how does one gif?
krykky asked: If by that you mean there's a video out there of you in a superhero outfit, link me that RIGHT NOW and I will make a large gifset of it. THEN you'll be ONE OF US.
No - it will take some creative photoshopping, I’m afraid…
feehlo asked: I'd be a little bit more responsive the moment that you came (through my door). Creepy enough?
I am sure things can and will get far more creepy than this… ;-)
krykky asked: How are you enjoying tumblr? Have you gotten any creeper asks yet? XD
No not yet - but fingers crossed!!! As of this evening I am super addicted. When a bad GIF of me dressed in a superhero costume appears, I know I will have finally made it on Tumblr… hint, hint ;-)
krykky asked: You should grow the beard ridiculously long and do a gig in a robe or something.
If it grows large enough… it could BE the robe… ;-)
Anonymous asked: Is Sad For The Weather going to be on the album? I must have hit repeat on that YouTube video a dozen times already.
I do really fucking love this song. I am so happy with how it worked out. But as to whether it will be on the album? I’m not sure - the album will take shape with the input of all the supporters - obviously I will be having the final say - but we will have to see. We might write 12 songs that are fucking killer - and this one will go another album…
Best way to ensure it ends up on the album is to pledge (if you haven’t already) - become part of the community and make sure it stays in everyone’s memories!!!
For anyone who hasn’t seen the video - please watch - it’s at http://tomdickins.pozible.com

krykky asked: The beard suits you. It makes you look very rock and roll. How long is the beard now? On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a 5 o'Clock shadow, and 10 being Tom Hanks in Castaway?
Ah. Yesterday it got to “WIILLLLLLLLSOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN” proportions… It is now more like “I used to be in a teen sitcom and now I’m trying to win an academy award for drama” kinda length…
krykky asked: How is your beard? Is it being dapper today?
Oh yes. Dapper as hell. (is hell dapper?….. YES OF COURSE IT IS!!!)
What do people think of the beard BTW?
Anonymous asked: How do you keep going when everything seems hopeless?
I keep going because I have to.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t constantly consider giving up. I do. I look at what my life would be if I had kept a day job with a steady income.
I wouldn’t have phone calls coming in from blocked numbers on a daily basis. I could potentially have saved up enough for a deposit on a house. I would be able to afford my not-quite-a-legal wedding.
But then I look at the other parts of my life in this sliding-doors parallel universe. I would not have toured the world, I would not have written the songs I have in the last 12 months. I would not be in the position to be making this album in the way that I am.
So there is always hope - we just sometimes forget how to look for it.
I’m not sure that that answers your question fully - I guess when I feel hopeless, I am lucky enough to have people that I trust to ask advice of (whether or not you follow that advice is immaterial).
The most important thing to remember is that we are not just this moment of loneliness. We are a collection of experiences and of other people. And if you feel helpless, it is often a case of needing to get out of your own head and surround yourself with people/experiences, whether they’re new or old.
I hope that helps.
