GD’s 2011 Lunar Calendar is back from the printers, fully online and ready to ship. Woo yay! Now featuring a rather spiffing gallery feature showcasing some of the calendar’s fantastic details.

It’s that time of year again

And no, I’m not referring to how often I update this blog.

Gwen’s 2011 Lunar Calendar is now available for preorder through her website. So if you’ve ever wanted to buy something that doesn’t exist yet, now’s your chance. We’ve also recently updated and reorganised the handmade badge cards and hippie badges so please go and take a gander at her new stuff.

Also takings its first tentative steps into the world is the Facebook page we’ve set up to help people follow Gwen’s work. Dig in folks!

Zervas and Pepper on the Cardiff Wheel

The first fruits of my collaboration with Rubberhead Recordings is this delightful wee gem of a clip, the amazing Zervas and Pepper performing live on the wheel one cold Sunday morning last December. All credit to Gary Rubberhead for shooting this one and doing a such a good job on the sound. It was a real privilege to get this session from Paul and Cath, and to be in the pod high above Cardiff with them singing their beautiful songs was something I won’t forget.

Death of a Ghost Hunter

Genuine documentary footage of supernatural shit going down! The most terrifying thing you have ever seen in your life!

Well maybe not, but it is surprisingly good. The latest video from Paul Freeman aka Critic Monkey. Well worth a click.

Mondo Jewellery

We proudly announce the opening of three grand new wings on the unspeakable gothic pile that is www.gwendavies.com. At least I hope it’s a gothic pile. If it turns out to be a bird of some kind it’s going to be fucked with three new wings.

Anyways and anyhoo, the new additions, just in time for the festive melee, would be jewellery, jewellery and more jewellery. Yes, you lucky web-monkeys, for your perusal today, all three types of jewellery, namely hippie necklaces, groovy bracelets and er, eerie earrings. Who could ask for more?

Strange Memories of Health

A photo that doesn’t sit too easily with the rest of the stuff we shot that day. ‘Strange Memories of Health’.

Mainly posting this to see how easy it is to link my brand new Flickr stream to my blog. Could become a more regular thing if I don’t have to muck about with html so much.

Gwen’s 2010 lunar calendar

Gwen’s got the 2010 lunar calendar back from the printers and it’s now uploaded and online and fully available.

Ta da!

Yes, I know it looks shit if you view it on Internet Explorer on a really old monitor, but it’s going to have to stay that way, at least until my eyes stop bleeding. At least we are now Mac friendly. Bloody Macs.

The new congruency

colinbond — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:16:07 +0000

Sat down with Gwen last night and thrashed out a slightly new look for the web site. We’ve tried to make the menu easier to read, changed the font sizes, removed some of the clutter and ditched the hated teal text and borders in favour of a more tasteful shade of purple. Gwen says the site needed to be more congruent. I think this is something she’s picked up from Mary Queen of Shops. Anyway.

Gwen’s newly congruent web site.

Ta da. Feedback anyone? I particularly like to hear when it doesn’t display properly in someone’s browser. Gives me hours of fun that does.

We’ve also updated the list of shows we’re doing this year.

Today I Die

As you can see, not much has happened in my meaningless life for the last month. Or has it?

Anyway, I’m going to commemorate the void that was April / May by linking to the excellent ‘Today I Die’. It’s a game. Click on stuff. You’ll soon get it. Enjoy.
