There are four things to annouce. The first thing is FOLLOW THE CHICKEN. I did. I signed off LinkedIn. After all I don’t need to look for a job seeing as I have accepted a continuing contract* with The College of Fine Arts, UNSW.

Now there are three things. Two will be announced tonight, and I will report them here!

7.30PM We are live! Adelaide** Friggin’ Festival Launch.

Severed Heads and Atom™ live 13th March 2013

Hauntology House. A computer game / music album by Tom Ellard, on abc.net.au

Also on: Unsound Festival Adelaide, Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet, an orchestra playing along with a brand new print of 2001: A Space Odyssey, some weird remanipulation of Lem’s Solaris … lots of good shit. Turner’s paintings coming down from the Tate Gallery. Womadelaide as per usual.

The fourth thing … is something you’ll have to hold off from just yet…

* A bit different to ‘tenure’, it means continuing employment but without some of the protections that tenure offers. It’s a massive step and doesn’t come lightly!

**Under the terms of our agreement with Mr. Gary Numan, Adelaide must be the last show. And it still is.

Piss off.
