No photos from the gig, since it was truly awesome and I spent the whole time falling in love with her even more, but got a few outside the Opera House, on the steps ;)
There were so many girls in awesome corsets, petticoats, hats, dresses… didn’t snap any (focussed) shots of them though.

Fairy Bread!

I really don’t care whether this kid is actually saving for a laptop or not, but he had rhythm, he had creativity, and sounded a hell of a lot better than the girl with the violin around the corner from him this morning at the Old Bus Depot markets. He even had a biscuit tin [...]

Amanda Palmer – Oasis

I’ll admit the style or the content o f Amanda Palmer or the Dresden Doll’s music is not for everyone. But I have a thing for upbeat songs which may be able the world ending, depression, suicide… or in the case of Oasis by Amanda Palmer – abortion, date rape and Oasis [...]

Freak occurrence at the supermarket this morning. I was in the “express” lane (yeah, it was long) with a new laundry basket and assorted items for dinner… when I saw some new Tim Tams on display.
Being Australia Day, I think it’s important to take note of new Tim Tam lines and whether a new size [...]

I’ve not been to a party in someone’s house before with a DJ all set up with his many speakers, turnables and … well laptop these days…

Nothing but the local DJ.
He said he had some songs to play.
What went down from this fooling around.
Gave hope and a brand new day.

Always ona quest to have something new on this computer and my ipod (for gym, or for drowning out noisy workmates in a shared office space) I have two new albums as of yesterday:
The first one is the new Portishead album, Third. Had heard one or two of the songs on Triple J, but [...]

I was in meetings for 5 hours today *dies*
I think I have tonsilitis. I suspect I may not work tomorrow, we’ll see after I’ve slept for 8 hours, gotten up, had a nice hot shower…etc. But I was suspecting today that if I hadn’t been midlessly sitting in meetings all day that it may not [...]

I wasn’t going to buy anything today, but on my way into the city, they said of Triple J that the Hottest 100 cd was being released today, so I just had to pop along to add it to my collection.

If you buy it from the ABC shop at the moment, it’s at the bargain [...]

The idea of Muse having the top song in the Hottest 100 did not occur to me whatsoever. heh. But if you lok a the list, not much of the top ten was in my area… Like that damn Soko, and Daft Punk getting in wiht a live version of a seven year old song. [...]

Happy Hottest 100 Day

aka Australia Day,
aka Invasion Day.
However you spend it, make it a good one. Take care on the roads! I know I’ll have to, as I’m just about to set out from Canberra to Newcastle. At least I’ll be in range of Triple J for the 9am and beyond part of the journey! What are you [...]
