Here's an epic thing I wrote back in 2011 when Bic Runga released her last proper album, Belle. I miss writing long-form stories like this.

Here's my epic on Bruce Lynch, a bassist/producer/composer who's really hard to sum up in one piece (so it's a two-parter). Featuring Scott Walker, Kate Bush, Dave Dobbyn and the Power Rangers!
