I've always thought there's a fine balance between order and chaos.  A perception that can be altered through perspective alone.  Sometimes I sympathise with Brick from Tennessee Williams' Cat On A Hot Tin Roof - eagerly awaiting that click in my to upset the balance, or at least laugh about it.  Maybe it's the beginnings of alcoholism, maybe it's just the punk in me.  The story behind the picture is a pretty hilarious incarnation of such a concept - delivered with my best friends, on a VERY rainy night, somewhere in Hanoi.  


The Punk In Me

Red Line

This song sounds nothing like the Blues, however there is a blues organ in it!  I regret giving up piano lessons as a little shit, now I'm limited to 3 note chords and a terrible Ray Charles impersonation - I did manage to record a couple of those 3 note chords on here though!
Subtle shout-out to Berkeley punk veterans Rancid on here and their classic, Ruby Soho.  Lyrically, I guess the song deals with getting older, which at 27 may not be much, but you're always left wondering how things might have been different.  

Technicolour Blues

This one's a re-recording of an older song.  It features an audio recording of a snippet of probably the biggest trolling in the history in history - the final words of Orson Welles' radio broadcasting of War Of The Worlds - all the way back in 1938!  The picture was taken from the Quaibrucke in Zurich by one of my friends (I can't actually remember who I stole it from but thanks for that, whoever you are). It features a logo I was messing around with a while back - the design of which is a pretty cool little trick my brother taught me.  Also thanks to Alec for lending me the heavily featured acoustic on this one.
