6music is on in my home from the moment I get up – for me it’s just the perfect mix of music – sometimes it’s a bit like my brain on the radio. Their presenters are also REAL music nerds – and this is certainly […]

More Michael Stipe – from the vaults
Yes, I truly was a huge REM fan… Unearthed teenage drawing from 1991.
Ned’s Atomic Dustbin
Another one from the vaults, I did like the band enough, but loved the pic more. Can’t find the original, but likely to have featured in what was THEN the best music mag on the planet, French monthly Les Inrockuptibles. It’s now shortened to Les […]
Michael Stipe
A really serendipitous kinda day today as, after many years thinking these were lost, I’ve unearthed a number of drawings when I was in my late teens. These were the last drawings I did before stopping for 20 years. They are pretty much of my […]
Hiss ‘n’ purr with the Modern Meowers (feline homage to Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers)
As discussed previously, Jonathan Richman rules my world. On the principle that he’s just a big blouse of happy, I even started my own version of 100 days of happy with #100daysofJonathanRichman on Twitter to celebrate how good he makes me feel. And so a cat […]
The Veees – the real wonder women!
The Veees is a brilliant band from Bristol – they are all about femality in power, seduction and cheek. I heart them. Singer Anne was keen to showcase what Wonder Women they truly are – and so I helped a bit with the visualisation bit, and […]
Meowin’ with Nancy (cat homage to Nancy Sinatra)
Thing is, I love few things more than the sixties. The dresses, the spirit, the songs, the girls, it’s all there… And in the goddess Trilogy, there is Nancy (and Dusty and Aretha). A favourite album, featuring a few luminaries (and you might have guessed […]
Jonathan Richman illustration
One of my proudest parental achievement has to get my kids into Jonathan Richman. I reckon anyone who has a little Jonathan in their lives can never be entirely miserable. And so it’s ‘Back in your life’ to fall asleep most evenings at the moment. […]
Chauzy Bowie and Chauzy FranknFurter – it’s just a step to the right!
Meet Olivier Chauzy – a very good friend of mine, who I have known for over 20 years now. We met on the dance floor of the New Fluo – my favourite (now defunct) nightclub in Toulouse, which pretty much sorted my musical education (amongst other things). The timewarp […]
Nick Cat and the Bad Kitties (homage to Nick Cave)
So many reasons to continue the cat covers with Nick Cave – the red white and black cover, the germanic influence, trying to score tickets last year and failing twice, then winning entry to an exclusive gig at Koko in Camden that just blew my […]
Tomcat Waits – Clawing time (Homage to Tom Waits)
Like Parallel Felines, the name of the album guided this choice. The fact that it’s a blinder of an amazing album which turns me into a purring machine did also have some bearing in the decision. I never thought the lines and shapes would amount […]
