You didn't really ask me, but I'll tell anyway... -There's this girl who I knew years ago who had a big crush on me, but I was in a pretty serious relationship and nothing happened. I did like her, but I loved the girl I was with. Fast forward to n…

"what would the community think" is still my fave... It's a great album. I like Moonpix too, I wasn't very impressed with The Greatest though, apart from the single. "Names" is one of my favourite tracks too. So yes, I like her.

GOOD 1. I'm moving to New Zealand! Only for about 5-6 months, but after being in a fair rut, work and life wise, and going through an awful break up, I'm very excited. My cousin lives over there, so I got a job and place to stay sorted. 2. My life …

I'd probably go for (in no particular order) Velvet Underground and Nico Serge Gainsbourg- Melody Nelson Sun Ra- Strange Celestrial Road Alice Coltrane- Journey to Satchidananda Wu Tang- 36 Chambers Bjork- Vespertine Prowla- Lonewolf Love- Forever …

The best record I got this weekend was an unplayed copy of Trem "Sheer Talent". It's an extremely rare Melbourne hiphop 12". Also got Rob Natrule "A Night On The Tiles" 12" (rob from unkut.com) For some reason I slept on this when it came out. Nicol…

I really liked Fortress of Solitude. I thought it would just be a "cool" book, y'know, like it would drop some good graf writers and musicians names. But I was surprised that it was really well written. That cover's really good too. I bought a copy…

Awesometastic. Plaese to post the Tetris pics! Herm I'll get my mate to email them to me, then they'll be up. How big are those crates? From the pic, it looks like you can fit about 500 lp's in each crate. They're just normal milkcrates. They…

Not Paris related, but a good mate of mine did this and he got an email from Banksy congratulating him for it, he was rapt. He also referenced it in some article he wrote. They also did a giant crate tetris game as well.

Dustygroove and jetset records (japan) used to have them. I think it was about $260 aus for the gp3 and an extra needle including shipping from jetset. But they don't seem to have them anymore. Maybe ask in the wanted section, they seem to be aroun…

From Idems shop in Melbourne I got -A looks-beat-but-plays-pretty-damn-well original copy of Funkadelic "America Eats Its Young" -The Meters "Look-Ka Py Py" -Kelis "Bossy" 12" promo -Cee-Lo "Closet Freak" 12" promo -Lavell Kamma and his Afro Soul Re…

Anne Franks house is worth seeing too.

Rome and the rest of Italy is absolutely beautiful. I didn't get to a lot of the touristy places though, me and my (now ex) girlfriend were there for about 5 days, and on the first day we found out her grandfather had died, so neither of us were too…

Bloody oath. Melbourne's a great place to live. The best rappers come from Melbourne too.
-
Oh, and I've been singing "Get Outta My Life Woman" and "You're Gonna Miss Me" by the 13th Floor Elevators at work for the past few weeks. Says much about my mind state?

My girlfriend broke up with me then came out of the closet about 2 months ago. Today would have been our 3 year anniversary. I was completely fucked for about a month. I couldn't eat or sleep, I felt sick constantly, but couldn't actually be sick. …
-
all my good black-and-white ones co-star the exgirlfriend and won't be getting dug up nor scanned Same. It sucks. I've gotta try and get a scan of them though....the worst is that she still has about 8 rolls of undeveloped film from when we went to…
-
Damn, that's awful. An amazing musician. It would have been great to see him in one of the recent-ish tours. R.I.P.
-
When I saw the title I thought "Shit! Someone's using the same name as Trem and Nat!" It's good that he's getting appreciated. The article on Prowla's tape Recognition is great. I'd kill for one of the test pressings they got done for that. I hope…

I got cheated on about 2 months ago (4 year gf, with my bro and best friend). That shit AIN'T cool! I can't even explain the emotions that one goes through after this type of thing. I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. First off there's the animalis…

Dear Local Gigs That Aren't HipHop, You're good, and I'm kinda sorry I didn't take the plunge a few years ago. I've always listened to your albums, but now I realise how good your live shows are. The Eddy Current Supression Ring will be doing a "yo…

jbarker, The Dirty Three are fucking amazing and have been around for a long time now. I've never seen them live (missed them last week) but i've heard that violin player is quite a character. Yeah, I remember taping one of their albums off my co…
-
Was Warren Ellis involved in this? I think I heard somewhere he wrote it with Cave.... I saw him (Ellis) play with his band The Dirty Three a few weeks ago, and they were amazing. An instrumental group with violin, guitar and drums. Not jazz, not r…
-
I'd say that Liquorice Pie is the pick of the bunch too. Dave's a good bloke. They always have something good there.
-
I'm not really feeling them. A lot of my mates love them, and I'd heard a lot about them before actually hearing them, but my first thoughts were the obvious Led Zep comparison. I tend to go for newer shoe gazing shit and older rock.
-
I don't know if they're really classed as "emo", but I've been feeling these "alternative" albums. Smog "A River Ain't Too Much To Love". I love the song Palimpset. Perfect hungover record. Sufjan Stevens "Greetings From Michigan The Great Lakes…

I'm at my girlfriends and this is on. At home, I've played this a bit. And a 45 by Nesta on Stark Reality that I can't find any info about.

Me and my girl were in Europe last year and experienced all that first hand. The Louvre was worst of all. We went there during the day and it was hell, then went back at night (friday) and it was free entry for under 26's and the unemployed. Complet…

I've only dug with a few mates, and I don't mind it too much. One of my best friends digs a little, but is into finding Supremes, Simon & Garfunkle etc, so the psychy/jazzy/funky shit I get. But she's cool, and I'm quite sure she would give me a…

Yeah, it's amazing. My favourite cities were Verona, Florence and the Cinque Terra region. Michaelangelos David is the most incredible thing I've seen. I drank till 4 in the morning the night before, then stood in the sun lining up for 40 minutes, …
