  • Tales from Nowhereland at Massey University, June 11, 2025

    Filmed as part of my PhD, I performed the Tales at Massey University’s film theater during a very rainy afternoon. Photos are by Russell Kleyn.

  • Tales from Nowhereland at Undisclosed Location, Tawa, April 26, 2025

    Sponsored by Black Flock Art Collective, I was invited to tell my tales at a private function back in the bush near Tawa! The first set was performed outside at dusk. The second set was performed inside a house lit by candlelight. It was the most stripped down version of the Tales I’ve performed, using my phone to provide audio, and a karaoke speaker to add my microphone. A very magical night!

  • Tales from Nowhereland at Undercurrent Books 11.24.24

    I performed Tales from Nowhereland at Wellington’s Undercurrent Books, this November 24. Undercurrent Books is a fine used book establishment, and also has a very cool “Victorian Drawing Room” stage that made it ideal for the Tales. Opening act was singer-songwriter duo Mustang.

  • Bandcamp Store Now Open! Listen to “Roob-E”!

    After much PayPal wrangling, I have opened up Squidlord 3000 Records at Bandcamp. I will be posting my music here for your streaming and downloading pleasure.

Enjoy!

  1. hi man.
    hey, i know this isn’t probably isn’t meant to be the main point of your site, but i used to visit your pizzicatto five lyrics database a ton.

    but now when i go to the songs, and click on them, the link points to nowhere? did you take down the lyrics?

    if so, would it be possssssible perhaps for me to get a copy of what you had before you took down the site?

    i was using them to study japanese, and was actually using them to bridge a kanji – romaji gap. (fleshing out the translation transitions a bit more)

    of course, if not possible thats okay.
    and thanks for the effort you put into making the lyrics page, it was really helpful!!!

    1. Hi Donald, I’m currently in the middle of a major site resign/upgrade, so bear with me and I will investigate soon. Obvs I stopped working on the site when P5 broke up, but I know it was a valuable resource for people. I’ll get back on it and let you know soon.

  2. You did an article on my daughter, the junior spirit of fiesta 2015. There was a beautiful photograph you published on April 19 this year. Is there anyway I could get a digital copy of that photograph?

    1. That was my photographer Kenneth Song. You will have to contact the NewsPress office to get in touch with him.

  3. Desiderata! The libsyn.com feed for FunkZone…actually LibSyn in general, is failing (using Podcast Addict.) Why not run Hiawatha on some VM someplace and serve the RSS there (unless it contains complete transcripts fattening up the data use instead of the Apple yo-embedded-that method.)

    Also, lovely work on OpenCulture, I was reading your Gilgamesh amended article there.
