HAPPY NEW YEAR!

thirteen days

2006-11-09T14:50:00.000+11:00

Check out the in-flight entertainment Qantas has en route to Tokyo, in particular the second movie from the list.

Yeah, very funny guys!

YES!

I finally nabbed a copy of Coki - Torture / Shattered (Tempa).

Torture (or Tortured?) is THE one. When Kode 9 dropped it the other night I think I got whiplash from skankin so hard. I loved how Kodes didn't even need to look up at the crowd to give it an instant rewind right after the drop. Sound system badness I tells you. Can't believe I haven't given mention to the Phoenix Bar gig two Sundays ago. Some amazing tunes were played on that Hijack sound.. you can imagine it was pretty loud. I couldn't find my ear plugs at home so we had to improvise. It was the most fun i've had with toilet paper stuck in my ears.

deadbeat & gettin tipsy

2006-10-17T00:17:00.000+10:00

I caught Deadbeat at 77 on the weekend. Totally digging the dubby electronic sounds he's been producing. For some unknown reason I pictured a room full of people just standing around during his set but was pleasantly surprised to see that everyone was getting down on the dance floor. Afterwards, I went to UN and danced to some Beyonce and Cassie and JT. True Story.

Leave approved!

2006-09-28T21:44:00.000+10:00

So i've been given the go ahead by the boss after asking for 2 months off. REJOICE! It might've been a problem if they said no, because I bought my plane ticket 5 months ago.

Now it's time to get my shit together. I've just booked the first stop in Osaka and I guess it will go from there. Eight more weeks until Japan and Europe!

Dubstep appreciation night

Sub Merge @ Abercrombie Hotel
Thursday August 31
Cnr Abercrombie St & Broadway
FREE ENTRY!
Semper Fi, Eli, Kodama, Broke and 0dub (me!)
Flyer

SUBmerge. SUBsonics. SUBmariners. As you can see that this night is going to be pretty weighty!

I must've bought about a dozen new 12"s in the last week or so. So many great releases have come out lately and i'm looking forward to hearing them looouud. One to take note of is Geeneus' 3 tracker from the mighty SOULJA imprint (yes they're back). It has the awesome 'Parasite' which i'm finally glad has seen the light of day. The first time I heard it was when Lombardo dropped it at a Darksyde party in early 2004. All the ladies were getting down to its slinkiness and I was just floored with its sickening bass. It's so sexy and gangsta at the same time. Fun for the whole family I tell ya.

Wow, has it really been almost 2 months since the last update?

I'm homeless!

2006-07-05T10:06:00.000+10:00

I've even got a hobo bag to prove it! I wish those fuckers at the real estate can sort their shit out! I want my bed! and my computer! Exclamation marks!!

2006-05-28T23:31:00.000+10:00

I checked out the World Press Photo exhibition earlier today at the State Library. It was the last day running but fortunately you can still see all the photos on the site. Some really confronting and downright amazing images on world events that have happened in the past year.

2006-05-10T23:02:00.000+10:00

If you're a tight arse like me and don't mind watching free movies, then you should check this out on Wednesdays at the Chifley Plaza.

I only found out about it today so decided to investigate. They were screening 'Doro no kawa' aka Muddy River. If you hate kids, you probably won't enjoy it, but I found it to be very charming. You need to get there early though for decent seats otherwise peoples heads get in the way of the subtitles, then you have to pretend to laugh when everyone else is laughing.

fuckery

2006-05-08T13:56:00.000+10:00

My back tooth is bloody killing me, I should really get it checked out yet i find it hard to justify spending $200 at some dodgy dentist when i wouldn't think twice spending the same amount of money on records. My priorities are awesome.

The undead took over the city on Sunday afternoon. :(

They loitered at the Town Hall steps..

They even brought along their zombie dogs.

They went shopping at QVB.

Zombies don't stop for traffic lights.

Children were an easy target.

Cute but blurred zombie pirates.

A confrontation.

Zombies - 1. Humans - 0

They found their way to Circular Quay.

It was a great day until I got attacked by a mob of living dead.

2006-03-17T11:43:00.000+11:00

Just bought this baby off e-bay for a bargain.

It's a Zenitar 16mm fish eye lens. It's about 10 million times less bulkier than my Sigma 20mm. People cower in fear when I take photos with that thing. This is a bit less obvious.

IT'S ALL GONNA BREAK

2006-03-14T00:45:00.001+11:00

2nd time at the Metro in as many weeks. Bukem last Saturday was all right. Not my style of d&b but it's great to see a rammed room going off to 175bpm. The week before that I was there for Broken Social Scene. Again, it was all right. Not the mind blowingly great performance I expected it to be but still an enjoyable night.

Anyone got a spare ticket for Fat Freddy's Drop?

DIPLODICUS

2006-02-19T23:09:00.001+11:00

Diplo put on a ridiculous show at the Mandarin Club last night. Quite possibly the most enjoyable party set i've heard on a night out. He's a pretty nice guy as well who stuck around after his set chatting and dancing with us local peasants. Also, how cool is that dancefloor? It was bouncing around so much that you didn't even need to move your legs, just waving your arms around a bit was good enough to create the dancing illusion.

I'd play a lot of DMZ.

It would be known as the Dubstep-Mobile.

Last.fm

2006-02-07T01:23:00.000+11:00

Last.fm keeps track of all the music you play through Winamp or Media Player. Tune into Last.fm radio and it magically selects tunes that are somewhat similar to your tastes. I don't know how the fuck Robbie Williams got onto the playlist though! I guess that's what the "Ban this song" button is for :o

In other news, there's less than a month to go until Broken Social Scene. Diplo is playing at the Mandarin Club on the 18th which should be off the HOOK. Edan was amazing at the otherwise bogan infested Big Day Out. Southern Steppa Sessions is back on at Inhale on the 16th. Fat Freddy's Drop has a gig in March! I HAVE BEEN VERANDAH BAR FREE FOR 2 MONTHS!

Next year

2005-11-10T14:34:00.000+11:00

Saul Williams and Four Tet will be doing some shows amongst other stuff happening at the Sydney Festival. This is going to be ridiculously cool! Williams' live show supposedly consists of just him, his mic and a dude on an MPC. If it's anything like his live set at Stockholm that i've been caning, it should be one hell of a show. Already I can see myself drawing comparisons to Sage Francis' Basement show last year. It was the most energetic hip hop gig I've ever witnessed, and all it was was this fat bearded man spitting lyrics over some instrumentals that he played on his portable discman! Who needs bright lights and make up when you've got talent?

One of our goldfish hasn't been looking too well since Friday. It constantly looks like it's about to go belly up but every couple of minutes it starts swimming normally again. Then we found out that it was just the current from the filter swishing it around. It's been quarantined into a separate bowl now, but I don't think he'll survive overnight. His fins are barely moving, and his breathing has almost come to a stop. :(

2005-10-26T09:24:00.000+10:00

I asked for $50 cash out, but the lady gave $100. Score!

So today i'm going to buy Broken Social Scene's new cd.

I don't really feel sorry for her stupidity.

Does anyone know how to kill moths?

2005-10-07T13:37:00.000+10:00

There's about a billion of them just hanging out on our balcony. These little shits are so annoying, they can't even fly properly.. running into walls and mirrors and leaving their crap all over them.
I want cool animals chilling out on my balcony, like Kookaburra's or alligator-eating Pythons. Is it too much to ask!?

What the hell is going on?

2005-09-19T11:44:00.000+10:00

My eyes are starting to swell. My nose is running, and I can't stop sneezing.

I hope it's this new avian flu thing that's going around. It sounds so much cooler than having hayfever.

2005-09-02T10:43:00.000+10:00

Yesterday I bid farewell to my lovely mixer. I sold it because I needed the money for bond and rent, but instead I went and bought records with it. Records that I can't even listen to.

There is an excellent top to bottom cover across the whole resort. The whole mountain is blanketed in light dry powder. The wind blown will be amazing and the groomers smoothed up a storm overnight.

My bags are packed again, I just need to get through 8 hours of work.

Unfortunately i'm going to miss out on Mikecheck's first gig. At Gas no less! But Mr. Promoter says that he will be playing many more parties to come. Congrats dude, kick some ath.

I'm addicted to the white stuff

Yesterday I put my Interpol ticket in an envelope, sticky taped it and put it in the safe at work.

Tonight I will staple the envelope to my shirt where it will remain until such time that I need to produce the ticket to gain entry into the Enmore.

My bad luck continues

2005-07-25T13:33:00.000+10:00

2005-07-18T09:59:00.000+10:00

Some hack has their grubby hands on my iPod at the moment.

I can't believe I decide to lose it one week before the snows.

I feel sick.

soundnosound

2005-07-11T01:09:00.000+10:00

I was a bit bored on Saturday so I decided to go out of my comfort zone and check out something completely different. The place was Sound No Sound at the Mandarin Club.

Everyone there seemed to be on acid. There were at least 5 people literally rolling around on the floor and taking pictures of the carpet. One person was on his feet facing a wall the entire time I was there.

Kinda bummed that I missed most of it as it was actually kind of interesting. The one act I saw was playing the cello over some programmed organ type sound.

As I was walking out, someone recommended I check out Justice Yeldham & the Dynamic Rhythm Device. By 'rhythm device', he means plexiglass. This glass is connected to some wires connected to some mic/amp. He plays it by rubbing this piece of glass on his face.

Now why didn't I think of that?

EDIT: Haha, found a pic of Justice Yeldham.

BEAUX!

2005-07-03T22:25:00.000+10:00

Chris Inperspective completely owned on Friday. I'll go so far as saying that it was probably the gig of the year for me so far. I didn't have any doubts that he'd play a mean set, I was a bit more worried about the crowd turnout. But the fact that it was rammed and had a proper jungle vibe in there just made it all the more sweeter. Fuuuck!

Chris Inp
(Note: Those are my decks he was using. OMG I'LL NEVER TOUCH THEM AGAIN *swoon*)

All in all a pretty good d&b weekend. Calyx was on the night before at the Civic which wasn't too bad either.. except for their ridiculous drink prices. Good thing Shark Hotel was around the corner. Errrbody!

Yes, i'll admit it. I put up a ticket on sale at an auction site so I can make my million dollars and retire.

The number of times i've been ripped off on there, I think this one evil deed will balance everything out.

Say yes to equilibrium!

Toasty - Angel (Hotflush Recordings)

2005-06-22T10:50:00.000+10:00

I had one of those 'feeling good about everything' moments this morning as I was listening to Angel on my iPLOD. This is an awesome garage/jungle hybrid and is probably one of the deepest things i've heard in a looong time. I always thought The Knowledge could never be beaten, but it seems we have a new winner. Can't wait to drop this on the Filth gurnerers.

Well, that long weekend completely drained me of my energy, not to mention money.. but damn that was fun. I've learnt not to dance with a glass of red wine in hand, because no matter how confident you think you are with your super balancing act, you will inevitably spill some on your favourite shirt (omg.. captain awesome). Right, so the next few days i'll be living on canned soup, and I might take up Mi Goreng again. and maybe get some help with a drinking problem.

2005-05-13T01:42:00.000+10:00

I learnt a very important lesson in dj'ing tonight. bring. your. own. needles! Also, to avoid embarassment and awkward musical silence, learn to work out how to change the input on the mixer from CD deck to turntable before mixing in your track.

Bloc Party tickets go on sale at 9am to-day. The thought of hearing 'Positive Tension' live makes me squeal.

Surry Hills Festival

2005-05-11T22:52:00.000+10:00

Damn uni students ruined my peaceful lunch today screaming and yaying about 'No VSU'.

mmm, voluntary unions

It reminds me of another protest that happened on George Street a couple of months ago. I got off the bus at Wynyard about to do normal lunch time things but as the doors parted, I fell straight into the middle of some rally with red, white and green streamers and banners with Lebanese flags being waved around. It was no use going against the flow of people because there were too many of them, so for 100 metres or so, I walked, wanting the Syrian troops to get out of Lebanon.

I believe I owe you some pictures

2005-04-25T23:11:00.000+10:00

As promised here are is the picture of the two dead rats I found in my backyard 3 months ago.

Jengalist Movement at Copacabana.

I also have a new camera to play around with so I took a random pic of the living area of my apartment. That big red thing in the middle is not the Lotto ball! It's actually back support for the Eski-seat® (which you can't see because the ball is covering it).

2005-04-19T16:36:00.000+10:00

I found this pretty daggy jacket from Jazz Garter the other day. When I got home, I was checking its pockets and discovered a pink handkerchief and an empty packet of Uncle Tobys 'Wrapps' in there. Normally people will find this disgusting but I don't care cos hey, free hanky! As a side note, I don't think Uncle Tobys even sell that line of product anymore, the last time I saw it was probably when I was in Year 6.

Story of my life

I spewed out my insides in the Verandah Bar toilets.

R&B makes me sick.

I'm fasting

2005-04-07T13:30:00.000+10:00

Not because i'm religious but because payday isn't until Tuesday. Maybe I should pretend to play guitar in the Devonshire Tunnel for some easy money. Every time I walk past a certain busker there, he's always playing 'Wonderwall' ffs. The time he doesn't play it will be the time he gets a coin from me.

Also tonight:

I cleared the floor playing d&b to an r&b crowd. Recognize! The lone dancer with her shoes off and glowsticks attached to her flailing arms made it worth it.

Stupid air-con not working again

2005-03-30T16:42:00.001+10:00

I wish my boss was a bit more like David Brent. My old one was kinda like him because he laughed at his own jokes, but he had a drug habit and a penchant for Indonesian boys. I sit next to this loud lady at the moment. Her workstation is adorned with wooden elephant figurines, a stress ball shaped like a piece of turd and a plant growing out of a tea pot. Another woman in her 40s looks like she's walking around in nothing but an oversized jumper. She used to wear a purple shower cap to work but I guess that's out of fashion now. One day she asked me to come over to her desk, and under all this work related stuff in her filing cabinet, she showed me her stash of oriental porn. I haven't really talked to her much after that.

Make it happen

Awesome, it feels like one of those old albums that you already know all the lyrics to.

Little Birdy - Big Big Love
I think i'm going through some stupid pop phaze. Help.

Ben Lee - Awake Is The New Sleep
Except for 'Gamble Everything For Love', the rest is really shit. Case in point, here's an excerpt from 'Into The Dark'

"You’re not a landmine, you’re not a gold mine, no you’re not mine at all."

The cactus plant my mum gave me when I moved into the apartment has died. It seems that it doesn't like being given water every week and looking back, it probably needed to be out in the sunlight too. She'll be mad when she finds out, but dammit, if she had given a Venus Flytrap instead, this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

I dropped this at Filth on Saturday. The MC stopped what he was doing and said "What are you doing to me!". Now I understand why it was so huge in the UK. Ridiculous tune on a big rig, it makes you want to riot and pillage and break windows.

I watched 'The Shining' for the first time.

My friends thought it would be a good idea to pretend that it was my birthday last Friday. I got a drink out of it from a random. Happy 23rd to me.

RIP Discman

It died mid bus trip to work. I’ve shared many wonderful moments with this discman. One time it kept me company when I woke up at Katoomba station at 3.30 in the morning. I’m gutted. The last song it ever played was Modest Mouse – Broke. Seriously.

On the up side, I boiled two eggs today. I’m the fuckin man.

on love

IronChef Foicite: well, there's a lot of reasons
IronChef Foicite: i mean, roses only last like a couple weeks
IronChef Foicite: and that's if you leave them in water
IronChef Foicite: and they really only exist to be pretty
IronChef Foicite: so that's like saying
IronChef Foicite: "my love for you is transitory and based solely on your appearance"
IronChef Foicite: but a potato!
IronChef Foicite: potatos last for fucking ever, man
IronChef Foicite: in fact, not only will they not rot, they actually grow shit even if you just leave them in the sack
IronChef Foicite: that part alone makes it a good symbol
IronChef Foicite: but there's more!
IronChef Foicite: there are so many ways to enjoy a potato! you can even make a battery with it!
IronChef Foicite: and that's like saying "i have many ways in which I show my love for you"
IronChef Foicite: and potatos may be ugly, but they're still awesome
IronChef Foicite: so that's like saying "it doesn't matter at all what you look like, I'll still love you"

LOUD NOISES

i was sitting around pretending to do work when i hear a phone ringing a couple of workstations down. very feminine ring tone i thought, it must be the marketing managers. i had to hold in my laughter as the new guy came running in from the photocopying room with 'It's raining men' on full volume coming from his phone. Was he embarassed!

edit. god dammit, i need to check what i write.

there was a couple on the bus today. the taller one had his tattooed arm around the others shoulder, toying with his partners long black hair while whispering and nibbling at her ear. i minded my own business, trying to read my holiday brochures and listening to Wibutee on the discman but every once in a while i'd hear these two deep, manly voices laughing in unison. it was in the general direction of the couple. as they turned around to get off their stop, it started to make sense. that is, if two 50 year old men dressed in black mini skirts and matching tops make any sense. i don't know if it was the facial hair and manicured nails or the stubbly man legs that startled me, but as the two disappeared hand in hand down the exit, i looked around to see if anyone else could verify what i had just saw. i caught the eyes of a fellow commuter and she gave me a sly grin. i nodded as we silently shuddered to ourselves.

at least they looked happy.

some good things are happening on the music front. kid koala & rjd2 are back. last year, i had a lapse in decision making and decided to stay home while these two ripped shit up at the gaelic club. it looks like i'll miss out on rjd2 again (slip inn.. yes.. i will refuse to go there) but kid koala is a goer. how sick does this sound:

Kid Koala describes this new 3 hour long, 3 DJ, 8 turntable, piano, slide, video, and electronic show;"It's inspired by episodes of 'The Muppet Show' and 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. I imagined if all the Muppets bought turntables and did an episode of the show on stage it might end up a little like this. There are loud moments, there are melancholy moments and there are silly moments. It's DJ Jester, P-Love and myself with 8 turntables set up in five turntable stations like a band (one for each layer of the track) and we have to move around between the different stations depending on what we're doing on each track.

and ooo this thursday night sees dj spooky and atmosphere playing at the becks bar. finally i get to check out atmosphere jammin with a live band and a chance to have slug's man babies - hug me now!

i'm going on a holiday

i'll be lounging in this pool in about three weeks time and i simply can't wait. see on the top right there, in the spa, is where i'll be reading my book. and in the middle of that picture somewhere hidden under those palm trees is a pool side bar where scantily clad women will be serving unlimited alcohol. they will also feed me green seedless grapes and custard danish pecan pies.
