Down the Tiny Steps

David Galletly is a fantastic artist / illustartor based in Stirling.

I stumbled across his website last year and have been loving his work since.

Imagine my delight then, when I visited it for the first time this year to find one of my songs in his Top 5 ‘most listened to’ of 2009.

Not only that but, in the absense of a youtube link for it, he’s made a wee vid of his own!

Come on.

Imagine it.

Imagine my delight.

Cheers David!

Glasgow PodcArt have declared that I am one of the ‘ones to watch in 2010′

(you can see the comprehensive list over at glasgowpodcart.com)

I’m not sure if this is because I am not to be trusted or because I am awesome.

I’ll pick your pockets and write a smash hit about it before you can say ‘I think I’ll have a piece of chewing gum’.

My mate Dominic is on a quest to make you smile.

I played at the Trampoline all day event through in Edinburgh on saturday and Euan, the promoter, has written some very lovely things about me in his blog: The Steinberg Principle

Cheers Euan!

Glasgow PodcArt were also there, recording their show from the venue. They will no doubt broadcast me talking pish sometime in the near future.

Big thanks to Roy Mohan Shearer for providing his talents in my set.

In other news, I really don’t remember Passenger 57 being this rubbish.

It is half 3 in the morning.

I am so tired that I feel like I’ve lost all sense of who I am

We’re off down to London at the start of november, with a stop in Manchester on the way back up.

“Go go gadget private jet!”

If you are near one of these, it would be great to see you. Hoots!

Glasgow’s jazz fusion pioneers dBass are currently working on jamming with visuals for gigs in the future, and they asked me to film a wee session they had the other month with artist Fergus Dunnet.

It was great to be involved. The resulting vids can be seen below:

They opened this weeks episode (#31) with the mix i did of Iona Marshall’s ‘2 Hearts’

Cheers youz!!

I like to download it and listen to it on the bus. I have laughed out loud on more than one occassion.

Last week a woman sat across the aisle from me and started singing along to Take That on her headphones. It was remarkably tuneless. I tried to record it on my phone but you can’t really make it out.

Anyway, this made me laugh too. But PodcART is a more consistent source of bus-ride chuckles.

Chris Tapehead and I recently recorded Charlot Webster’s new EP.

It is a thing of beauty and we had a really good laugh making it.

You can hear some of the tracks on HER MYSPACE

and you can buy the EP from HER WEBSHOP

Buy one of her kazoos while you’re at it. There are very few reasons not to.

I got an amazing ‘thank you’ goody bag from her in the post this morning. I shall be spending the rest of the day recording voice memos on my new dinosaur pen.

Thank YOU Charlot! x

The lovely folk at Glasgow PodcART played ‘Taken In’ on their latest podcast and said some things that generally made me feel rosey in the cheeks.
