White Noise Festival - I've played three of these now and each one has been immense fun to be involved in and anyway I can support this event I will do. The Christmas 2009 show saw the line up braden even more and was a real success. All proceeds from the event go to LOROS. A compilation cd was produced for the Summer 09 and Christmas 09 events which you can get from here. I encourage you to buy the White Noise Two comp as it is great (Death of London's Kiri Kiri is a short sharp masterpiece) and the money you pay will go to charity. Do it.
Pacific Ocean Fire - my good friends POF called it a day this year. I've known them all for a long time and in the last year and a half had become kind of a part time member (that's how I like to think about it!) so the oppurtunity of wigging out with them dissapearing saddens me no end. I am very proud to have contributed to their final work Hibernation Songs and recommend you check the Biily-O out of it.
There was also the tape - did I mention that?
Plans are afoot for 2010 - going to try and record the full version of 'Spring' (aka the birdy song) in the early part of the year to hopefully release March-ish time. There is still talk of a film of sorts and also the possibilty of a one off audio-visual collaboration in the summer, which if it goes ahead will be both nerve wracking and amazing.
Merry Christmas, my loves.
