Saw this at my local supermarket. I think they have run out of names for biscuits.
Watchmen the Movie
March 7th, 2009 / No Comments » / by David
Just watched the new Watchmen movie based on the Graphic novel of the same name. I read the graphic novel a couple years back and loved it. I found this movie Awesome! Even though I knew everything that was going to happen it was still so enjoyable. It was a relief that it was so well made given how some of these transitions turn out.
It was funny with heart pumping action and sad. Really sad.
Go see it.

The Streets at Billboard
February 14th, 2009 / No Comments » / by David
The Streets (aka Mike Skinner) was in town last Tuesday (10/02/09) to perform at Billboard the Venue. The support act was originally Muscles however due to the recent fires in Victoria he cancelled his appearance to help out family/friends affected. In his place the support act brought in was Pez, who cracked into the Australian music scene with “The Festival Song”.
I grabbed a great position right near the front, however I had an absolute tall pr**k push in front of all of us near the front. Lets just say that he was not a popular guy with all the punters he was blocking as he was not a short guy and he was wearing a puffy jacket. So I did not feel bad for him when he was pulled up by the bouncers when he lit up a joint.
Back to The Streets. Mike really mixed it up playing songs from all four albums. Given the amount of material available to him many of the songs were mixed into each other. He also spoke to the crowd a lot, quite often refering to the Victorian bushfires and the lives lost.
For me The Streets really delivered. Videos will be up soon.

Currently Listening to…
February 9th, 2009 / No Comments » / by David
There are two albums that I am currently listing to quite frequently.
The first is “Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future” by The Bird And The Bee. I have been listening to their LPs but this is the first full album they have released that I know of. What I love about the duo is the absolutely magical voice of Inara George which is layered all over each of the tracks. Many people would know the duo from their single “Fucking Boyfriend” that was remixed a couple years ago into a dance single. Most recently “Polite Dance Song” has been hitting the airwaves accompanied by a great video clip.
Secondly an album that is just fresh off the press is the new Lily Allen album “It’s Not Me, It’s You” which is the hotly anticipated follow up to her debut “Alright, Still”. I am loving all the songs on this, especially the tracks “Everyone’s At It”, “The Fear”, “22″, “I Could Say” and “Fuck You” which was originally titled “Guess Who Batman” when originally released. As with “Alright, Still”, Lily sings about some depressing subjects but with music and style that sugests otherwise.
There is also a connection with The Bird And The Bee with the new Lily Allen album. Greg Kurstin, the other half of The Bird And The Bee is the producer for most of the songs.
