Imagine, if you will, a souped-up DeLorean that can traverse the tricky terrains of your life’s biggest decisions, from career moves to personal choices. Picture Marty McFly and Doc Brown by your side, zipping through time to show you the outcomes of your decisions – both the spectacular and the not-so-swell. Sounds dreamy, right? Welcome to the ‘Back to the Future’ approach to understanding the intricate dance of decision-making, complete with fewer regrets and more certainties.

Commodore65 consists of Joshua on keys and vox, Phil on bass and vox, and Jessica on drums and vox. Their shed-punk vibe blends punk and garage elements with a healthy dose of retro gaming nostalgia. Their lyrical themes cover a wide spectrum – from delving into deep mental and emotional experiences to taking jabs at politicians, poking fun at trashy TV and being really tired!

My grandfather Paul was an artist. I began painting in his studio with some of his oil colours, many of which were home-made – by grinding raw materials and mixing with linseed oil. However, most of my early work was in watercolours, learnt by experimenting and reading books. No art school for me, although I did attend a night class run by Colin McCahon while at Auckland University. I still have the painting I did then in 1958 of Albert Park pine trees. Much later in Whitianga l attended Paula McNeill’s classes; from both, I learned important elements of composition.
