Via Tania

Still in Sydney. Spending the next bunch of time swimming in the ocean, writing some songs, seeing loved ones… what else is there?

So I haven’t been writing as much as I wanted to but down under, it’s a bit harder. I don’t know why really. Maybe just travelling , it’s less attractive to sit infront of a computer. I check email only when I really should. Anyhow, the latest; finished shooting the ‘Fields’ video. Holy moly, that was a challenge, and not the acting part which I thought would be, but the temperature highs and lows, and regardless, I had to wear the same stuff picked out at the start. It was 3 days of shooting which I know is highly unusual. But the cinematography alone will make it worth watching. It is being made by Moopjaw.

It was fun seeing The Books play in Melbourne and yesterday I had a coffee with Vieux Farke Touré , Sydney Festival brings great people to the city and it’s a really fun time .

Vitamin D + ocean waves + little niece = happiness

…is actually very old. But, you know, I don’t like complicated things actually, and something that’s been discontinued for about 10 years may suit me fiiiiiiiiiine.

Well, we already had a christmas day, this weekend we ate too much , drank, got/gave a few gifts, went to a cool house party, got up, ate again, drank again. For the gray , dismal day it was I felt suprisingly upbeat and I am as always , super in love with my Milwaukee friends who are always listening to great music, making us food or taking us to great places , and just general lots of fun to hang out with. Some of them own a bar called Burnhearts, we go there everytime, so check it out if you’re ever there or specifically in Bayview.
Unrelated, I took some pics of my friends screen printing table, her prints are awesome but so is this right?

New i-mix! It’s the holidays and lots of people I know sew and create things in their studios, it’s kinda lonely. Here’s a mix for you all to sew to!

Here’s an earlier one , just stating the case, gawd I’m about to go craaaazy with mixes, I am including Via Tania in them, that’s a bit embarrassing but that’s why I am doing them raaaiiighhht? I can’t whisper any louder than this!!!!!!

oooh look, this will be totally fun….

There is another in Melbourne with The Books, who I love love dearly love to bits and pieces, will keep you posted on that one too. These will be solo which is ironic because I have been working on getting a new band together the last couple months.  Just wait and see. They are going to rock your socks off, well, when the time comes…
