  1. Today Melbourne has done rain with all the enthusiasm of a toddler kicking pigeons.
  2. Apparently you're all having a heat wave in the UK, you massively inconsiderate bastards.
  3. @katie_khan Yes to Century Gothic, Helvetica's superficially less cool but actually considerably more fun cousin.
  4. Incidentally, Nick Cave wrote all of Murder Ballads using the bloodied foot of his former drummer. True story.
  5. I don't know how people can write beautiful things in horrible fonts. It must be like hand writing love poetry with a severed cat paw.
  6. @danielbye Times New Roman (12pt) to Helvetica Light (11pt). #myhipstershame
  7. Happy to admit that I'm the kind of person who can't actually read the document you've sent me until I change it to a far less shitty font.
  8. Everything is preposterous.
  9. 'a vision of the dancefloor as a multiracial, pansexual, empathetic space where you can be who and what you want to be' bit.ly/Lmdb3q
  10. @alisoncroggon Ha. Do I not? Corrected.
  11. @alisoncroggon I am indeed! I was actually just talking about you last night. Are you around? Be good to see you.
  12. What do you want to read first thing in the morning? That's right, a talk about art and poverty. Here it is. bit.ly/JBwaw8
  13. @philgibby @mayfestbristol Thanks very much. Glad you liked it.
  14. @Postcard_Gods Several times. I once performed in a show in Berlin, a piece of new writing by someone called Deborah Pearson.
  15. Melbourne is pretty great. It's like having a normal big city described for you by Zooey Deschanel, but less annoying than that might imply.
  16. @rachelcoldicutt The Maysles brothers' film of Marlon Brando from 1965 is probably one of my favourite things ever. Quietly heartbreaking.
  17. Hello Internet. Here's the text of a talk I gave yesterday about art, protest and the occupy movement. Hope you enjoy. bit.ly/KnaKwJ
