the big game is every nightSunday, January 18, 200911:46PM - Blah blah blah shakes hands with ha ha ha.Fuck this and fuck your perverse bullshit logic. Sunday, December 21, 20089:12PMSeriously, you can yell into the void all you want, but some people just don't want to hear anything. Let me just say that I consider each and every person responsible for the mediation of their own happiness. It's not anyone else's responsibility to call the shots on what is good or bad for you. Thursday, August 28, 200810:26AM - Doesn't it suck when......overhyped trendy bands turn out to be pretty good? Tuesday, August 12, 20089:11PMThis Paul Baribeau record channels all the positivity I wish I could find it in myself to trust, and the raw acerbic truth I feel embarrassed to try and write down. It's really cool when music gets to you like that. Monday, August 11, 200812:16AM - "getting down"...it has two meanings. I crave more of the other. Wednesday, July 23, 20081:57AMHoly fuck. Monday, July 21, 20081:30AMAlright fine, 18 weeks, I don't even care. So I got a job and some people left my life, some people came in too. I joined a band as a lark, that band started huge and stayed that way. The music I make that I really care about continues to hover pointlessly like a bad smell. 3 more join the bad smell party for album rehearsals starting tomorrow. I work a lot and buy gear. Mark Kozelek is this Thursday. And because i'm shit, Friday and Saturday and Sunday too. Anyone in Sydney or Melbourne these days? Me too, this weekend. Current music: Hum Wednesday, March 12, 20082:03AMThey remastered the Bon Iver album for commercial release. I'm listening to it on Lucy's laptop, she has the real label version. I must've played that album at least 200 times since I got it. And now it sounds different and my autism is responding poorly. Sunday, March 9, 200812:13AMSome dudes embark on real deal, booking agent, big crowd kinda tours. They go and they rock the fuck out. Tuesday, January 22, 20087:50PMYou know, the past couple of days has been a real highlight, life-wise. Road-tripped down to Byron/Bangalow with Julian, Lucy, Maddy and Gel. Half the people i'd consider friends were down there too. We all saw Joanna Newsom and Andrew Bird and Jens Lekman in that tiny hall. So did Billy Bragg. He just came to hang out. I met him and it was exceptionally surreal. I couldn't guarantee you that I didn't come across like a complete moron. Sunday, January 20, 200812:53AMDear Chris Corsano, Saturday, January 19, 20081:36PMCaribou were great last night, but the Warhol exhibit really left me unmoved. Oh well, every arts student in greater Queensland has probably made it financially worthwhile... Friday, January 18, 20082:51AMSeeing The National tonight after Low last night was exceptional. What a paring. I didn't realize how much the songs off Alligator had seeped into my consciousness til it became clear that I knew every word, beat and riff. I had a good time in spite of the complete miserable fuckwits determined to drink their way onto my killspree list. Thursday, January 17, 200812:24AMLow was absolutely incredible, definite top 5 list writing fodder. Starfire? I mean c'mon... Tuesday, January 15, 20086:05PMSo they redid the big day out timetable, making Arcade Fire, Billy Bragg and Battles all clash. Vindicates selling my ticket to the Nth degree. Low tomorrow night, National on Thursday, Ben Frost on Saturday, Bangalow on monday and Billy Bragg in byron on Tuesday. Yes. Saturday, January 12, 20082:54AMOh, and cos Kurt did one - My favourite albums of 2007 probably included For Emma Forever Ago by Bon Iver, I Was Submerged by Tulsa, Little Hours by Spokane, Pink In The Sink by Novi Split, Pikelet by Pikelet, War Elephant by Deer Tick, New Moon by Elliott Smith, probably some others. Heroes and Lost both got watched. I probably saw some movies too but I'm not the best at remembering them. And I read so much achewood that my social life suffered direly. Still okay with that. 2:49AMforgot to write last night after I saw Sufjan. I did. Pikelet was amazing opening, and he was pretty amazing too, though not without noticeable faults blah blah. Did like the horns, and the last two songs were a very pretty paring. Thursday, January 10, 20083:57AM5 people play in my band now. Sunday, January 6, 20088:05PMI played a show and people talked through it. That happens a lot: I wonder if I can affect it any. Bigstrongbrute were amazing though. Saturday, January 5, 20083:46AMNot sleeping lately and work til 9 meant I skipped Buck 65, went straight to the Rialto launch at the Troub. Pissed that I missed most of Dollface. Went over to Rics where Turnpike were brilliant. They always are. Rialto were on fire, and i'm glad I ended up there. Navigate: (Previous 20 entries) |
