I was writing up this reply on the soundwave forum on my opinion of genre classification with regards to 'indie', but the thread was locked before I had the opportunity to post. I figure I will just paste it here as an entry because I find it pretty interesting and no one reads my blog except me anyway, so who cares.

So I decided on Monday night that I would drive down to Melbourne (well, the most northern suburb of Melbourne with a train station) on Tuesday afternoon to see Emiliana Torrini that night. I would have caught the train down and back, but the last train leaves Southern Cross station to Bendigo at 10:25m while the gig was scheduled to end at 10:45. ( Read more... )

Confessing sins, attending church, saying prayers, etc. are all things that humans who believe in God can do, as well as assume He will listen and take note before they reach the pearly gates to be judged. The rest of God's creatures do not have faith, cannot partake in physical or mental acts of worship, they merely live as God created them. ( Read more... )

I was at this music festival, on this massive dock with buildings on it, although there were no timetables or anything so no one knew where to see bands. Belinda, Elisha, Tenielle, Richard, Cole Purdie (wtf) and I were riding around on bicycles and suddenly we hear this band around the corner behind us. Richard is riding his bike like Robin Thicke ( Read more... )

So one of the threads on the Alice In Chains forum asks which 5 albums changed/expanded your taste in music the most and how. Took a while to figure it out but this is what I ended up with:

I had about 3250 albums on my computer the other day which Windows Media Player cataloged and it was beginning to be a bit too much to sift through whenever I wanted to listen to music. The ol' TOO much decision making makes for less fun thing. So I deleted  just over 2000 albums (have backup of all the stuff on an external hdd) and it has made ( Read more... )

So, Saturday the 12th of April I went to the twins 21st. As usual I didn't get dressed up (as usual it was a dress up party). I was toying with the idea of going as God. Getting myself a little name tag saying 'My name is...' and writing 'God' underneath ala Oz from 4th season Buffy. I wasn't feeling very enthused to begin with, not in a sociable ( Read more... )

Night of snow; a shadowed day,

His tombstone blends into the grey,

Closer now; her sadness grows,

Upon his grave; she leaves a rose,

Left alone; her body falls,

Ghostly sounds; her lover calls,

She looks up; he isn’t there,

A pain she knows she’ll always bear,

Tears don’t mend her broken heart,

Undying love; he did impart,

All that’ ( Read more... )
