It’s a cute little pop song that kept popping into my head [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2011/01/demo-is-this-what-they-call-romance/feed/ 1 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/09/dancing-to-the-dublin-gospel-choir-at-electric-picnic/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/09/dancing-to-the-dublin-gospel-choir-at-electric-picnic/#comments Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:18:31 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=678 This was the highlight of my summer. The Sunday morning of Electric Picnic, myself and three of the guys I was performing with as part of Werk at thisispopbaby headed off to get coffee and food. The Dublin Gospel Choir were on stage in the main arena, singing wonderful music. We sat and finished our [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2010/09/dancing-to-the-dublin-gospel-choir-at-electric-picnic/feed/ 5 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/01/free-download-phoenix-demo/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/01/free-download-phoenix-demo/#comments Sat, 30 Jan 2010 18:00:26 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=214 I knew what I wanted from this song as I wrote it. I knew what I was writing about, and how the song would be structured, more or less. But I was still surprised by the melody that came from the lyrics. Sometimes I can sit and just hear the melody that is meant to [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2010/01/free-download-phoenix-demo/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/01/part-5-greta-the-grinder/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/01/part-5-greta-the-grinder/#comments Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:46:52 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=221 Amanda’ coffee grinder is often a cause for concern. So, recently I was in her café one one of those afternoons when the grinder stopped working, and she had to get another. It inspired this addition to my silly children’s stories for adults, which as you are aware, is ~amazing art~ ________________________________ Greta the grinder [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2010/01/part-5-greta-the-grinder/feed/ 1 http://www.misterebby.com/2009/11/lorcan-the-chameleon/ http://www.misterebby.com/2009/11/lorcan-the-chameleon/#comments Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:04:51 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=152 Lorcan was bored in a lecture and asked for entertainment, so I texted him this quick little story that I wrote on the spot.

But when I added the chocolate wrapper, it looked like a worm with a fabulous blue rinse, or perhaps a purple mohawk.

I know I owe Meadhbh a story, after she asked specifically when commenting on the last one, but that’ll have to wait. This also means that Amanda is wrong – not all my stories are about giraffes!
