haven't been this excited about a release in quite some time. this is magic!!

edit: include true romance under the excited about release category too. omfg help!

thought i'd wait to write about dj marky & stamina until my review was up on sydney friction. so here it is. it was a mission trying to remember things from this night. half of it is probably crap made up by my scary drunken face. don't drink too much vodka & red bull. it makes you shake.. a lot :/ *twitch*

it was heaps fun though. ask the guy that was making love to the speaker stack.

have you ever seen a rage against the machine live concert? there is this weird thing that weird guys in the crowd do where they form a circle and basically just start running around in an anti clockwise direction pushing and shoving each other along the way. is this like the rock equivalent of the r&b party circle?

fuck you i won't do what you tell me! i'll run around in circles if i like! rah! then zack de la rocha belts out a rock rap version of ring a ring a rosie.

try albatross overload. freakin hell can't stop playing!

so i finally got to see eternal sunshine of the spotless mind the other night. its been talked up a lot so was expecting big things and it wasn't too bad. for the most part, it's pretty confusing.. it lacks any sort of order & keeps switching between reality & la la land and only starts making sense in the last few minutes and you sit there going AH HA! it's all coming together now! yay! but hey i think that was the effect they were trying to achieve. nice head fuck. captures the dream state nicely. touching too. good work then...

i'm rick james bitch!

okay now i know where that originated from.

bought a couple of records last night.

influx uk - take my [formation]
i was listening to bingo sessions volume 1 and zinc finishes with ghost people (the 2004 remix of this tune). fucking hell it's heavy! and when the little acoustic guitar break down comes on i thought.. wtf, why don't i have the original yet. bag it!

special forces - satisfy [metalheadz]
kinda dubby kinda rolling sorta thing with lots of delay on the vocals.. i rikey! think it'll sound good in the middle of a set somewhere..

process - rickshaw [ohm resistance]
been meaning to get this for ages. finally! crazy ass drums and stuff. it really does sounds like a rickshaw trying to get somewhere with those tinny sounds. lol

and a mad newie by wizzbit - old skool [road]
woohoo.. this tune is damn sexy! gets your feet twitching and just makes ya want to bump. lombardo dropped a couple of wizzbit dubs at 77 and if you were there, you'd know it was done by this guy cos the bass just consumes you whole. heelP!

well.. that was useless. no more buying for now. if you see me with any new vinyl in the next week or so, please shoot me.

dizzee rascal's coming to sydney. july 23 at the gaelic club.

roll deeper pleaze!

karaoke is the most painful thing ever.

this guy dedicated a song to his girl and sang (i use that term loosely) 'i believe i can fly'. very sweet and all, but i just felt like telling him, i believe you need to sit down. even the william hung version was better!

it was my sister's 21st yesterday and the drunken shenanigans will start at home on saturday. there are two cases of beer, two cases of wine and other alcomoholics poking faces at me on the kitchen floor. being the nice brother that i am, i've got her 2 tickets to the nerd concert coming up. i am secretly hoping that she'll give one of those tickets to me. chances of that are zero though. might leave a subtle hint behind like writing my name in big fat texta on the back of one the tickets.

besides that, i just want to hide under a blanket and read my book. 'ghostwritten' by david mitchell. it was just a random buy from an el cheapo book store a few days ago but it's looking very promising so far.

flicking through the tv channels today i saw the advertisment for 'there's something about miriam' for the first time. had to laugh. unlucky! here's a reality show worth watching just to see the peoples reactions.

i feel like i've just eaten half a human. at least it makes up for the lack of food on sunday & missing out on the dnbbq food on saturday night booo! speaking of which, it was a pretty damn good night. i just wished the monitors weren't playing up while i was on. but blah, excuses. breakage dropped a massive set. you know, those ones where you just wanna overturn tables, break glass and scream fuuuuuck youuuu! to people. it was fun.
