Fun night.

Judged the World Battle Of The Bands, as is usual for a Tuesday night. It's a shame they stopped giving us open reign over the bar, but I understand that us drinking $120 worth between three people may have antagonised them a little.

Post-judging, a mate and I went to the Townie (the place to go on a Tuesday night at 1am) and...

I have never been less proud to be Australian.

Sometimes I think we've come such a long way. Sometimes it feels like we're heading towards something good and right. Sometimes it feels as if, when we say 'a fair go for all,' we might really mean it.

I'm saddened and embarassed by my countrymen.

This is a terrible day to be Australian.

Early on in the campaign, I was feeling hopeful. Over the last 2 weeks, this hope dwindled. The more I read, the less I liked it. Now, today, I just feel ... numb. Howard's attitude to ... well, just about everything ... kills me. But his eagerness to bypass the State Governments particularly makes my blood run cold.

I hate hating people. And today I hate so many people... frown

It's election day. This is my column from The Brag, which comes out on Monday:

The problem with political jokes is they get elected. The famous-just-for-this-quote Henry Cate, VII.

By the time this goes to print, the election will be decided. Either Latham or Howard will have been emblazoned on the cover of the paper, and champagne bottles will have been popped at someones...

Ignore Mad World for a while, and listen to Gary Jules' albums Greetings From The Side and Trading Snakeoil For Wolftickets. They're seriously the best.

The bands who played at the World Battle Of The Bands tonight were fucking incredible. Kicking out four of them and putting two through to the semi-finals was way too hard. All of them fucking owned.

Got sent Duran...

Should we get a bunch of us together to come along to the next Tuesday thingie?
holliday:
Thanks for making that comment about my rejected SG set. I'm glad you liked it! In fact, I'm glad you were finally able to see it!

I was torn about the lighting and color. I kind of like it the way it is...but it's not consistent...I'll find myself a new photographer and try again in three months!!

The first Sydney SG meet in a good while was tonight, and it was the first I've ever been to. Present were Azlea, Tahliana, TheFuckOffKid, illbillzillbub up from Melbourne, EliCash, Linz here from Oklahoma and JESL.

Went to the Townie, drank beers, a good way to spend a couple of hours. Good to meet everyone, apart from TheFuckOffKid who keeps...

yeah, private press wasn't as good, but did you really expect it to be? i mean, for some reason people have the expectation that an artist's albums should get progressivley better with each release, but fuck, how do you top an instant classic with an even better album? people get suprised when shadow, rjd2, interpol,etc release sophmore efforts that aren't as good as their debut. i think thats just to be expected, very few artists are capable of surpassing the bar they set for themselves. private press is an interesting and very respectable effort. thats about the best i could have asked for.

Didn't get the TV Hits job, which isn't all that surprising but is annoying in that it means I'll have to apply for more. Gross. Applying for writing jobs is teh suck.

Apparently fox hunters don't like Tony Blair. Thanks news.

Fun weekend involving Hell City Glamours. Those fuckers go nuts. Gotta' love the 80s rock.

Sorry to hear you didn't get the job...

Judging the World Battle Of The Bands is fun, but sometimes the bands get way too insulted by not getting through.

Here's a tip fuckers: If you didn't get through, I'm happy to give your feedback. But ultimately, it was because you weren't very good, so don't fucking whinge at us judges when you don't like the honest, genuine feedback we're giving you. Thanks.

Ah...

My interview with TV Hits went well. I wore a suit and felt like a total utter knob. Which was fun. We'll see if I get it, but I'm quietly, secretly confident.

Spent last night judging the Sydney part of the World Battle Of The Bands. Free beer and some awesome co-judges. A good time indeed. Went back to the girl I pashed a while...

My birthday was good. Went to dinner with family. And last night I went out with mates and unsurprisingly hit the piss. Went to a goth club in the city which was fun. Man, those goth kids love to have a good time. And by good time I mean sitting in the corner brooding. But I don't mind a bit of brooding, so rock 'n'...

I got my tax return which meant that this week was spent with my long lost friend Cash Money. It was good to have him back.

But then I gave a bit of him to the bank to pay off my credit card, a little bit to Myer to pay off my store card, a little bit to friends to pay off debts. And then...
