Almost home..
Current mood: surreal
Category: surreal Music

How can I sum up the past few days?
Blur. I'm tired. I miss Rich. I miss England. It's sorta time.

I don't think a human being should be away from their family as long
as I have been really. I am the son of a seafaring man. I guess it's in
the blood. But today I realized I haven't slept in my own bed since September 25.

It's not bad. Or sad. Or a drag. But it's a head trip. It sort of makes everything take
on a surreal quality. Moments flash by and they involve taxis, train stations and planes. Just things going places.

I wonder if the disconnection makes the performances so full of connection?
You see, the shows have been amazing. Like tonight in Philly. We really made a unique experience. It was hard to top New York - so about ten minutes in I just stopped trying to. And in its place a brand new experience arrived.

The audience were cheeky, attentive, fun and gracious.

I found little bits of other songs coming through - Michael Hutchence was there alongside Prince tonight.

It's amazing how much Steve and I miss our partners and I think that solidarity has brought us closer together.
I described him tonight as one of my best friends and it wasn't just rhetoric.
It was a relief.

I'm off to Washington for a moment tomorrow. Then we fly to Boston.
Almost home now ;)

xxD

Through the wind and snow..
Current mood: homesick
Category: homesick Music

We finally made it to Boston.
The XM performance and recording went amazingly well..
Ron, the DJ who interviewed me and hosted the event was a total gem and gave us a tour of the whole network which was incredible.
Definitely the future of radio there!

It was snowing hard all day..
We had our plane delayed for a couple hours in DC and finally made it to Boston for our last night with the wonderful Steve Young.

Steve had a prior family commitment in London and left today - so last night Brad, William (from Co5) and I took Steve out to dinner to say thanks for such a wonderful job. It was mildly amusing that we'd landed in town the night of the David Gray concert, and because of our accents all the ladeeez thought that we were either David Gray himself or part of his band. In fact, many times fellow diners would come up to the table and ask if William or Steve was 'David Gray'. It was quite funny. Steve pointed out afterwards that there was someone at the table who'd sold quite a few more records than the Mr Gray and yet who remained blissfully unrecognized! Lol.


It's really sad saying goodbye to Steve when we've got one more in store tomorrow in Boston - but we'll be helped by the lovely Tyrone for my final acoustic gig in the US for this year.

Steve, Shave, Pete and I will be rocking it out together for Londoner's on New Years Eve and of course next year we are still flirting around with the idea of some club dates in the UK in Feb and a club tour of the US in March/April 08.

Still early stages but it's being discussed.

Once again, thanks Steve for all your hard work on this run.
For being my friend.
And for being a top bloke.
Love to you and the family and see you soon!!!

xxD

Winding Down - see you in the New Year
Current mood: contemplative
Category: contemplative Music

So I'm sitting in my hotel room in Boston. I'm winding down, unravelling, unwinding.
The body is already doing that thing it does when it knows the coast is clear : it's slumping. I've just watched 'Sleepy Hollow' on T.V
I ate some M and M's.
I am wearing a leopard patterned bath robe (not my fault, it's in the hotel room.. it's hideous but hilarious)
I am detoxing from the stress and craziness that was this year.

I can't believe it's finally end of the 'schedule' for me.
It seems like every second this year I've had something to do and now I can
finally shut down until New Year.
I know the album only came out in August, but as many of you know I've been
working non stop all year on this. And it's been pretty consuming.

I feel like so much has happened I sort of want to recap it a bit.

I started my own label.
I did my first ever residency in London at the soho revue bar.
I got my first official magazine cover on Attitude magazine in the UK.
I had my first top 20 UK single on my own label.
I did a gazillion photo shoots.
I played in a gazillion radio stations.
I sold out the Royal Albert Hall.
I went home to Australia THREE TIMES this year for work.
I co directed my first ever video.
I broke attendance records at Borders stores for my U.S in stores.
I shot my third live DVD since being a solo artist.
I released my third album since being a solo artist.
I finished my eleventh year as a recording artist.
I learned so much.
I gained so much.
I lost so much.
I loved so much.
I hurt so much.
I sang harder, stronger, better, faster than ever before.
I put on the greatest show on earth.
I shared my life with a bunch of strangers who went on to become best friends.

There's been a lot of energy going outward.
And now I just want a few moments alone.

I'm not going to write to you until the New Year.
I'm sure you all understand. It's been probably more than a year of constant
updates and I'm going to take this time to recharge, reset and replenish.

Stay tuned as admin will probably let you know soon about the club tour next year.
We plan to play select dates in UK in February and a full national tour of the US in March/April 2008.
It's all being put together as we speak. The sooner we know, we'll let you know.
Expect it to be small rooms and sweaty gigs with an entirely new slant on what we did in 2007. Re-arranged. Re-jigged. Revived.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your kindness and love.
I'll check in with you after Christmas.

Much love
xD

Checking In
Current mood: adventurous
Category: Music

I said I'd check in with you after Christmas so here I am.
I just looked and saw it was December 8th the last time I blogged.
Wow it has felt longer than 3 weeks since I poured my heart out on my sleeve and into a paper cup and gave it to you. But here I am again.

I'm already over Christmas and New Years wishes (bah humbug! hehe) but I will say it was lovely. We were supposed to go away somewhere schamncy and I got a cold so decided to stay in and have a quiet Christmas. Rich's best friend and his girlfriend came over and we had a traditional dinner at home in Notting Hill. Unexpected but exactly what the doctor ordered.

I've seen 'The Golden Compass' 3 times and I'm obsessed with it.
I can't believe some of the negative attention and speculation it received from some of the gutter press around the world. Some of the criticism was entirely based on the fact that it didn't open with record breaking box office numbers, in spite of the fact that it was the number one movie in Europe for 3 weeks. No wonder we don't read reviews! Who needs that kind of poison? I saw the film presuming it would be flawed and loved it so much. I do hope it does well enough to warrant making the subsequent two films. If you haven't read Phillip Pullman's 'Northern Lights' series I do suggest it. There are all sorts of freaky parallels between his world and the one I imagined in 'This Delicate Thing'. I love the idea that our souls are a part of us but of their own free will.

I digress.
I've been spending ages on my D.J set for New Years Eve. I'm so excited about it. There's a really cool mix of old skool and new stuff and little nods toward my fave music. Those who are coming should expect it to be a floor stomping couple of hours of fun.
As for the live set, Shave has been working up some genius magic making sure this show is something that contains fresh and one off things you've never seen or heard before. Woot!

Ah did I tell you I received more than a few incredible presents over the holidays from loved ones including a vinyl copy of Kate Bush's 'Ariel' album. It has a gorgeous 12 inch 24 page book. It brought back the joy of why I love vinyl so much. Large format artwork. I truly do hope I can release 'Delicate' on vinyl at some stage. It's definitely in the plans. After the U.S dates in March I do plan to go away and hybernate until the next record but in my absence there are things I'm going to release. One of them will be the live DVD of 'The Time Machine Tour' and the other, 'These Delicate Films We Made' - which is the 13 animated videos with 5.1 surround sound. There are the animated videos you've already seen plus short films for 'Setting Sun' 'Neverland' 'Maybe' 'A Conversation With God' 'Fear of Falling Under' 'Waking The Monster' and more. I'm so thrilled I can do this stuff! Hopefully in my down time I can try to reinvent the wheel a bit more musically tho it's probably way too early for me to be even thinking about that!
But that's how my mind gets after a few weeks off. Busy.

On the busy front I guess I should get back to my D.J set.
I want to make sure it's spakingly good so I better do some more work.

All the best.. and see some of you on New Years and MANY of you @ The Side Two Tour! (Thanks so much for buying tickets! I feel all warm and fuzzy!)

Mucho Love(O)
xxD

Getting ready for new years!
Current mood: adventurous

I'm in the studio with Shave - over in East London (a place I rarely go) and we're putting the finishing touches on the band arrangements (surprises) for New Years and he's helping me a little with my mix for my DJ set afters.
Don't expect me to be literally 'spinning'. I don't spin. I don't beat match. I do however put together a bloody awesome mix on a laptop so do expect me to be looking at the lap top a lot and possibly getting tipsy.

Now, why don't I go to the East of London much?
It's weird, it's like a North vs South thing. Too hard I say. I have to catch buses and trains and navigate through strange lands to get to the cool part of London that boasts Hoxton and the fab clubs like Boombox at it's fingertips. Me, I'm a West End Boy. Or West London specifically. And it's strange how used to a 'hood you can get thereby encouraging you never to really leave it.

But leave it I did - and it always feels good to go for a drive and 'see' bits of London I don't normally see. I listen to my music (not MY music, today it was ELO) and have a good think on my way over to the Shave.

As I type he's in Second Life.
I don't get it.
I know I should. But I don't.
I'm already too enslaved to my laptop. I don't want a whole second life to live.
I can barely keep up with my own!

On another note, I can't wait to spend a month in the gym before the tour starts. I've got that awful holiday 'blerggh' feeling where your body is just rebelling against eating so much CRAP!! But before I do that, I DO intend to have fun on New Years Eve.
Warning to all in attendance : I can not be held responsible for my behavior after I stop singing. Hehe. Ie after midnight I'm like a Gremlin.
In Second Life, of course, I shall be sober.

Right I'm off.
I'm going home to a nice hot cooked dinner for me!
(finger's crossed!)

Big love
xD
