I just had to share this - one of many "artist" press releases that I receive on a (sadly) daily basis.. Who writes this stuff? Is "art" just one big acedemic club of pseudo-intellectuals patting each other (metaphorically of course) on the back, smugly safe in their own self-absorbed universe where people actually give a fuck? Or maybe I'm just not very clever.
See below entirely unedited (except I changed the artists real name). It's so full of shit that I'm lost for words - they however, clearly have plenty ...Read more
Actually it was the most fun we've had in ages... It started off at FC HQ with me, Mrs FC and the Uptown Rockers getting ready for the big night out (and making the most of Mrs FCs professional makeup skills). Then first stop of the night was the awesome Dead Not Alive bash at AZURE where the whole possee was out in force and then later on to the Africa Bar (via Dragon-i and Yumla) for the mighty Uptown Rockers gig...
Massive shout out to Patrick, Shan, Belvedere and team for an awesome event in a great location - one of the best ...Read more
A friend in the UK sent me this and I thought it was interesting... Apparently set up by a couple of curious guys in Iceland, who wanna know what would happen in the US election if the whole world could vote...

In my (very personal) opinion I think politicians are all a bunch of self-serving crooks and it makes no difference how people vote, they...Read more
Two years ago today me and Mrs FC tied the not in HK at St Johns Cathedral and then headed off with 150 of our best friends and family for the party of parties in Koh Samui...
So this is just an opportunity to say the biggest most heart felt THANK YOU to my beautiful wife and very best friend Pui Pui for putting up with me for 2 years already. I'm looking forward to many more...
One day I'll get around to adding an album of it all, but in the meantime, here's one on the day we had our ceremony on the beach in S...Read more
Today was the first day in a year that I was late into the studio. The reason - last night was YUMLA's fifth birthday party... But I expect most people already know that since I saw almost everyone there. Anyways, I'm lucky enough to have been invoilved in Yumla as shareholder since the beginning and last night was a proud night... Great tunes, lots of booze and an awesome group of people - that's what it's always been about and to see it still going strong after 5 years is just awesome.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUMLA....Read more
Move over Jun Kong - there's a new kid on the block... Seen here at a recent practice session that (predictably) ended with a ritual trashing of the kit.
Tristan FC, we salute you...
(And a big shout to Jun & Co for blowing the joint up on Saturday night...)
So what's the verdict then?
Been listening for a while and personally I love it... Of course some people will say that it's not Master of Puppets - but then that's clearly obvious - they're 20 years apart - people should move on... But that's what's so impressive about this record - the fact that a bunch of aging old boys can still create this kind of energy and purpose and intensity and anger in their music after all these years is worthy of respect (especially from me - another aging old boy who likes to...Read more
That's the big question currently being asked by the ever-intriguing, constantly changing creative force that is ROBOT. And if you seek the answer to this provocatiove question, then all will be revealed (perhaps) this Saturday as Robot host another off-the-wall night of fine music, visuals and frozen desserts.
This Saturday from 10pm at Sammy's Kitchen, Connaught Rd, Sheung Wan.
Personally, I'm a choc-ice man. You know where you are with that kind of simplicity. No frills. It is what it is. Choc and Ice.. A ...Read more
Had the Fung Shui man over to the studio last week - an interesting experience... I can't say that I truly believe, but then I can't say that I don't either.. Anyways - one of the (many) things we had to change was the large artwork behind my personal working area - apparently it needed to be more red, more happy, and bit more suitable for a man with a family than the semi nude tattoo babe that I had up there previously...
So I knocked this out over lunch and got it up on the wall pronto.. A bit of classic Chi...Read more
Found this while going through my bottom draw this morning. Anyone know what it is? I took 3,500 digi-pix of this object if anyone wants to go through them and see it from every conceivable angle and using a whole array of special settings. I probably won't ever get round to editing the shots though, I'll just upoload the whole lot for everyone to look through. Isn't technology great?
Give me my wings...
