With gusto we address sobriety right off the bat, and the pressure of social media perfection. At the best of times, it allows us to show our many faces but can frustrate you to seek a simple life. To be lost in reverie can be bliss while gazing at the western skies. Families separated, for what ever reason, can feel like you carry the world on your shoulders, heavy, in need of a lifeboat. In Venice, Italy, apparently two mimes looking the same is better than one. The youth in Manchester, already understand that things just come and go. California has traitors in the day and idols nova gazing just to feel the same. Never mind that now, nothing's shocking anymore, is it? Keep your head right, and a group with love, will never say to you...this is the end.

If you come across bears in trees, are they really there or just the sounds of sleep. Make friends not clones, and don't ever think I hate you. Separation, and the desire to reach out and touch someone may leave you feeling isolated, like islands. This season, focus on your house plants, as many actually look like little aliens. Chill with the contradictions they present with many showing true movements throughout the day. You'll experience horror when they die on you for no apparent reason, colliding with your expectations for them. All I know is that you'll thrive with the new found knowledge that new love and new music can save your life. Wander wild and wide to break up with yourself and embrace being a stranger in a strange land.

I'm right back in it, and on cloud nine, loving the retro feel of songs these days. Bert & Ernie, our favorite couple, still enjoy a good suns up, only wanting each other.

I'm not calm, under any type of canopy you put me under. I immediately want to break whatever stencil you put me in or lunar cycle you'd prefer me to to say in....not gonna happen! Though I'm a courier of audio joy, as foreign sounds are what you'll discover here. Listening though, all I need is you, to listen, explore that crystal ball, so when you explode with electricity you'll understand why you gotta be you. Though no, it's not selfish at all, it will be empowering for all of us, in the hope that those who have struggled with the same issues, through eyes closed, will find a second skin to celebrate and find that it's nothing like the night struggles we find in those desolate times. Across that very fine line, please kids, find the joy in the every second, minute, hour of every day. Academia doesn't have to be found in an institution. Lines blur when it come to shag rock and romance and violets being the antibiotics to all I'll be needing in exhistence.

Hold me close and tight 'cuz tonight's show is one to be shared. Those cities of crystal are always brilliantly faceted, oft exposing a bike thief or two escaping an estate on Sunday. No need to lie about your kiwi addiction, who doesn't love those fuzzy green globes! Like a moth to a flame, I often fall for a light that never goes on, the darkness can spark creativity, a kind of stereo explosion of the soul. I have to admit, she knows she's not always on my mind, perched on a pylon, quivering with excitement for the chase, so busy taking the highline, unable to keep myself from loving you (me?). Unconditional love is often a beautiful desperation in and of itself. Predicting future haunts can be the glue to wandering wildly. Choking up, be a bandit, stealing those loser feelings from all that don't need them. Here you will find a voodoo all your own.

Many things may not be easy in life, like getting out of bed in the morning, yet the blue you are feeling is shared by many. When you feel like that, please, call me back, you know I will love you to the highs, that is my only motive. I will shelter you boy, in the absence you are feeling. I still blush as a teen when the golden hour shines on youth so haunted that all you want to do is come home. On deaf ears, I may seem I'm always saying nothing, though I promise I am not. We need an escape down the pacific coast highway to abduct and dispel those feelings because I know who I am and can help you know the same. Let's play some tennis, together, because alone, one call fall into needing a priory that expels all pleasure. You may fall into a headspace island that doesn't spangle the true joy of life. Hold on to those bloodlines, rely on them, steal their support even if it's for the simple joy of a screaming for ice cream. All of this could lead to a great mass of color, euphoria through a deaf heaven, is a heaven none-the-less.

Under the coral palms, let's start off by drinking too much, self-destructive behavior may at times lead to cold sweats. While at The Royston Club I had the chance to meet Arthur and what a heavenly meeting that was. Easy days after led to cherry lemonades by the pool with Marlone looking quite fetching in a one-piece regardless of the love lost between us. Really really, recognizing toxicity hopefully leads to uncovering your favourite flavor, like winning the lottery! I woke up this morning with a bad dream, wondering what my hippo campus was trying to tell me. Are there bad habits I'm not aware of? Am I stunted and stuck in a coma culture I can't find my way to awake from? Understandably, with a general ennui feeling of disenchantment with society and putting on a brave face when in fact you feel the complete opposite. I know it's not my business but have you noticed the mess I made here? Honestly, you don't need to hire a private eye or scan a thousand faces to see the feens and ugly souls that make you feel not good enough. Keep the faith and know that soon, here it comes, freedom in all its advertisement, will be yours.

Sweden is where I am spinning around day dreaming of making friends. Though don't call me out on that because I'll make a u-turn and confess I'm gaining perspective and keeping perseverance. Though muddy as an elephant can be, I'll fall in love and run away on holiday. Understanding how beautiful life can be even in our saddest and loneliest moments. I may be a little spacey, and babbling lots of nothing, I'll still be drawing huge castles in my room, reading a fairytale in the supermarket, learning that no-one teaches you how to live. I may need 18 cigarettes at this point to help me fit in overseas in France so I don't freeze like a mannequin. There's a fat chance I'll make it up to Scotland, even if I was wearing a jetpack to get me there. This is what it feels like in the absence of you, on an island with no pulse, lovesick wishing for oblivion.

On this show, I am all over the place; starting out "Wild" in the Netherlands, doubling up in Manchester and Los Angeles. A beautiful drive up the coast is worth every mile on the Pacific Coast Highway. There's a quick stop on the edge of oblivion in Portland, finding common ground in New Zealand, and a call to action from Florida. I touch on utopia and battling bi-polar depression. It's a great show, have a wee listen!

Starting off with big ideas very close to home, shaking it up in Stockport and still finding our paradise even though summer has waned. Nostalgia for the aughts is a real thing while running after butterflies from Texas to Berlin. New Jersey is at a crossroads, like so many of us. Today is not your fight though driving in VR might find you a new discovery you didn't know you needed. A nagging retrospect will drive you to cut it loose in the end, FTW! Take the journey with me!

The journey starts in Nashville, where we come back to quite a few times. We have a good time in Brooklyn learning a little patience. I'd love to be forty three again, then I wouldn't be so sad about this break-up. I'll release the creatures in Stockholm, hoping it brings my ladycakes back to Stuttgart. Overthinking will get you nowhere on your way to everything good. Hot air in L.A. can help you be something special. And finally, don't ever ask a stranger "are you bored yet?" as that might well lead to it being just about you.

Any casual vice close to home deserves an open letter to Glasgow, searching for that utopia to delight in. Getting back together in the far west, we'll ride white sands, discover cool ghouls, and overshare to the point of addiction. I'm not sure the power of love can help the modern yuppies but it's worth a shot. On doctor's order, we'll revel in the big disaster a good team can become. Always be a good citizen and try not to kill anyone. Back in Glasgow, I discover the importance our relationships are, and not to waste them. Finally, when you see blood in the water, scream, scream as loud as you can.

Been feeling mentally fuzzy, like I'm in a red cloud lately, needing a polar state to cover me and help me feel comforted. This week, I won't be paying off any debts, but I will realize that I truly need to sit back and breathe, more oxygen in my lungs from all my hause plants is what I need. Rinsing off 2020, and its very flawed design fraught with bad news, I search for Darwin's Eden. Truth be told, I'm terrified of anyone's love, suddenly realizing I've been hurt/destroyed too many times before. Life is not the funhouse its played up to be, though it does have its mindblowingly spectacular moments. Keep swimming against the forces that try to drown you, and you'll be uplifted and remembered by a world who loves you.
