Last year in November, I made an appearance with my guitar on a national radio show called ‘Get This’, hosted by a famous Australian comedian named Tony Martin. It made for one heck of a birthday, and I guess that means that one of my songs, technically, has been heard all around Australia, doesn’t it?
The song is about Richard Marsland (the panel operator on ‘Get This’) and was played while a support rally for the show was on the streets outside the studios.
So please enjoy this bit of self indulgence, which has nothing to do with anything Nightlight except it’s me.
Lube and Mouldy-Bun Baloney use a convenient mind trick to get past a stormblooper patrol. Darth Vapour shows his dark side, and unleashes his fury on the planet Alderdamn!
Starring:
Lawrence Aitchison as Narrator, Lube Skystalker
Matthew Smith as Darth Vapour, Mouldy-Bun Baloney, See Creepio
Stanley Brain as Number Two, Stormblooper guard
Sarah Farley as Princess Leer
A long time ago in a galaxy basically just around the corner in the grand scheme of things, it is a period of civil war. During the mighty battle, rebel spies manage to steal the secret plan to the empire’s ultimate weapon: the Dud Star, an intergalactic fast food restaurant complete with warp drive and shiny new seats. When they ask you if you want fries with that, I highly recommend you say ‘yes please’.

Sal was kind enough to provide me this link, full of development shots from the now abandoned 3D Tierra project. There was a lot of sleepless nights on his part involved in their creation, and it’s a shame it ultimately never saw the light of day (or the nightlight of night, for that matter!)
And also this link, which is Nightlight circa early 2005.
Slightly worrying that I was still talking about Beneath Monkey Island at that time. Part 4 will hopefully come one day…
