Hello Top Tier Gang!
Blimey. Well, I think I'm out the end of what has been a relentless and turbulent few weeks. Or, if not out of it, at least there's signs that things are calming down. Of course, now I get the "ARGH! SHIT! I'VE NO PAID WORK!" anxiety instead. Always fun.
It was a ...
2021-03-05 12:31:28 +0000 UTC View PostSorry about the week off. Here's this week's video. There'll also be a Patreon exclusive, most likely tomorrow, explaining all, and announcing the winner of the Tickle-Me-Terminator... plus Top Tier people will be getting a big chunk of outtakes from this ep.
It's a weird one. Sanja and I t...
2021-03-02 21:23:16 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Top Tier gang. Well, I've had one of those weeks. I shall not bore you with the details - though as you've probably ascertained, some of it involved hardware stress... and some of it involved my mother coming out of hospital after breaking her hip (given she's now partially sighted, they w...
2021-02-25 11:28:23 +0000 UTC View PostIn lieu of a new video this week, here's some music. This, and the next track I'm going to share with you momentarily, will probably be on an album I put out later this year. These are, essentially, just demos. If I can, I want to replace some of the virtual instruments with real ones at some poi...
2021-02-23 13:20:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello, gang. Some of you will have seen on Twitter yesterday, that I had a bit of a catastrophic hard drive failure this week, which - coupled to MASSIVE day job stress, coupled to dealing with EQUALLY MASSIVE elderly parent stress - means that there probably won't be a Digi this week. I was even...
2021-02-23 13:11:07 +0000 UTC View PostMeet Third Bird! I was hoping for a Gannon vid this week, and the one we filmed would've been a change of pace after the manic ones in recent weeks.
Unfortunately, due to reasons... we've got another mad one instead.
This was a bit of an epic edit, mainly because Sanja jus...
2021-02-17 16:51:55 +0000 UTC View PostHow is anybody meant to introduce a video with a giant bird sat next to them? Not easily, it seems. Here's a few minutes of bloopers from the start of this week's video...

2021-02-16 16:59:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi y'aaaall. Here's a Patreon video for you all. I was hoping to get you early access to this week's ep, which was going to feature Gannon... but unfortunately he sent through his video files in some weird format, that's taking ages to convert to something Final Cut will recognise.
And the ...
2021-02-16 16:57:43 +0000 UTC View PostHello all! In lieu of there being an early access video this week (I was waiting to film with Gannon, which we did today over Zoom), here's an exclusive - which includes your chance to nab some exciting popping candy. Basically, we had a ton left over. It hasn't been in my mouth.
First six ...
2021-02-12 20:22:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello top tier, chums.
This was meant to be with you earlier in the week, but I've been locked out of my Patreon account. Back now!
This is an extended version of the location footage from the recent Slinky ep. We chopped out a few minutes, mainly because Sanja's eyes were watering so...

2021-02-12 20:20:12 +0000 UTC View PostHello... EVERYONE.
There won't be an early access video this week, because we're not filming until Friday - when we're doing some Zoom-based stuff with Gannon. Hurrah! We're also doing some more location stuff, if our back garden qualifies as on-location.
We do have a Patreon-only vid...
2021-02-10 14:30:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello, gang. I'm 50 in August. Like many of you, I had planned to do *something* for what I'm told is a landmark birthday. Not a party, because that feels like a whole lot of organisation and money for an event I wouldn't much enjoy anyway. We had sort of semi-promised ourselves a special holiday...
2021-02-10 11:09:19 +0000 UTC View PostWell, you asked for it... for the first time in six months, Beanus is back - as you've never seen him before! And you lot get to see him a week earlier than everyone else.
Here's a little tease: I had to censor something in the thumbnail to remove spoilers...
Last year, you might remember an episode of Digi where Gannon and I talked about the history of poo-based humour. Within that ep was a sung, sung beautifully by Sooz Kempner, based upon the classic playground song, 'Diarrhoea'. Well, we had big plans for that. I wanted to release a Christmas EP c...
2021-02-03 21:02:06 +0000 UTC View PostI tweeted something the other day saying I'm worried that my sense of humour isn't normal, and that it scares me a bit. It was meant in a kind of tongue-in-cheek way, but, very kindly, lots of people replied reassuring me that not being "normal" - whatever that might be - is a good thing, and to ...
2021-01-30 11:46:11 +0000 UTC View PostI know you're all probably still recovering from the baby food taste test video... but to ease your path back into normality... here's Sanja and I trying popping candy, and testing the old urban myth about whether it's possible to eat enough Pop Rocks, and drink enough Coke, to make a perso...
2021-01-27 19:36:43 +0000 UTC View PostHere you go, y'all; Sanja and I eating baby food, while I'm dressed as a baby. There's not really much more you can say about it...

Hello top tier gang. This week's video will be with you as soon as it has finished processing. Which it has been doing for over an hour now. Until then... here's a short deleted scene from NEXT week's popping candy taste test. It's the bit we do before the video where Sanja and I try to work out ...
2021-01-27 13:11:32 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Patrons! This week's ep might not be with you until tomorrow. To tide you over until then... here's a bonus. In this exclusive sort of sequel to last week's Slinky episode... Sanja and I decided to race the Slinkys at the infamous "drug stairs".
Here's how it went...
Hello, gang.
As you know, my day job has been hit massively by Covid. The industry stopped entirely last year. I had shows cancelled, and others got hugely postponed... and then cut back.
I won't whine about the impact all this had on my income, but suffice to say... thank...
2021-01-25 16:28:20 +0000 UTC View Post...albeit a long demo. It still needs work. Not quite there yet, but thought some of you might appreciate hearing a work-in-progress.
2021-01-20 11:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostHello, gang. Been a while since I did a full blog, so I thought I'd update you on why.
Basically, I was late meeting a deadline - a script that I was due to deliver pre-Christmas - and I asked for an extension, after I got thrown off my stride by my dad's health news. And then, of course, c...
2021-01-20 10:27:35 +0000 UTC View PostWell here we go: I managed to get this week's video done on time after all, so here it is a couple of days early!
Top Tier Gang will be getting an uncut version of the on-location sequence, featuring EXTRA CONTENT, probably tomorrow.
Until then... please enjoy this: our inevitab...
2021-01-19 19:03:36 +0000 UTC View PostBehold: a video exclusive... that was going to be just for top tier folk, but I don't think I'll be able to get you this week's video early, due to needing to do some extra filming for it. Sorry - this month's day job deadline put me behind with Digi stuff, and I'm slowly getting back on top of i...
2021-01-18 17:22:00 +0000 UTC View PostSorry I didn't get this up for you sooner. Been a hecticated week, and then the damned thing took forever to finish processing.
But aaaaanyway... should be able to get you next week's video early, and there should be some exclusive stuff for the upper tier gang. I'm going now so anyway bye....
2021-01-14 17:12:25 +0000 UTC View PostNew exclusive vid for you all this time, as I'm unlikely to get this week's video up early for you. Might be a little something extra for the top tier gang tomorrow.
Enjoy my ranting about TV magicians, and Sanja's private shame!
I'm aiming to release one new song a month in 2021, with the aim of improving as I go. Here's me reaching out of my comfort zone a bit, attempting to evoke a bit of a Western/Morricone vibe. But, uh, proggier. And a punny title.
It's up on my Bandcamp, but you, my top-tier lovelies, do not ...
2021-01-07 17:23:46 +0000 UTC View PostHello, gang. Happy New Year, to those of you I've yet to wish it to. Hope you're all doing as okay as you can right now.
Finally.. some good news: I got my old Twitter account back. You know: my original one. Which is lovely, and means I can put the one I have been using back to Memory Assi...
