The Alastair Collins - Facebook →

Today is the day (in my time zone, at least), and the Facebook and Bandcamp pages for ‘The Alastair Collins’ have gone live, along with one new preview track (the other one is still awaiting moderator approval on Unearthed) and the ability to pre-order the debut EP ‘Such Fragile Things’. The link is for the Facebook page (likes, please?) and there’s plenty of links...

The Alastair Collins - Triple J Unearthed →

So, I finally bit the bullet and made an Unearthed page for some of my music. This is the electornic stuff I’ve been working on, so don’t expect the guitar/vox stuff I’ve been posting. 70 listens, 13 downloads in two days so far.. I’m pretty happy about that, but now I need to follow it up and I’m not sure which track to use… hmm…

The year to come...

So, another birthday… 26 today… Right, you know what? Screw looking back on the year gone by (because, frankly I’m trying not to think about it). I’m going to look forward this year and think about what I’m looking to achieve or avoid before I’m 27. I WILL be better prepared for my uni work; this includes better scheduling of assignment work, and not...

Lupus Rex's Backstory, Written by the King of...

My people, the Lycan, were a proud and ancient species. We resided in and worked these lands long before the humans arrived. When they did, we lived in peace and mutual prosperity for centuries. You must realise that my people are extremely long-lived, by your standards, and I was born during these times. I remember them clearly. As your people’s need for ever increasing industry and...

The Bird and The Bat: Just breathe. →

thebirdandthebat: In my weekly column on Newsarama, Hey, That’s My Cape!, I talk about pretty much anything having to do with comics. This week I had to start my column with the words, “It’s a tough time to be a woman who likes superhero comics.” I’m fortunate to know a diverse group of people whose eyes are… One of the most common things I’ve found within the nerd culture,...

Communicaiton Breakdown

Now, it’s entirely possible that this is just me, or at least just a manifestation of some of my deep seated neuroses or insecurities, in which case writing it out will do me some good, but I’ve come across an interesting thing with me of late… I’m not one to shy away from communicaiton. If I think something needs to be said, I’ll say it, not a second’s...

Social Ettiquette in the New Age

I’ve been having this conversation a fair amount lately, so I figured it was time to order some of my thought on it a little better and write it out a bit. Put simply; our standards of social ettiquette, in general, are being outpaced by the technology which is now starting to dominate and define our social lives. How do we institute, or even determine, a new set of socially acceptable...

The Politics of Space

I’ve been thinking about space exploration and colonisation a lot recently, even for me. I have my reasons, but going in to it is a whole other post, so you just get this spec of postulation today. The commercialisation of spaceflight is well under way and, soon enough, the tech is going to reach a point of reliability and cost-effectiveness that there is going to be a big push to get out...

My First Equal Rights Movement...

A friend of mine, who I’ve worked with a couple of times, posted a note on facebook today entitled ‘Same Sex Marriage… The debate, from the conservative view.’ He’d borrowed a blog post from a friend of his, which essentially outlines that the South Australian Parliament will be voting on changing the Marriage Bill on September 13th and that people who are against it...

I'm confused...

I went and saw Green Lantern tonight. It was inevitable, despite all the bad lip service it’s been getting, since GL is my #2 superhero, behind the Bat himself. Now, after seeing it, I’m left with a single question… What the HELL were the people who’ve been disappointed with it expecting that it didn’t deliver on!? Don’t get me wrong, it’s not perfect....
