I didn't buy Nick Cave's narration of his book, or 2 lectures of his on the history of love songs...
This is quickly shaping up to be a very good start to the holidays.
Yesterday I finished my last exam, which was a lot better than I could've hoped. This was a good thing.
That day I decided to treat myself to a CD shopping spree, so went to the Bourke st. JB. Whilst there I realised to my excitement that the new Tomahawk CD had been released 2 days earlier than I thought it would be, and so snatched it up with reckless abandon...but not before reading the flyer in front of it which read a little something like this:
"Come meet MIKE PATTON, signing copies of the new TOMAHAWK album ANONYMOUS, Friday 22 June"
This was a very, very, very good thing. As a hopeless Patton fanboy I almost dropped a load right there and then. Not only will I get to see him fronting Peeping Tom that night for Hamish's 18th, but I'll get to high-five the hell out of him beforehand! Unfortunately Leon is working that day so I've got no one to take a photo of him with me :( Frase, you've got a few FNM CDs, don't you..?
The only thing which marred this experience was that neither of the JBs in the city (nor the one in Camberwell, I found today), nor Dirt Cheap nor Virgin Records, believe in stocking any Architecture In Helsinki albums. I cried an energetic and complex tear over that, because I thought that's what they would've wanted.
Anyway, Mike Patton on friday! I'm pumped! I hope he's not a dick, otherwise I'll never be able to listen to any of the 19 Patton CDs I own ever again.
and ps. the new Tomahawk CD is very interesting, and very good.
pps. 19? Fuck I'm a loser.
