Vinyl haul from Melbs. If I had more money to throw around, this list would be much longer:
Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime
Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the Yard
Extortion - Terminal Cancer
Missing Link blew my mind. Godflesh, Blood Brothers, California Love, Coffins, Lack of Interest, and more than I could possibly list here... all on vinyl and under one roof. My friend/acquaintance wasn't working the day I went in there, will have to wait until the next tour to say hai.
I liked Melbourne. It was busy, old and well-loved - the place had soul to it, if I can say so without sounding like a complete wanker. I rode one tram, the rest of the time I walked around, spotting a road I hadn't gone down yet and doing some exploring. Highlights include finding the weirdest shop I've ever checked out, full of skeletons, old-time medical equipment and assorted dead things (they had the Deaths Head Moth mounted in a frame, for fuck's sake, WANT). Lowlights include being accosted by the most condescending Mission Australia lady ever, but overall it was an enjoyable few days. I only wish I'd been there on a weekend, but now I have a reason to go back.
I won't be back in Brisbane for a few more days, I'm taking tomorrow to clear my head and after that I'm working two days here on the Coast. I've had a lot of stuff on my mind for the last few weeks, and it's getting to the point where I consciously need to keep myself in check at times. Melbourne didn't have any answers for me, not that I expected it to, and I doubt the Coast does either. I need to get home and sort a few things out, but before then I could use a few days to nail down exactly what those things are.

I wish you luck in finding some answerers to your questions,maybe the answers will come upon you when you least expect it.
