Music.

When people ask me "What music do you like?" I never know what to say. I love music, but what music I love really depends on the mood. Looking at the most played albums on my iPod people would probably be no closer in figuring out my tastes. Foals, Appleseed Cast, The Belligerents, Van Morrison, Bright Eyes, Cut Copy, Tegan and Sara, Jimmy Eat World, and Jamie T all seem to be on high rotation.

I never regret anything I do, it's the things I don't do that I regret. One of them was to learn an instrument when I was young. I have tried since, but after 3 useless strums of the guitar I always seem to crack it and put it down in anger. I go to many music gigs at home, and I always love whatever music it is, but the little devil in me always looks on in envy at how easy these people seem to make a note, a tune and a song out of such a primitive concept.

One such person is Arry Wilson, a friend of mine I have known since the days of Beta video tapes. The first time I saw him play would be 2 years ago in West End, I was really impressed, and the handful of times I have seen him since he continues to improve and put on an enjoyable set.

One time I saw him last year up at Kings Beach Tavern and was lucky enough to have my camera with me - and be sober enough to use it still. Hopefully you enjoy the photos.

From what I have heard he has a drummer with him now, so it will be good to see how they progress together - even if I am on the other side of the world.

Here is a link to his facebook anyway - Arry Wilson Band
