Brindisa, Borough Market


Very crowded this morning but got 100g of amazing Dehesa, freshly sliced off the joint. Scrummy :-)
Got a bunch of other nice stuff to last the long weekend too.

Off To Spain


Okay, I have to admit to not having sorted any updating on here over the last few days, but it’s been busy – trip to Bridgend etc – and now it’s off on hols for a week. Seven days on the (hopefully sunny) Costa Dorada, interrupted only by a short business meeting in Barcelona, should do me the world of good.
I’ll aim to not be 100% lazy and if I catch any nice pics on the iPhone I’ll upload them.
But it’d be foolish to consider it a promise of any kind.

Hasta luego :-)

Testing, Testing

Just trying out a blogging app for the iPhone; it’s called BlogPress. If it works then this should be a picture of Desmond Lynham apparently drowned in the lake at Chiswick Park.
Seems to be a nice app and may well be useful on travels and on MotoGP trips.
I need to move though, as lots of threatening ducks are closing in…

Stuff & Things About Me

In short, my name's Gareth and I'm the Director of VROOM MEDIA Ltd. I'm a designer, writer, musician and MotoGP nut. I'm a shameless fanboy for Alvaro Bautista & Apple. I go moist over Spanish band El Canto Del Loco, and I'm a total Mac geek. This blog is an ongoing journal of random notes, thoughts and bits of stuff...
...And things.

The Rain Dogs

The latest recordings by my solo music project, The Rain Dogs. These are tracks I'm pulling together over a period of time - some old and some new - and just putting out online for sharing.

Smallcreep

My 'formerly industrial' band with my mate Rob. We grew out of wanting to be another NIN some time back and have developed into a far more interesting, singular, challenging and fun. With Rob's emigration to the USA, our way of working and creating was fundamentally altered, but we continued to push the boundaries of possible musics as we always have. Rob's return holds promise to pick things up some more - to develop more ideas, sketchpads, rhythms and approaches to keep us on the cutting edge - and maybe a refreshed approach which might even see us revisit and complete our unfinished masterpiece "BACKLASH". Yeah, right...

Rivercity

Fifteen minutes into the future, a hot, dry summer in Hull: Coates, a researcher and investigator, is hired to trace the whereabouts of missing adolescent Dominic Russell.
Is he the latest in a number of gruesome blood-letting murders attributed to the city’s “Marginals” that exist somewhere in the underbelly of the population?
That’s what the Police say, but it’s not what the boy’s mother believes - and as Coates digs deeper into that underbelly he discovers that Dominic’s disappearance is just a tiny part of a much bigger story: one that will bring his world crashing down and endanger all those around him...

Rivercity is a book that can be read at many levels, weaving a main plot - a clear homage to the “noir” detective genre - with a vampire story and a myriad of strands about perception and reality, human nature, signs, superstitions, the histroy of Hull, aesthetics, the occult and political expediency. Above all it's a novel about philosophy and the nature of truth and knowledge in the electronic age.
