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...

Hehe. yep, it can get cold here. It was 32 c last week, which counts as hot. They reckon we might have frost next week, which is wierd.

Technology is so confusing. PHP, MySQL, other acronyms. Why can't designing a CMS (Content Management System... I think) be as easy as buying a diet coke? Because that's quite easy.

Thank god for my dad. He'll be designing me and alex_letango's site for us. How awesome is he? So awesome.

I'd love to be a part of that....however, I don't live in Australia (wish I did), let alone even visited. Good luck with all that. I hope you find all the right people to help you realize your dream. Rock on.
