hello

this is going to be an experiment in whether we can actually keep updating a blog to the extent that it becomes worthwhile. we (my sad captains) have various things going on from now on that may or may not turn out to be worth communicating to the wider world - sxsw, our first record etc - and our website has been dead for some time and is too fiddly and difficult to resuscitate, so thought we'd give the blog thing a try.
