So my ridiculous run of April concert-going began this afternoon with the National Youth Week Launch in Birrarung Marr, featuring one band that can be legitimately called 'youth', and two that haven't really been big since I was in high school.

The Australians on my flist should totally not watch Video Hits on April 10 because I was on the barrier ( Read more... )

I went to see The Like (which I always manage to typo as 'LIke') and now I need to read femslash porn all morning, okay? Cool.

( This gig is so retro it's the closest I'll ever get to living in the sixties. )

GUESS WHAT I'M DOING AT LUNCH TIME TOMORROW?

PLAYING BINGO WITH ANDREW W.K.What is life, you guys. Fuck. Should I take shit with me and ask him to sign it? WHAT DO I TAKE WITH ME? I haven't been to a signing-related thing in ages. I should probably get a physical copy of one of his albums or something? This is the downside of getting an ipod ( Read more... )

Missy Higgins, damn.

Okay it's late and I'm incoherent and tired and I have to get up to catch a long-distance bus in the morning but I have to say something because Missy Higgins. Missy's the only really ridiculous celebrity crush I've ever had - I was convinced that I was in love with her when I was fifteen and I first heard 'Scar' on the radio ( Read more... )

And the traditional early NaNo forum crash begins. At least I remembered what time the Cup Day party starts. I just put the pinwheels in the oven so now my fingers smell like pastry.

Here, have a song: Anthem by Tiddas. (And bonus You & Me Running because it has a bit of 'Ging Gang Goolie' in the middle, making it a hell of a nostalgia trip ( Read more... )

So much has been going on in music this week! I've been living vicariously through people in multiple countries seeing MCR and Muse and Black Cards, and there is SO MUCH happening with Mikey and Pete tweeting each other and people like Mikey and Bebe being hot and Chris Wolstenholme on Twitter and Waycest and there is so much happening that it ( Read more... )

My day was such a mixed bag, but I will spare you the crankiness. I've been catching up, if slowly, on all the fic I've missed lately. Recs welcome, etc ( Read more... )

SO THAT WAS AWESOME. I have a headache (too many flashy lights?) but dang, it was good. Won't be going again tonight but I am seriously considering trying to get a hold of some tickets for Powderfinger at the Music Bowl in October. And by that I mean if you hear about anyone with a free ticket, then for the love of all the little fishes TELL ME ( Read more... )

Excited for Powderfinger tonight, but had forgotten how bad the seats I got were. Little brother is not my favourite concert buddy, I want to be on the flooooooor. Any suggestions for making 'watching a stage a million miles away' more fun ( Read more... )

Today at work we had a batch of pastries that were undercooked, so I brought one home and stuck it in the oven for twenty minutes and it was THE BEST THING EVER. I hope they underbake one every day so I can do it all the time. YUM ( Read more... )
