BROTHER is watching you

and another year runs it's course.
more shows than last year
and more again coming in 2011.
i still marvel that BROTHER is now a 3 piece.
i never would have imagined.
but here we are and it feels damn good.
we captured the new sound on a live album.
happy with that but ready to be in the studio again.
a good few shows with the 2 piece in 2010 too.
tribal trance experimentation.
and with drew on his way west soon,
many more angdrew shows to come ...

interesting times we're in.
i was thinking of reading 1984 again.
but it seems i don't need to.
it seems we're living it.
being a dad, this is on my mind.
where are we heading?
was it ben franklin that said
he who forsakes freedom for safety deserves neither?
but fear not. BROTHER is watching you too ...


getting on the floor and laughing with my son.
walking in the snow with him
as he watches it fall for the first time.
imagining him being a big brother.
these things are real,
in a world that feels quite unreal sometimes ...
but i feel a powerful year coming.
it will be what we want it to be.
and we want it to be happy, do we not?

  1. Happy New Year to you and your wonderful little (but growing!) family, Gus!! May it hold all that you desire. (And thank Lichen for the photo of her two "men" - I've missed her pics, but knew that as Asa grew into toddler-hood, she would have less and less time to post them!)

    See you in VF in February!!!

  2. Mom and I looking forward to making more BROTHER concerts in 2011 and bringing as many people as we can and spread the love. Here's hoping 2011 will find us all healthy, happy and safe. I too miss Lichen's pics but enjoy the Asa stories on facebook. Happy New Year to you Lichen, Asa and the baby to come.
