Lisa Christiansen here, aka the Hired Gun for Grant Lawrence all this week.
Our earliest lessons are usually the most profound: always share, look both ways before crossing and don’t judge a book by its cover.
This morning I was trying to remember when this last bit of advice seeped into my consciousness. And then I wondered when it was that it started to seem less and less relevant.
I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time thinking about my daily wardrobe, and I often pay a hairdresser what might be a monthly third-world salary.
And so as many of us gear up for a gift-giving frenzy, I wondered:

IF NOT, WHAT DO AESTHETICS MEAN TO YOU?
My guest today is Pete Samples, aka Brent Freedman. The electronic pop musician has a new release out – Bekonscot, and as is his way, Brent has created 200 handmade copies of the release, complete with a leather pouch with the title in multicoloured threads.
This is to be the last Pete Samples release. Was all that handy crafting getting him down?
