A long time friend, photographer for the band, adventurer and writer (add marathon runner these days), Mat Ward’s been a part of The On Fires since the very beginning. In fact, he used to come to shows in support of the bands Max and I were in way before this one…
Mat recently launched a new website dedicated to his artistic creativity – Eyehunger.com. On his writings page he’s written a piece called Caribou Falling. I hope I’m not wrecking the mystery here – this piece, for me, is a somewhat accurate reflection of how it felt to fall out of a plane together, something we did with Mat late last year. Check out his photo gallery too.
Late Night YouToobin’…
Had a big night last night, sitting up til the early hours writing. Started the night out differently, YouTube surfing & gathering any ‘classic’ song I could think of. One video leading to another & another, the whole trip lasting hours. If you’ve never done it, you’ve gotta do it sometime just for the sheer fun of it. Where did I go? Prince, Teenage Fanclub, Buffalow Tom, Duran Duran, Garbage, Sex Pistols, The Verve, Friendly Fires, Glasvegas, Bee Gees, Gladys Knight, Fleetwood Mac, Zepplin…
Yep, things got pretty weird here. Then at some point a strange vibe took over & the writing started just before midnight, dragging me through to the morning. A tad on the tired side today. A clip from last night to sign off on…
Bleary-eyed & checkya later,
Fires out.
