Hello again

Hi everybody. It's been so long since i've been blogging. It's really nice to see all your lovely comments.
I've been pretty flat out for the last few months with my band- the submariners-
Check us out at

Hope to hear from you soon.

'Tiny Piece' Yi © 2010

She’s not who she seems…
She’s been giving out tiny pieces until there’s no lungs left to breathe with
She’s not who she seems…
But then, just who is she?
Will I ever know?
I don’t know
It’s the middle of the night and it’s raining on us
And it’s all for me, and it’s all for you
And the sky is full with the moon
You told me I wouldn’t like you
But oh, how wrong you were
Oh how wrong you were
Still, you won’t be caged
If I chase you you’ll run
You won’t be told
What to do or become
Because you know what you want
But then no, you don’t
If today you say yes
Then tomorrow you’ll surely say no

A fine drop

Wow, does this photo bring back fond memories… late night whiskey from a vending machine in Tokyo is a moment best shared with friends- yummy!

Japan Japan

in Kyoto at the moment. sorry, no pics to post just yet but hopefully when i get back. I'll tell you all about it when I do...

breaking and entering!

The other weekend Charlotte and I broke into this abandoned factory building to take some photos. Unfortunately I look like I’ve been ‘smoking the peace pipe’ a little in these photos. Haaahaaaaaaaa, lol

The doors were all open but neither of us felt like being stabbed so we didn’t go in… the warning was written above the left hand door.

I really like the jacket I'm wearing in these shots- it’s an old ski jacket I got from a thrift shop outside a hospital- very cool. I also love these Levi’s bell-bottoms which I got ages ago at a vintage clothing store (they make me feel like a 70’s rockstar), like Nicole explained in an earlier post – Levi’s are so comfy! The shoes are Alife ‘public outrage’.

btw, Charlotte took the photos

Yi weekly

Has anybody read this weeks addition of ‘Yi weekly’? haha, this photo was taken at a gig in Brisbane last week by a friend of mine Lewis who has recently taken to photography/posters. check out Lewis’s ‘Tempblography’  here

This shot must have been taken at a strange angle- it makes me look rather “full”. lol

Tea anybody…?

These are some boxes of tea that i bought in Nepal on the last trip. The flavours look super tasty but i haven’t even opened theboxes yet because I just think they look soooo cool! i will taste them one day though.

My favourite is the banana- it’s so ‘velvet underground’…

gothic kilt n' boots

 

I've been looking for new ways to show off my boots.
Failed painter made this black kilt for me...complete with tassel.
The Irish part of me loves it.
Probably won't go down well here in Australia.
So I'll  debut it in Japan when I visit in August.

Punk at heart…

Did I ever mention that throughout the years I’ve been extremely influenced by punk music…

As a reckless, strong-minded youth back in middle/high school finding my feet as a musician, naturally I found myself amongst punks and punk music. I actually have written lots  of  Punk songs- many of which i still look back at now as great songs. I think I’ll always gravitate that general direction. I often think about re-working and recording for future albums
