Gig at the Yak Speakeasy Last Year
i was thinking last night that rather than a political band I want to create a philosophical band ... a band dedicated to a particular metaphysical or epistimelogical point of view, like Objectivism or Platonism.
And be *really* into it ... bands with causes only work when you are really earnest about them, otherwise it just becomes a joke.
Perhaps even an existential band ......

I love it! You could do something about art in The Republic if you went Platonist.
You could submit everything to the elenchus!
(okay, I'm getting a bit too geeky now)

Elenchus! Awesome ... I had to look that one up ... my memory is a little rusty
But it all comes flooding back.

INC were very very cool!
Lead singer is crazy, he surfed out on the crowd and hung from the rafters, dance like a maniac ... has some of the best microphone skills I've ever seen ... twirls, catches, throwing to other band members, it was pretty hilarious
I love Scandanavians, they're always so earnest ... must be the cold and darkness or something ... INC...

- Wander bookshops x 5
- Coffee

- Coffee
- Bday party for friend 'Screaming' Jay, whereupon I:
-- imbibe several soda waters (I no longer drink)
-- have conversation with X-girlfriend and become terribly angsty...

At least no one can hate your haircut...

Unless, of course, they hated my hair already ...
Fuck Yeah!
Mucking around and running the new keyboard through disortion pedal and big-arse valve amp and it sounds FUCKING AWESOME. The beats sound chopped-up and ragged and some of the sounds suddenly become full and chaotic ...
Plus, it has a record function! Hit record, play something, hit playback ... simple. Much easier than fritzing with Ableton Live on the computer, which I still...

Dodgy keyboard I bought on eBay arrived today.
Fuck!
It is so very dodgy. A totally old Casio-Tone vibe - with preset rythyms and built in speakers. It looks like an old-school ghetto blaster with a massive keyboard attached to it. The built-in sounds are terrible, none of them sound anything at all like what they are meant ... the trumpet is particularly aborhent.
BUT,...

I want to go to Sigur Ros. But I don't.
Bought tickets for X for Xmas. Back when she wasn't X. Sigur Ros are like 'our' band ... I haven't even been able to listen to them for years, ever since our first break-up long ago. But I want to see them. People rave about them live, and the music is totally amazing. When you...

I managed to sprain my wrist at training last night. Not badly, but enough to be annoying. Had ice on it most of the day.
Was over work - not really much good at typing with one hand, and generally seasonally affected by the crappy Melbourne weather, so just left at 4, came home to read and have a bath and eat hot cross buns....

New cover for our next gig:
Flock of Seagulls, I Ran
Very fun to play.
I am like, *totally* into the 80s at the moment.
I missed them at the time because, I didn't have any older siblings or anyhing and was largely immune to popular culture - side-effect of being a geek. Learnt to program Basic at the age of 6 but had NO...

Quinne has a new set and she totally looks like a girl I went out with. Not just in the new set, but in general.
Actually, come to think of it, that's how I found SG ... I saw an ad with Quinne and I thought it was this friend of mine.

lucky you

nah, she just moved to adelaide with her boyfriend.
Moved house on the weekend. Minutes of fun. I only moved because my old place was sold ... was living by myself and now I am back in the share house system, albeit with a rather plumb setup. I've got an entire 2-storey garaga/bungalow area to myself ... all our band equipment including my drums! (for the first time in, well, ages, I am living...
