Read all about how Kong and his outdated laptop spend their 5 days vacation together…
I recently had a week off work, which was marvelous. I thought I would download a game to keep me occupied, so I got me Return to Castle Wolfenstein. But that’s soooo old, I hear you cry. It is old. The [...]

Staylight and I have been watching quite a bit of anime series lately. I want to start with the best one ’cause I’m most excited about it: Claymore!
Claymore is set in a medieval period, but not in feudal Japan as you’d expect. Instead it appears to be set in medieval Scotland (at least I [...]

I go to The Escapist website each week to check out the latest episode of Zero Punctuation, and each time I am assaulted with ads for Eve Online inviting me to play online for free.
Eve had also been recommended by some friends as an alternative to World of Warcraft in a cool space-setting.

Microdermals and 42
Category: Modification | Leave a Comment
I feel the urge to get it out for air and share an opinion or two, so I am going to let y’all know what I think of microdermals. I have no microdermals, nor will I. I’m not 100% anti-microdermals. I would never be down on someone for getting some (providing they educated themselves first), [...]

Category: Shiv-r news | Leave a Comment
The unveiling of Shiv-r has already resulted in some great press so methinks some shout-outs in return are in order.
Our song Fractured Light is included on the latest installment of Real Synthetic Audio. RSA is “the most listened to industrial radio show on the net” and has been updated weekly for the last 10 years. [...]

Wholesome DIY fun: Blood
Category: Shiv-r news | Leave a Comment
For our debut maxi-single, we will be relying on ourselves to create the cover-art. I’m all for supporting professional designers, but I’m also a believer in digging in and getting things done yourself in order to keep momentum going, and in this case a DIY approach is called for.
I like the way this website turned [...]

Maxi-single: Progress update
Category: Shiv-r news | Leave a Comment
As mentioned, we’re working on a maxi-single for release very soon.
What we have planned is a 5-track single. This will contain the 3 tracks we debuted with, as well as 2 “alternate” versions of tracks. Kong and I will both create an alternate version of 1 song each, which should highlight our roles in Shiv-r.
Anyone [...]

So rich I don’t know what on earth I can do with all these dollar bills…
When I lived in Australia I was a poor motherfucker. I took the bus the work. Most of you probably still take the bus or train, but unlike your poor ass, I moved up in the world. I have never caught [...]

London 002: Winter
Category: London life | Leave a Comment
These photos were taken earlier this year while it was winter.
At this point in the year the sun rose at 8am and set before 4. I’m incredibly glad we snapped these photos at the time though because the persistent fog was quite beautiful. I particularly dug the effect of looking at a bridge over the [...]

Shiv-r is a new force in the field of dark electronic music. The heavy and unsettling atmosphere generated by the band is at times intended for the clubs, and at times drawn to a slow, grinding pace for full dramatic impact.
Check this site often for daily updates from the band on life in Bangkok & London, body-mods, and music-tech.
