About

My name is Milo. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Gaseous Brain is a schizophrenic stream of consciousness from my over-active mind which includes:

1. Some stuff I've written, filmed, or recorded in a strangely productive fit of creative passion

2. Or more likely, stuff that other people that have done that I like.

I have another blog too, aimed at helping creative people get clear about what they want to do with their lives (including myself): www.clearmindedcreative.com

Please note, I do not write music reviews any more, sorry. There are plenty of people in Scotland who do; see my blogroll below.
