/04 - The Cellar Bar, Worcester TBC

I'm also booking album-release-plug-a-thon tour, so if anyone wants me to come make noise in their face/has suggestions for a venue/promoter/band in your neck of the woods  then get in touch via oxygenthiefmusic [at] hotmail [dot] com or twitter.com/oxygenthiefyeah:

30/04 -
01/05 -
02/05 -
03/05 -
05/05 -
06/05 -

That's it for now, laters
