after rehearsal tonight for tomorrow’s gig at the southbank open air i was struck with a combination of insomnia, and general silliness. so, i decided to see if i could make a video from scratch (including audio) in 2 hours. the one-take-only-and-adlib-as-i-go attitude to both video and audio takes means it’s a little shakey, but [...]

Cheer Up! in Canberra
November 8th, 2009 – 10:03 pm
Super Mega Double Video Day! I thought that seeing as though I’ll be disappearing into the wilderness for a few days I should work extra hard today to get the Canberra video finished and up as well. And by “work extra hard” I mean “Hire a pedal boat and pretend it is a gondola by [...]
Howard Hughes in Newcastle
November 8th, 2009 – 12:51 am
Currently in Canberra getting ready for today’s gig…started and finished the Newcastle vid last night with all its foibles and editing clichés. Still, it’s ok as my one of my first ever video efforts! After the show today I’m heading south south south to Wilson’s Promontory to relax for a few days – should be [...]

the avid reader tour…music, books, and err…what was that third thing again? oh that’s right. surfing. hmm. new board? check. waves? uh… so it’s been flat, but that’s not bothering me one bit. new roads, new towns, new beaches…and don’t forget i can always fall back on the guitar. the next show is coming up, [...]
it’s a knock-out (that’s the name of the game)
August 31st, 2009 – 1:16 pm
so it seems that putting me through some bizarre physical endurance test is becoming a common theme for cowper videos. first it was trying to maintain balance and stave off sea sickness whilst being spun on a chair; then it was all about how long i could hold my breath whilst playing guitar under water.

Cowper – The Kite Song (Live) from Jaymis on Vimeo. In July at Space Ball at Top Floor in Brisbane, Rowley (gently) exploded the brains of everyone present with a freaking wonderful set.

a fence over frosty waters
June 4th, 2009 – 5:18 pm
a farm is a perfect place to unwind after a long time spent rehearsing for a gig. i thoroughly recommend it. even if it does mean standing in a cold creek mending barbed wire fences, getting a nasty cold and then infecting other friendswith it thanks again to everyone who came to the gig – [...]

May 11th, 2009 – 1:12 pm
when i was a little tyke, i was a pretty good speller of things…but there were always words i got mixed up…and lo, now so many years on i can’t break bad habits. is it calendar, or calander? even when i get them sorted finally, i can’t overpower 27 years of programmed paranoia, and simply [...]
