Money no object.
Please apply in writing, supplying a profile of the position to be considered accompanied by brief covering letter.
Many thanks for your interest!

Vienna

This city is fantastic- you can smoke inside buildings, after dinner, over a quiet drink, in a hotel room, or even in a dance club- honestly, wherever you might like. Of course, this will soon change, and the war for our lungs and health organisations will see another skirmish concluded in favour of those who always have our best interests at heart- thank the Lord. It is a dirty, smelly, anti-social affectation to persist with. Soon, hopefully, one will only be able to smoke (indoors) in lawless, undeveloped countries with low GDP and corrupt, miscreant authority. Thus our pure, enlightened innards will be preserved, we will live as statues of virtue, striding the earth in search of other dirty, smelly, self-destructive habits from which to liberate the poor fools.


Habits like music, for instance. I've noticed a great preponderance of musicians are unkempt in both hairstyle and lifestyle. Is this really necessary? Surely the current troubles being suffered by record labels could have been simply avoided through a little personal discipline. The kind of discipline you can detect in the cut of one's trousers, the hour of one's descent into sleep, the trim of one's body or facial hair, the class of one's degree (one does have a degree, surely). If there were more like the cellist I saw busking in Vienna, exquisitely talented and turned out, piracy and internet media distribution would never become a problem.


Even the pigeons in Vienna smack somewhat of the endemic elitism of that city. I like it. A lot.


Architecturally, the Austrian capital was a rather charming hybrid of religious Italianate pomp and that slightly austere Germanic grandeur we find so appealing in our minimally technical club nights, that whiff of autobahn and concrete. But this was emphatically clean. The cleanest capital I've ever visited, certainly.


Perhaps my favourite aspect, however, were the sausages. Though to associate them with our bland, watery, gristly, and distinctly unmeaty offerings seems rather unfair. They shall remain nameless, therefore, since I have no recollection of their textual sensation, merely that of taste, which was sublime. To them, I raise my glass.

The Heavy Photoshoot

We drove for hours in a fantastic cream Merc from the 80's. In the safe seclusion of Noid woods, The Heavy, musicians of the best kind, bundled me into the boot. It seemed purpose built- you could have fit 3 people in there- more in pieces. This was all most enjoyable. The band are signed to ninjatune, and are currently on tour in France. I recommend.

Rockfeedback Launched

After months of fun, we've launched the new Rockfeedback.com website... It's a much needed makeover, and hopefully brings the design more into line with the editorial- which has always been inordinately acute. It's still in beta, and we're still making the odd tweak here and there, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know...

Tvbomb Berlin

I'm exhausted and I'm recovering from mild Gastro-Enteritis. Otherwise, this week we are going to launch the new Tvbomb website, including the inaugural issue of the Tvbomb magazine. This issue is concerned primarily with the art, film and music scenes of Berlin, that second culture capital after Liverpool. It's been a lot of work, but we're actually beginning to feel really pleased with what we've done. This is a novel sensation, and I'm sure it will pass. But for now: wonderful. Go visit the Tvbomb site, get Joost and watch some films. We're particularly happy to bring you some work by Miron Zownir, brilliant German outsider artist and film-maker. Do if you happen to have a spare moment watch Now or Never (vidcap above)- it's hilarious, and Joost will probably censor it as soon as they figure out what's going on, so there may be a limited window of opportunity...

About

I am a designer, hack-writer, photographer and company director living and working in London. This blog is a collection of things I see, find, do and photograph. That's me on the left, in 2006, with Harry Miskin, long-time friend and collaborator.

I was born in Bristol (I love this bridge), went to school in Leeds and studied English Literature at King's College London. I've worked freelance in creative agencies, IPTV, film, record labels, web companies, magazines and hospitals (though that was actually temping). I've enjoyed all of this immensely. I also love traveling, books, wine, films, music, architecture, typography and other equally obvious bourgeois pass-times.

Please do get in touch if you want to talk about something.
