Apparently next week I will be lucky in love, but I should be wary of property dealings and a man called Ian
16-10-2009
Instead of sleep, I stare at the constellations of dead insects on my ceiling, and chart horoscopes based on tiny mosquito corpses
16-10-2009
Another 5 hours of being shouted at by my instructor while trying not to kill people on the streets of London. Including him. Joy
14-10-2009
Right, calmed down now. Time to start letter writing I suppose. Anyone got Obama's address?
14-10-2009
This will of course not affect James Blunt's or other major label artist's tours. Sorry America
14-10-2009
Being that kind of country, the UK will still be welcoming any and all US artists, for the princely sum of 150 quid. We're nice like that
14-10-2009
So long America. I had fun. But new visa rules mean I've probably played my last show there. However, as usual, you'll all be welcome here
12-10-2009
I wonder what St Therese's carbon footprint is, as her bones travel the world for the edification of the rationally challenged everywhere
06-10-2009
I'd pay 90p in the pound tax if it meant Emin would fuck off to France and take her ugly mug with her. Second thoughts, I like France.
02-10-2009
I think there's a "totally unbroken path from YOU to the cavemen", Hirst you dullard. Watch those knuckles on the floor now.
02-10-2009
Damien Hirst, Radio 4. Listen now in awe as he reveals himself to be a not very bright, cliche-sprouting cock. Unintentionally hilarious.
29-09-2009
That's the theory passed. Nowhere in the hazard perception test was there a drunk cellist stumbling off a tour bus into the road. Strange
28-09-2009
Does crying to an episode of Monk make me less of a man?
26-09-2009
Well, no one died. I'm told this is generally considered a good thing for lesson one. Wonder if they'll let me drive the tour bus
26-09-2009
Is forty too old to learn to drive? Don't they have special buses for people my age? Oh well, lesson number one here we come
22-09-2009
So - what's the Isle of Man like in October? Anyone? I'm just saying...
22-09-2009
Dancing away my postponed tour blues to Manu Chao, he can cheer anyone up. Even me
19-09-2009
Is it acceptible to actually 'take' money from buskers who are playing the theme to Titanic? Or just punch them
17-09-2009
Only tickets for French shows need to be exchanged - all other tickets valid. Something about tax years? Check ticket sites for info. Sigh.
16-09-2009
Revised dates for Europe here... http://bit.ly/3ksG91, including new Amsterdam gig. Sorry for the wait
15-09-2009
I'm watching 3 baby squirrels playing on my neighbour's roof. Unbearable cuteness putting me off miserable song writing
15-09-2009
Rescheduled UK and Ireland dates here...hurrah! http://bit.ly/W1PCK
11-09-2009
Just played at a prison for young offenders. There are good people doing good work everyday. Repeat while listening to the news. Amazing
09-09-2009
you couldn't be nasty if you tried Mr Danar. I run seminars on it however, there's a sign up form somewhere on my site. x
09-09-2009
wow - Been a busy day...230 emails and counting, not one nasty one. Thanks for understanding. In your face Counting Crows.
09-09-2009
Really sorry to tell you that tour and album have been rescheduled. I know how popular this will be. Sincere apologies. See www.tommcrae.com
25-08-2009
Malcolm McLaren accuses Blair of being the first karaoke PM?! I've always been ahead of my time. Or behind it. Or off to one side
25-08-2009
I would rather a child of mine joined the BNP and kicked kittens for a living than work on the railways in Britain. Petty, bureaucrats.
21-08-2009
The video treatment said I was going to be blown by 4 noisy fans for 8 hours. I didn't envisage this. Disappointment is huge
21-08-2009
How old is too old to apply to The Brits School
20-08-2009
Video shoot tomorrow, haven't made one in years, now if I could only find where I left Gwyneth's severed head, we'd have our ending sorted
19-08-2009
I'm going where the sun keeps shining, through the pouring rain. Scotland then. Except for the sun bit
16-08-2009
Gwyneth Paltrow's severed head in a box would improve any film. Or birthday party. Or day of the week come to think of it. The perfect gift
13-08-2009
To celebrate breaking my 500 follower mark, 2 less than Hitler, my new home made website is now up and running. Well, jogging. With a soft J.
04-08-2009
"What if this breaks down with all these people in it?" She was talking tube trains, I was thinking civilisation
27-07-2009
Are parents who play dvd's loudly for their stupid fat illiterate kids employed by train companies to make us buy first class tickets
10-07-2009
A songwriter's heart is like a pomegranate. Left in the sun it doesn't ripen, it just goes hard
11-06-2009
I'm at the mojo awards. And the big news is, there's a dyson airblade in the gents. Rock and roll has given me so much
02-05-2009
Latin Play Boys, Dose. New favourite record. Of all time. Official. Today anyway.
30-04-2009
Things in life can be divided into two categories: Dyson Airblade or not Dyson Airblade. Tragically most things aren't Dyson Airblade.
27-04-2009
Forum had Mexican man flu and was therefore clearly not as bad as other more fatal forms. GIve it an hour or two and it'll be down again.
27-04-2009
Website forum has clearly been consorting with Mexican pigs again.
26-04-2009
playing accordion is harder than it looks, the true mark of a gentleman being one who can play accordion, but chooses not to.
11-02-2009
Off to see the brilliant
Catherine Feeny open for Robyn Hitchcock at Union Chapel. Not been there for
years.
08-02-2009
Take two ibuprofen and try
not to use it? Seriously? It's a finger! My brain, no problem, but my finger?
08-02-2009
Giving up and actually
taking this finger to hospital. I don't have nearly enough to read for the 8
hour wait.
08-02-2009
I've just found out the
low cost of bus adverts. Gonna spend entire budget of the new record to buy one
saying "Tom McRae is possibly God. "
07-02-2009
Dinosaur Jr can cure
monday blues.
07-02-2009
Hilarious phone call with
a woman at the Christian Party office, you can google the number. Apparently
they don't have a proof department!

Not wishing to bait
believers, but here's the link.

Do I really have to write
to the Advertising Standards Authority to complain about the "definitely is a
God" bus adverts? Suppose I do.
07-02-2009
@Rougeforever
Seriously underpriced, if
only for it's rarity value.
07-02-2009
Yes, point taken, we all
need better websites! But she was great.

07-02-2009
Ah, monday begins by
trying to fix the frigging website again. It's nice to know in an unreliable
world, you can rely on my site to fuck up.
07-02-2009
Cheering myself up with a
viewing of Umberto D, classic Italian movie from 1952. The dog should have won
an oscar. Happy it ain't.
08-02-2009
The brass monkeys are
joining forces with the well diggers and forcing me out of the studio. The bra
less witches are only moments away.
08-02-2009
...time, time, time, see
what's become of me...?
08-02-2009
Seriously? Kaptian
kanakis?
08-02-2009
That girl fucking rocks.
No two ways about it.
08-02-2009
Just watched Kath Williams
in Stratford. Some say she's folk, she ain't. She's rock and roll to the core. A
masterclass in songwriting!
07-02-2009
Oh, done already. Good.
Now to fix the economy.
07-02-2009
Having built a sofa, time
to fix the website forum.
07-02-2009
Considering filming myself
building flatpack furniture as a video for the next single. Who said the
glamour's gone out of the music biz?
07-02-2009
I wonder if Aaron Sorkin
would marry me? A long engagement maybe.
06-02-2009
My microphone is possessed
by the angry spirits of a long-dead tribe. Or it could be the pirate radio
coming from the flats. Bastard kids.
05-02-2009
A letter of complaint to
the BBC and ITV all on the same day. I'm an Alan Bennet character. Very, very
sad.
05-02-2009
Lyrics finally done.
Liverpool v Everton and large scotch beckons. It's almost like watching
football.
04-02-2009
Newspapers are too depressing at breakfast, it might influence the music. Ryvita,
marmite and The Odyssey. Good times.
03-02-2009
Nope, song didn't finish itself while I watched final episode of West Wing
series one, for the 87th time. Back to it I suppose.
03-02-2009
How many bloody times am I
going to have to rewrite these lyrics so it flows right? I'm doing instrumentals
from now on.
03-02-2009
The plucky "but it's cold"
battalion defeat the "but your health?" regiment in the first breakfast war of
'09. Bacon it is. Victory is mine.
03-02-2009
BBC 4 now, one of my
favourite films, Inherit The Wind. Spencer Tracy makes me cry, Gene Kelly made
me want to be a journalist. Awesome.
03-02-2009
Can't believe I spent the
last few hours building a phonograph. Results posted on blog, now back to the
studio for real work.
02-02-2009
The instructions being
only in Japanese will not slow me down. The whisky shakes on the other hand
02-02-2009
Now maybe the moment to
make my Edison Style Phonograph Kit. I'm beating piracy by releasing the new
album on a plastic cup. No, really.
02-02-2009
Have decided the journey
to work - upstairs and to the left - is perilous today. Shall stay in the
kitchen and read Treasure Island. Again.

Meeting's been postponed.
Hmmm, see how motivated musicians are to save their livelihoods? Big Oxford
Girls' Blouses.
02-02-2009
Ed O'Brien from Radiohead
invited me to go to a Featured Artists' Collective meeting today, I'm only going
if we can have a snowball fight.
02-02-2009
... Can I really put up
with ridiculous American football for hours just to hear BRUCE? Probably.
02-02-2009
I'm thrilled at the prospect of starting from scratch again on this song cos the
tempo's wrong.
01-02-2009
Wondering if I should
finally give in and go to hospital with this painful finger that won't bend.
30-01-2009
About to buy another chain to stop another dustbin being nicked. Am I living on
the same street as STOMP?
30-01-2009
mmm, porridge. coffee, The Guardian, putting off re-writing the final verse of
latest song whilst watching roof being fixed. Again.
30-01-2009
Red wine, as a reward for
finishing number 21. If I drink enough I may start liking song number 21.
