Can you tell I've been listening to Underworld again?
The crap that some people get up to in their lives. Then have the audacity to talk about it. I should fucking talk! lol
I woke up this morning, walked into the lounge, and there was a brand-spanking new television peering at me. And a DVD player. My Irish flatmates had been busy, indeed. Switched it on. Static. Hahahaha! Girls. 20 minutes later I had all the free to air channels programmed sequentially, and the DVD player was up and running. Good thing they were out of the house at the time - the things I did to it.
For all the pointless "cuteness" going on in this world, I offer up this :
Manic Street Preachers - "Faster"
I hate purity
Hate goodness
I don’t want virtue to exist anywhere
I want everyone corrupt
I am an architect, they call me a butcher
I am a pioneer, they call me primitive
I am purity, they call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave
I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please
A morality obedient, only to the cleansed repented
I am stronger than mensa, miller and mailer
I spat out plath and pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell
The first time you see yourself naked you cry
Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken
He loves me truly this mute solitude I’m draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing
Sleep can’t hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren’t clean, false mirrors too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I’ve been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else
I am stronger than mensa, miller and mailer
I spat out plath and pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell, learnt to spell
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
The Manics Official website has been looking rocking - re-designed and all [to co-incide with the release of their new record "Lifeblood" - http://www.manics.co.uk/04/
It's nice being a Kiwi right now, knowing everything that's going on in the world, and here we are, hands clean. Bloodless. Oh, except for that test match coming up with Wales. Graham'll have a nice time. Henry, that is.
Oh, and then there's the cricket match with those bloody Aussies. Good luck, Flem. You'll need it.

I'm doing something real. I'm playing in a band. A band with a conscience and not playing bullshit. Ok, so the MUSIC might sound bullshit, hahaha - but at least we're conveying a message of relevance in todays society. It feels good to be proactive in that fashion - I think it's the only thing keeping me here. I don't know if I can go back to New Zealand with all that history there. In one way, I desperately want to. Revisit everything. Discover new things. Push the boundaries of exploration. In another way, I now have my radar aimed north, to Europe and the United Kingdom. Do a "strugglers" trip - a-la Len Lye.
Ahhh, back to Underworld. I'm taken back to their "ManLoop" tune. It's just a lovely feeling, that tune. Bliss. This is my planet. Well, my little corner, anyway.
Thought I'd do the world a favour and download Winamp onto this computer. Damn - it'll be a while. Best tak random crap on my diary then, as my brain spits the thoughts out. AND read up on other peoples lives. See their photos. And listen to ManLoop.
Most annoyed at the Erskineville Bowling Club for their sheer lack of sense. And organisational skills. Our band Listen were booked in to play headline on the 25th of November. Turns out that the main man there and the booking agent [two seperate people] were at crossed purposes. The booking agent understood it that we were booked there to play on the 18th, whereas the main man we were doing the deal with had us down for the 25th. So we can't do the 18th at all!! And now, they're looking at slotting us in on the 25th at a time which clashes with my work schedule - so that's ALSO out of the question. A little better communication would have gone a long way. So, I'm on a mission. Now with Natasha's resignation, I'm going to do some guerilla work in organising venues. Javed has been very pro-active in talking to various places to get us work. And let me tell you, it HAS been work!! But it's work I suppose we all enjoy. I'm certainly happy to get blisters all over my hands from drumming - so long as I'm doing just that - drumming. From doing actual WORK - well, that's a different story.
Winamp Downloaded at 20:30.
Fucking bliss @ 20:46 - Starsailors - "Good Souls" on Winamp!! I haven't heard THAT track in AGES!! LOVE it!! :D Glad I got this thing installed. Oh, and it's gone into Blondie's "Atomic" - genius. Can't complain, can ya?
Right, I'm bored with this idea now. Might come back to it soon. Do I have ADD? I wonder.
