and you're all fucked anyway.

Digger and the Pussycats 2am Pony show was definitely the best time I’ve had in ages. We were watching a friend’s band in the city beforehand, and I was worried we'd miss the 'good' songs .

I’m not a huge fan of Pony- it smells and it’s always chock-ab-block full of creeps, but it was so busy on Friday it didn’t matter.

We were all a bit drunk, and nearly lashed 10 minutes after arriving there in favour of getting food and going to bed, but as we were walking out of the room we heard the seductive guitar notes of ‘I want to be your slut’, so we came back and the song cured our sickness.

Our new friend Lucette was there (we see her nearly every time we see a band), and she played a bit of drums for them in a later song.

When they played ‘Coming to get you’ they said, “This is for Madi”, which was exciting know that finally my high intensity fandom has paid off haha.

Good times.

freedom in the loot


Whilst on my Liddiard obsession, I 'spose I should mention I saw him with the rest of his super good lookin' band mates at the Forum.

I missed out on the Twerps and PK14 because I went to my friends before heading off to the Forum, which was sixty times better for my self esteem anyway.

The Drones were really good, but apparently the sound sucked. I couldn't tell though 'cos I was close to the front.

Here is a picture from the Melbourne International Arts Festival's Facebook:

Radicalisation of D

Listen to the Radicalisation of D by Gareth Liddiard. Despite it coming in at just short of sixteen minutes, it was probably the most beautiful and harrowing sixteen minutes of my day.

A million dollars that kids in VCE will be studying his words in years to come.

On a lighter note--what a babe. I'm really into this whole Ned Kelly/ Australian look at the moment. I've got the boots, the background, and necessary aussie classics on my bookshelf, but i jut can't grow the facial hair.

Lucky I'm a girl, I spose.

greed, money, useless children

My life is in a complete musical lull right now- we haven't even had a band practice in a month and i've seen next to no gigs. I've been listening to Nancy Sinatra. I think I'm getting soft.

I'm going to talk about other shit now.

Lucky you.
