I'm tired of fighting, fighting for a lost cause

Seriously, Beck AND The Flaming Lips, so amazing. So much brilliance.

Also a good song from a really beautiful album, Sea Change.

Faris Badwan

Scream at the end.

He's just such a turnip. That interview, "so stubbly" ahaaa

Josh is so beautiful and fantastic as well. He'll have an appreciation post soon as well.

Faris is really super inspiring to me, his lyrics are incredible and his stage presence is just amazing. Crazy crazy stuff earlier when they were touring Strange House, he was an absolute nutter, it was brilliant.

Doomed to embarrassment forever methinks...

Okay, so this is the dream that I had last night. Joe Spurgeon and Rhys Webb were both in my house. There was an assortment of people there also, I remember Hobbes and Angie there and definitely my sister Roeroe, but I can't remember who else.

I was on the phone talking to someone about something, a novelty event for being on the phone, who'da thunk it? Anyway, Joe walked past me a couple of times and I smiled at him. Eventually he began to smile back at me. Rhys was leaning on the piano like the mega babe that he is.

Something I distinctly remember was that I was in the strangest position to be talking on the phone in. One leg was up on a chair I think and the arm that wasn't holding the phone was reaching back over my shoulder so as to reveal my excellent armpit arch.

At some point in the night, Sophie put a white moisturising cream just beneath my eyes because I was looking so tired from staying up so late doing her business report with her. After this, I built up the courage to talk to Rhys and to thank him for his brilliant because I'm a motherlicking creep. So we just talked for a bit and then it was Hobbes, Angie and I in the bathroom (not the toilet bathroom, just the bathroom that has a bath, sink and shower) and we were shortly after joined by Roeroe. I looked in the mirror and noticed the moisturising cream completely noticeable under my eyes.

For some reason, I couldn't remember if Roeroe had applied this stuff before or after my conversation with Rhys. She shot me a sympathetic look and told me that I had it on while I spoke with Rhys. I was a little bit devastated, so Hobbes and Angie were consoling me in the bathroom, as I was now assured that every meeting and encounter I had with Rhys Webb would entail an immense amount of embarrassment. That's all I remember.

A TORSO A TORSO A TWISTED TORSO (Song of the day)

Kicking Kay-The Horrors

This song is so excellent for when I just want to spend all my money on crappy things like clothes and boots that don't even fit me because my feet are just too big too exist in nice babin' boots...and then I listen to this song..and I just want to buy a good set of drums.

Today's adventures and the song of the day!

So I actually started back at university today...but it was just wind band, which is compulsory for my course (I'm studying classical flute, hahahah, yeup) so I didn't have any classes. It was actually okay, the girls who I was in band with last year have gone, which is great, because I felt really intimidated by them, so I actually kind of enjoy wind band now. I didn't think that could happen, but alas, it has. For one week anyway.

So I went to the post office before hopping on a bus to venture into the city, as I have put together little package of cd's for my dear cousin, Nick, with stuff that I haven't been able to stop listening to like The Horrors, The Sonics, The Cramps, The Jesus and Mary Chain etc. etc. Anyway, after giving her the package to weigh, this conversation followed, she's going to be POW (post office woman, not prisoner of war):

POW: Are you Mexican?

Me: No, I'm actually half Greek.

POW: Yeeeah you do have a Greek nose...don't worry, it's good

I told her I didn't think so, at which point she saw the bag of cookies (chocolate chip cookies stuffed with oreos to be precise) that I was holding that my dear friend gave me. I offered the POW a cookie. She didn't want it.

It was really hilarious.

Anyway, so I went to the record store today in the city for the first time in like, months. And I got a record by The Rationals called 'Out on the Floor'. Yeahyeah Hobbes, it's a collection of songs rather than an album, but I wanted to get it okaaaay! The first track is so kickin', so here it is folks, the song of the day! Also, enjoy the rest of the coming week, I feel like this semester is not going to be as traumatic as I had originally thought..excellent!

Leavin' Here-The Rationals

Song of the day

The Green Door-Jim Lowe

I got this baby on 7" yesterday at a record fair. I'll list some stuff I got actually, I'm really excited about them! Hobbesey scored some incredible stuff as well, I can't wait to sit down and hear it all.

University starts back this week, it's monday today and I start back on wednesday...hm, this should be interesting. I might die, but that's okay, I can just go record hunting after my class to make me feel a 'lil better. Perks of going to uni in the city, despite the stupid amount of travel time.

CLUSTERCUSS

MAN, RADIOHEAD IS TOURING. TICKETS ARE SO EXPENSIVE AND THEY GO ON SALE IN LIKE, FOUR DAYS. OH MY CUSS. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
