Meh... I rather fancied seeing the blood moon last Friday But, either it couldn�t be arsed to rise above this godforsaken patch of sky I call home, or the storm barged in and nicked its thunder (All puns intended. None regretted. Come at me!) 
Meanwhile, I�m over the moon I couldn�t see. I�ve finally started making the kind of music my fifteen-year-old self would have obsessed over until the batteries exploded - curled up in an airless bedroom, clutching a Walkman like it was some sacred relic. Imagine the Chemical Brothers remixing Blink-182 after downing three Red Bulls and getting dumped by the girl they wrote half their lyrics about. It sort of sounds like that... only with more distorted guitar samples, overly compressed beats, and the emotional maturity of a fruit fly on a sugar crash (i.e. my default state) 
Think �all the small block-rocking things� and you might begin to understand why I�ve now developed the musical equivalent of writer�s block. Or rock block. Or just this brain rotting thing. If it weren�t for the ghastly necessity of employment � and my frankly pathological urge to spend hours bouncing around the brothership (named thus because my studio setup looks like a mothership cobbled together by two hungover frat bros armed with a single screwdriver and a shared sense of misplaced confidence), I might actually finish a song or three. Or at least get to leave home with something more than just the intro to something that sounds like a cursed remix of What's My Age Again?
It�s gotten so wildly out of hand that I�ve fled to my wife�s farm for the night (as we do all Friday evenings) but this time I brought only a pair of MIDI controllers and an external hard drive full of unfinished chaos. It�s now 1 AM. The dogs are asleep. The owls are judging me. And I�ve just realised I left all my clothes at home. Not some. All. I am a man with a Maschine and no clean socks or underpants.
In more ways than one, I now absolutely stink.
