  • Yeah, I've played this gig too. It's not much fun. General details were a 3 year relationship, we became good friends with a gay girl (I had more gay friends than she did while we were dating), she started fooling round with her, broke up with me ou…
  • I was talking with a friend the other day and we were saying how (apart from the drugs) it's such a pure idea. Racing simple bikes around France. yeah, its a great sport, but they're all on drugs. as far as SIMPLE bikes, i dunno bout that. you…
  • Yeah, I've caught a fair bit of it. Here in Australia, there's highlights on at 6:00pm, then normal coverage from 10:00pm til 1:30am. I was talking with a friend the other day and we were saying how (apart from the drugs) it's such a pure idea. Ra…
  • It seems a fair bit worse in Bris than it is here in Melbourne. And even though they are in Melbourne too, I think the Vice electro tsubi cardigan kids are more of a Sydney thing. I just always associate Melbourne more with the Tote crowd :realmelbo…
  • Something along the lines of "You think that's a raer? This is a raer". I couldn't find the knives pic.
  • Fuck single crates, I got an army of motherfucking crate men.
  • 40. On my roof. IMG SRC=http://www.urbaninstallation.com/img/milkCrateMan02.jpg> I'm good mates with the guys who did that. There's a few more things in the works too. They did a giant Tetris game on the way to Melbourne airport as well, I ca…
  • I'm trying to get through this book at the moment. Love In The Time Of Cholera is one of my all time favourites, but I just can't seem to get into 100 years of... I think it might be a bit too fast for my tastes. But after speaking to some friends …
  • I really don't know why. I can only speak for my group of friends, but smoking pot is a pretty social thing, we'll have, I dunno, maybe 10 mixed joints passed around in a night. Instead of smoking straight and being fucked straight away, it's more o…
  • I smoke Champion tobacco. The yellow packet. I roll my own and I'm really fucking good at it. Indoor smoking's being banned here in Melbourne in June or July. It's a good thing. But it'll be strange not being able to sit with a mate, a jug of beer a…
  • 2. when my close friend/housemate printed out the entire "the-breaks.com" catalog (although this was back when it was ~xombi....com ). put it in a binder, and we just rolled around on weekends crossing shit off, coming home and spending the rest of…
  • El Perro Del Mar- "God Knows". Beautiful new Swedish Blue Eyed Soul/Pop. Fucking stunning. You need to hear this. The Jacaranda album by Bonfa. Who sampled the track Apache? It's doing my head in. Eddy Current Suppression Ring- "Pitch A Tent". Awe…
  • The yuppie suburbanite in me lubs me some coffee of the day with cream and vanilla flavoring. I just can't get into Starbucks. Issues of taste, ethics and price always make me go somewhere else. I'm stovetop percolator (sp?) all the way. Makes…
  • Sufjan Stevens- Dumb I Sound. "But you, are in love with someone else, but you, want to be with someone else" For the real "I-fucking-hate-the-world-and-you-but-I-still-kinda-want-you-back" period. Geto Boys- Dirty Bitch Eddy Current Suppress…

  • after a severe anxiety atack brought on by LEGAL "party pills" (active ingredient or Benzylpiperazine BZP) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzylpiperazine worse comedown then any dodgy pill. lesson learned etc. They're fucking rough. I'm in NZ at …
  • You're So Gangsta = This is the only track I really like off the album. The album reminds me of 161 "Shake some action" wanker hipsters though (it's a Melbourne reference).
  • I really like her. I haven't heard Y's, but I love Walnut Whales. "Peach, Plum, Pear" is fucking amazing. Also, if anyone in Melbourne has a spare ticket to the Forum show, I NEED one. She's playing with Smog.
  • Damn, that's terrible. Satchinadanda is one of my all time favourites (Is it like Forever Changes, as in a record everyone agrees on?). R.I.P.
  • Speaking of French movies, I bought "Bande A Parte" by Jean-Luc Godard yesterday. That scene when they dance in the cafe is fantastic.
  • What should I do with all these milk crates that I amassed from years of buying collections? This
  • The adapter on that looks pretty funny. On the EU press of the Denial Twist 7" cover, the girl's holding a GP3. Cool idea, I presume they originally would have been expensive, putting a package like that together would cost a shitload.
  • Thanks for all the help guys, I'll definately check out the recommendations.
  • I was lurking when that story originally came up. There was a whole series of pictures like that.
  • Yeah, the bars are bloody good. The ad's been running in Aus for probably a year. I think it's good that they used it, there's much worse music out there.
  • name? Josh age? 21 occupation? Landscape Gardener (currently working at Shania Twain's holiday house) where you stay at? Queenstown, New Zealand (formerly Melbourne) favorite raer? Attica Blues or Melody Nelson (I know, little dude) dollarbin terd? …
  • Killer album. It's my most recent "Man, you gotta hear this" record that I've been playing for friends. I didn't know this was getting harder to get, I got mine from Idems shop in Melbourne a few months ago. I think Invisible Man is my favourite.
  • The Crayon Fields - Animal (Trifekta) nice 2006 release. Zombieslike I think they used to be on a mates label, Art School Dropout. At their Melbourne album launch 2 of my friends were dressed up in giant bear (think the Kanye bears) suits and ano…
  • All of the above, plus these: Fuck oath. Good old Brisbane boys. My best mate's dad was in the Saints (post stranded arty period). I would class them as punk though. Stranded was 1977..
  • I recommend the "Heartbeats" 45 to strutters who want an introduction to this local Swedish experience. It's a killer track. I really dig You Take My Breath Away too. I liked Deep Cuts more than Silent Shout. Sweden's got some fucking great artis…
  • He's coming to oz as well. With Neyo and Rhianna. Tix were like $140AUS or some shit.
