Happy days. For you the reader, that is. Why? Well, this is just a quick, abridged version of my traditionally rambling “News” section. You have been spared this time on account of the fact that this particular upload is just a kind of mini-upload, so to speak. A quick note to let people know that I

Helping to stave off my feelings of withdrawal and anxiety bought on by the airing of the final episode of “Rock Star: Supernova”, Vh1 in Australia has kindly chosen to air the program, “Supergroup”, to help me get through. While it’s not exactly the same concept as “Rock Star” and certainly doesn’t

So the race has been run and won, and it is at this point that we ask ourselves if we are any better off for having sat through the second installment of this reality TV show drivel known as “Rock Star” ?

Sorry, I just couldn’t resist. But before you roll your eyes, it’s good news this time around. See, whereas the debut version of this garish reality TV phenomenon featuring INXS was more kind of your “sad but…no, just pretty sad really” type of deal, this is safely across the tastefulness border and

Hmmm…weird times. I’ll open with my traditional line about how it’s been a while (read: a little too long) since my last update. I can only inform you that it’s the winter malaise causing rising damp of the soul. It makes people act loopy. It brings on “The Funk”. Bah, I hate winter. I hate being co

Well, they say that no news is good news, so I’m just gonna run with that…
(Long pause. Waits forever. Sound of crickets chirping. A tumbleweed rolls by.)

Well, there you go, my cute little mofos and mofoettes. That wasn’t too long between updates now, was it ? Well, it wasn’t two weeks ago when I was originally going to post this stuff.

WTF, Chuck ?? What was all this hoo-hah about regular updates, then ? Three words for you, music fans – useless…as…shit*. Or in this case – exc-useless…as…shit – cos’ the wacky thing is, I have no lame excuse for my general slothfulness. I’m just slack, I guess. I seem to spend so much time purchasi

Hi there. Long time, no see. In quite a radical development, let’s skip right to the good news. Despite my lack of recent updates, I’m happy to report that Becoming A Dot is still a living, breathing, fully operational entity. Hip hip hooray. Sound the sirens. I hear there’ll be a float in my honour
