"white bean curd" b/c a week ago i made the mistake of ordering something slathered in the stuff a week ago ... it was like the preparer had some real bad allergies and sneezed/snotted all over the chicken!

Argh, The Spine is excellent. That's the last time I ever rate an album before hearing it 20 times.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 23 September 2004 05:29 (twenty years ago)

i think it is more likely to get stuck in your head than even the wombles song though

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 23 September 2004 05:38 (twenty years ago)

Haha nice xpost.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 23 September 2004 05:41 (twenty years ago)

hehe ok so obviously everyone realises i meant the playschool song rather than tmbg. although they have a tendency to stick as well.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 23 September 2004 05:44 (twenty years ago)

gem its kind of like the original script, the great founding document of the mongrels...an Ur-text. Its where we came from.

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 23 September 2004 07:58 (twenty years ago)

Its basically where we started to ruin it for everyone else. The beginning of the downward slide for ILx.

Mandee's here, and she's magnifique!

I think jim has a hidden talent as a scriptwriter for Aussie movies.

You know what I'd like? An Aussie tv comedy/drama about a young indie band in Melbourne. The excitement, the drugs, the falling in love... It could be called, 'Tugboat Daze'. I will appear in the orgy scene as the creepy guy from Sydney.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:30 (twenty years ago)

You're interesting.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:31 (twenty years ago)

Can I help write the script for that, Colin?

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:34 (twenty years ago)

You sure can Mandee!!!!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:41 (twenty years ago)

There has to be loads of indie boning in it.

omg how can you be homosexual? you're female

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:42 (twenty years ago)

Indie boning backstage!!

Er, Adam, I want you to know, what happened on that other thread, it didn't mean anything...

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:55 (twenty years ago)

i think everything's directed at me, it's sick.

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:57 (twenty years ago)

thats not necessarily because of you homosexuality though...is it?

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 23 September 2004 21:59 (twenty years ago)

no, its because im an ATTENTION HOG!

― Towelette Pettatucci (Homosexual II), Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:06 (twenty years ago)

you've scared them all off! unbelieveable.

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:11 (twenty years ago)

OK what in the fucking hell. I just checked my bank balance, this is the first normal pay after my yearly pay increase (last pay's had a back-payment so was a tiny bit more). I AM BEING PAID LESS THAN I WAS LAST MONTH BY ABOUT 100 BUCKS WTF.

I am very pissed off and now I am going to work to figure out what the glorious ghandi has happened. If I'm now in a tax bracket that means my "payrise" has actually lost me money I will start throwing chairs at PCs.

I wanted to buy a new PC today and I cant afford to. Theres other reasons, but they involve a certain someone who has not been paying me any rent or bills or paid me back for the shoes I bought him or last weeks grocieres and if I think about this anymore I will cry.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:14 (twenty years ago)

Why is erotic fiction always so perfect? Why not:

Dave teased Elijah's hardening cock. Elijah came instantly, said 'you're crap Dave,' and went for a number twos.

hahaha

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:55 (twenty years ago)

Dave wiped the smelly man juice from his eyebrow with his sleeve and picked his nose. I wonder where fucking Col has got to with the pizza he thought.

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago)

Col toyed with the shaft, gradually working his fingers toward the tip. Suddenly he felt a soft prick, and liquid began to flow. 'Oh good, you found my new pencil,' said Gaz. Col went downstairs for a Band-Aid.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 23 September 2004 23:00 (twenty years ago)

haha its like the carry on thread!

Fuckers.

Mikey - nah the plan was, he couldnt do it cos he'd already bought something this year, so I would do it, he'd pay me back the lot in cash up front, then it would come out of my pay. Suited me fine, but they rejected it anyway. Hahah. Oh well.

Not sure, under $30 tho I think. And he does requests. Brett said the last show was great, he did a lot of RHP songs.

I mean I'd like to go but at the same time, I'm not desperate you know?

Also, I totally cant recall where he was playing this time.

haha, Adam, have you heard "Mein Teil" by Rammstein? It's a song ABOUT that German bloke! The chorus goes: "You are what you eat. And you're eating MY DICK!". Except auf Deutsch.

YOU'RE EATING MY DICK! GENIUS!

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 27 September 2004 02:09 (twenty years ago)

hahaha!

Although funnily enough (I saw the doco too, not that I was in control of the remote ahem hem) they couldn't eat the dick as the "meat" was "too tough", and then the cannibal bloke burned it when he attempted to fry it!

― Hayden (Pow, Pow, Pow) (haitch), Monday, 27 September 2004 02:19 (twenty years ago)

Well, thats a'cause it isnt meat, innit. Its all skin.

Erm. I don't feel well all of a sudden.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 27 September 2004 02:24 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, so they had frazzled franger. Meanwhile wossname was upstairs bleeding in the bath, and the cannibal bloke went back down and read a Star Trek novel. A STAR TREK novel. I mean, eating crispy cock is one thing, but Star Trek books? Sick bastard should be locked up for life.

Some sort of marinade may have helped soften then meat too. Something creamy.

ie, its stronger that way. And theres something very calming about the morning ritual of cleaning the 'spresso machine, filling it with water and grinds, screwing the top back on, and then popping it on the stove.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 27 September 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago)

its very simple trayce. you put the coffee in the little filter thing inside the black handle at front top. you put the water in the hole after you have unscrewed the knob on the back. you put it on the stove (with the little bowl to catch the coffee which is not shown)

Instant? I dont think so, never seen any. Illy and Lavazza are wayyy to pricey. There are other italian brands-inna-brick just as good, like Motta and Coffex. Though buying a specially-blended fresh grind from Coffee House (or wtf that place is called) is the best mmmm. And cheaper.

I expected so

The first atomic was launched in 1956

As Italians are not a big milk drinking race as none of their milk was pasteurised or homogenised so they had to steam/boil it to be able to drink it, they preferred the coffee(smart hey, I wish the rest of the world would follow)

steam wands were attached to the machine late 50's-early 60's
the one that you linked above is a rarer one as it is an early one

I have one 6 cup Vev Vigano stainless steel, which has a 3-cup divider insert in the basket (apparently this is now kinda rare), which I use every day so its all blackened. I have a 1-cup and a 3 cup aluminium jobbie (those ones arent so good they make the coffee taste funny), and I have a cute little 1-cup red painted machine with a spout instead of a pot; you put the espresso cup on the ledge and the coffee trickes into it, I love that one. But it got ruined by a stoner flatmate who left it on the flame and it caught fire *grumble*.

Some people should be....in international court for unspeakable crimes against coffee..

I guess that is why people say it is undrinkable..
Gaz ... your machine is off
There are two places in sydney
Cafe Biancci in Leichardt market place
the other is at the top of oxford street in paddington
called Bon trading company
they stock spares for you atomic
e.g rubbers and screens

for cleaning it there is a special espresso cleaning detergent that you can find at cafe biancci, i would soak the metal part of the handle in a small bucket of boiling hot water and 2 tblspoons of the cleaning detergent.

i would also get a toothbrush and scrub the grp head..

a thought ..
go to you local cafe and ask them if you can buy 100 g of their espresso machine cleaner

if your machine is that old the rubbers are gone
you will not get the right pressure in the extraction to gain a good
coffee..

― espresso fetish (espresso fetish), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:37 (twenty years ago)

that dirtyness that covers the inside does not add flavour
it is rancid oil lipids!
Ever wondered why coffee tastes bitter

well roasters don't make bitter blends, but cafes and people do not clean their equipment grinder/machine enought

dirty equipment = rancid/off bitter coffee

― espresso fetish (espresso fetish), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:41 (twenty years ago)

These are great Vev Vigano make some great designs

buy beans and grind them before you brew.

BTW
Some of the brick packs you mentioned before.......

KEEP AWAY!
As you said .....buy fresh !

― espresso fetish (espresso fetish), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:47 (twenty years ago)

I have a grinder too! I confess, I rarely use it tho, as my morning grumpiness doth not lend itself to the horrible loud CHHHZSSHHSHHS of the darn machine.

espresso speaks the truth about cleaning these machines too: indeed, bitterness is caused by not cleaning them out. Admittedly tho, I thought gaz meant he had only not cleaned the water tank? I mean that you could probably get away with... but the basket/rubbers/pot? MUST BE CLEANED! I go thru a rubber seal abt every ahh... six-12 months maybe? And I use my pot daily.

I know brick coffee isnt the best but hey, at least I dont drink Vittoria *shudder* that stuff is as much satans wee as instant is :/

Blood is of course chosen by the frozen of heart as the true warming drink. Without it one is growing weak. But after glass of blood, is one so to speak feeling hale and hearty, with warmth, almost like ordinary being.

It not have koodies that harm our kind, as we are of course immortal. Yet often I find I leave ring of blood around mouth, like a variety of blood moustache, hihi! My girlfriend Annika, she is prone to say, 'You have blood moustache, mister, like child with milk!' Then she pass out briefly.

'Er indoors said the whole thing is being handled really well, i.e. the coming-out girl is getting positive reactions from the characters she comes out to.

i wonder what the prevalence of AIDS in the aussie gay community actually is? i.e. in real life not in the warped minds of scary fundamentalists. would it be similar to the injecting drug users? interestingly i was talking to a chap who is a prison counsellor on the weekend and he told me that of the 350 odd prisoners he has had interviews with this year, only one has been HIV positive. that says good stuff for aussie harm prevention i think. although sadly hep c is rife.

Yeah, hep C seems to be more of a danger atm.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:56 (twenty years ago)

i think it is ongoing, i was counselling in 2002 and it was pretty much in epidemic proportions in the IV using community in perth even then. much more easily transmissible than HIV though.

one thing that annoys me on those soapies is the characters who've been around for ages (i.e. since childhood) always getting married so young. which i suppose is just because they run out of storylines after they leave school and get a job in the diner/coffeeshop. it is awfully conservative though! normal people merely shack up don't they!

Yesterday I had to go and do a Personal Assistant course which I got signed up for, and the woman running the course came in and slagged off the colour of the offices, before offering hints on redecorating! It was wacky.

I'm listening to that Miles Davis Complete Jack Johnson Sessions. It rules.

― Hayden (Pow, Pow, Pow) (haitch), Thursday, 30 September 2004 00:22 (twenty years ago)

maybe that's an essential component of a personal assistant course. i did an office admin course at tafe a few years ago and the lady went on and on and on about what sort of magazines should be kept/made available in reception.

a HUGE fucking branch came down in our garden. HUGE. woulda killed someone. no damage i can see. it fell inches from the verandah. its stormy wet here.

and we had to have the drains unblocked. fucking plumber's bill.

haha andrew what ARE you doing?

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 1 October 2004 08:17 (twenty years ago)

and we had to have the drains unblocked. fucking plumber's bill.

i've been procrastinating on doing this. it's only one sink but it's a drag nonetheless...

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Friday, 1 October 2004 08:23 (twenty years ago)

it was only $130 i guess. not that i have $130. it was the kitchen sink. i took it apart, stuck a huge long thing down it (not my own, i don't have one - the neighbours!) and no joy. at least it wasn't tree roots in there.

on more important topics...its only a DRUMMER jim! ;)

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 1 October 2004 08:27 (twenty years ago)

i have the fear!

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 3 October 2004 07:29 (twenty years ago)

Fear not, gaz, for this is not a tall order by any means. Just remember what was achieved with M-Squared; and consider jim's wide musical knowledge and innate sense of taste. It could work.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 3 October 2004 07:31 (twenty years ago)

it is not jim i am worried about!

Me! Not. Well. I have a drum machine, and I kind of know how to use it, and I play with FruityLoops sometimes.

I did the drum pattern for "Take 5" by Northside once. Dont ask. No really, dont. Its embarrasing.

Hullo fackers. Should I have this Futurama/Simpsons mazzathon this weekend seeing as it is also Nick's birthday? Could be a good excuse fer a double party, if people is free.

colin will you make beats for me?

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:49 (twenty years ago)

jim, I would imagine the trick to indie programming is simplicity and not too much quantisation (x-post)

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:50 (twenty years ago)

it's true. that, and copying other people's rhythms

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:51 (twenty years ago)

indie programmed beats = 808 doing the "Be My Baby" intro for three minutes.

― Hayden (Pow, Pow, Pow) (haitch), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:56 (twenty years ago)

I'd be delighted to, but how can we coordinate, me being in Syd and all?

My intuition on this is, you have the aesthetic to achieve this yourself. After all you understand the aesthetic and you know what you want. The rest is technicalities.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:58 (twenty years ago)

true. i just need more patience with beats. i tend to be very impatient when it comes to the rhythm side of things.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Monday, 4 October 2004 00:04 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I just found it. Phew.

― Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 4 October 2004 00:12 (twenty years ago)

jim, set up a simple rhythm and leave it - or have one drum fill that you use over and over. Being impatient with rhythm, making things too simple cos you can't be arsed = exactly the indie aesthetic, so how can you lose? It's in you!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 4 October 2004 00:18 (twenty years ago)

Good eye deer.

I'm considering buying a kbd of some sort so I can tool about with Fruity/Cubase/some other tracker myself, it would be much easier to write stuff if I had a half decent weighted-key yamaha midi device or something. Ive no idea on whats what with those kind of keys, I could just wander into Manny's or somewhere and ask I spose.

Ive probably forgotten everything about playing keys anyhow.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 23:32 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, you have to really make yourself get up early. I've fallen into a pattern of getting up at 8, which sucks because normally I'm up around 6:30-7 for the gym. Which, incidentally, I don't have the energy for atm because I've had mentalist foot pain for weeks.

done and done. i mean, 'z' recorded the whole thing and helped produce too so his name will be all over it.

yeah but obv that means he's gonna have to remix the album with someone who thinks his work on the original mix is not good.

yes and no. the original mixes are fine, but the label guy has a very different aesthetic. basically what i think will happen is that it will be made to sound more like our first record. dirtier, more heavily reverbed.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 7 October 2004 02:14 (twenty years ago)

Complete honesty with all concerned all the way jim - esp as regards your honest appreciation of the original mixes - and any tension will be instantly defused. This is how records are made, compromises all the way with numerous people. Everyone's ego gets a bit of a buffeting. That's art. Everyone sees fit to give (conflicting) opinions about the quality of your music, jim, so why should you protect the mix engineer? If you like what s/he did, say so - but also point out you want the record released with the label so you are prepared to compromise in the interests of moving things along, and see what the result is.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 7 October 2004 02:21 (twenty years ago)

It's normal and desireabl;e for someone other than the producer to mix a record btw.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 7 October 2004 02:21 (twenty years ago)

(what do you think is the best sound for the record jim...? the orig mix?)

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 7 October 2004 03:32 (twenty years ago)

i suspect that i will probably prefer the later mix, but that's because i feel the record is too clean and dry as it is.

Inspection was fine! The new property manager is this ditzy blonde thing who talked 100 miles an hour, I mean I cleaned the place up good but you know, I'm no neat freak. So I pointed out the bathroom mould like its not my fault - cos like, it isn't, we have no exhaust fan - and made jokes about the grindy monster pipe noises... and it were all good.

Then I went to the shops and got food, and I made some roasted capsicum and grilled eggplant... and then watched telly.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 8 October 2004 12:07 (twenty years ago)

Right. I voted. House of Reps: Democrats, Labor, Greens, Citizens Electoral Council, Liberal. I know someone running for the CEC in Melbourne, so I felt that even if they are weird, at least they're not the Liberals.

Senate: Numbered all 13 boxes. This is probably a trying task if you don't live in one of the Territories. This went: Democrats 1 and 2, then Labor's first candidate at 3, then Greens 4 and 5, Australian Progressive Alliance 6 and 7, Labor's second candidate at 8, an Independant at 9, the Liberals at 10 and 11, and the Fred Nile group 12 and 13.

And I said to the woman handing out Lib HTV cards: "I can fill out my OWN preferences unlike your drones.". She clearly had no idea that I was making a comment about how stupid HTV cards are and replied "Good on you!" enthusiastically.

You know, I'm actually a bit sick of the reaction of all my friends over this. Oh my, the Liberals won? YOU DIDNT SEE THAT COMING? Seriously, some of my friends have lefty rose tinted specs, they really do.

My mother told me she was most pleased the libs won. I wish I had enough knowlegde to be able to sit her and dad down, and ask them WHY they honestly thought a lib vote was the right thing to do; not just "because we believe hard work should be rewarded by wealth" and "I'm not a socialist" (yes, my mother said that when I mentioned redistribution of wealth away from wealthy private schools! And she sent me to one of the shittiest state schools in NSW! The nerve). I really want to point out the things I think they missed - the fact interest rates are NOT CONTROLLED BY THE GOVT, the deceptions over immigration/refugees, the war, employment, Telstra.

But I dont think I could, and she really wouldnt care. She said something like "you're like your father, you always stick your heels in and want to tell the other person they're wrong" (I dont bother actually, but she had a point). Well, mum, thats fine - but whats the alternative, you keep on voting Liberal, no matter what they do? Fine, come and tell me you still feel that way when its all Orwellian on our asses.

Despite that which I just ranted I'm seriously over politics, and VERY sick of hearing people throw hissys and say "I'm moving to Canada/NZ/etc". Fuck off to Canada then, you dont deserve to stay in a country you wont fight for (morally, not literally)/believe in.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 10 October 2004 21:48 (twenty years ago)

Labour did a pathetic job, mind you.

And when you look at someone like Garrett and how much he was ready to compromise his long standing ideals "because thats the party line", THEN you begin to understand how politics works. And know you really cant beat it. Not fully.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 10 October 2004 21:49 (twenty years ago)

Main problems with Labor's campaign:

1. The ridiculous 'Australians are ready' ads. People saw those and thought, 'hmm, there must be some doubt then,' and voted Nazi.

2. Latham has a sardonic attitude, but he and the party suppressed it. The party decided to be NICE all through the campaign, and obv it didn't work.

Now, we just sit back and wait for Howard to ban the following:

- being gay
- breathing
- peace
- the ABC
- hospitals
- education
- living in the '60s or later
- not loving Bush with a disturbing passion

― Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 10 October 2004 21:56 (twenty years ago)

you keep on voting Liberal, no matter what they do?

My parents are exactly the same. They've always voted Liberal and they always will. When I hit 18 my dad told me he'd kick me out of the house if I voted Labor, and I think he meant it.

A few weeks ago I made a comment about the Coalition's 'Latham was shit in Liverpool' campaign being pointless because Latham would have a treasurer to do all that anyway, and my mother hit me with the biggest death stare I've ever seen. I mean, fucking hell.

― Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 10 October 2004 22:00 (twenty years ago)

For the record, I voted Liberal [state and national] about 10 years ago. Then I didn't vote for a while because things seemed okay and I didn't feel informed enough.

― Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 10 October 2004 22:07 (twenty years ago)

i kind of sympathise with the "don't wanna be here" bunch - theres a sense of fatigue and frustration that i think you actually sum up Trayce...you talk of fighting but you can't get up the steam to argue with your mum (not criticizing...i feel exactly the same)

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 10 October 2004 22:11 (twenty years ago)

Yep. I don't want the Coalition in, but I'm stuck with them. I'm not happy living in this country anymore because of that, and voting makes fuck-all difference, so I can understand why some people want to get out.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Sunday, 10 October 2004 23:23 (twenty years ago)

yeah i don't blame you, i've pretty much committed to renting for good and investing the difference in stuff other than property, i don't reckon there's a big difference in $$ terms in the end. i like living near the city and the beach and i could never buy a place in that location.

We have to evaluate our own performance in this joke of a subject. This is my formal submission [G-proofed obv]:

A) What problems did you encounter during the development of Stage 2?

1. P4SE's inability to count SL0C accurately
2. P4SE's inability to count SL0C consistently
3. Eiff3l being an unnecessarily esoteric language
4. Eiff3l's 'APIs' not really being APIs at all
5. Insufficient code resources for the Eiff3l language
6. Eiff3lStudi0 not accepting a set of code that worked on another machine
7. Eiff3lStudi0 sporadically compiling with errors
8. Utterly ridiculous amount of work required within time provided

B) What improvements to your process could you make to overcome these problems?
List some improvement proposals. Suggest one or more for each problem.

1. Count SL0C manually [requires extra time]
2. Count SL0C manually [requires extra time]
3. Never code in Eiff3l ever again
4. Never code in Eiff3l ever again
5. Never code in Eiff3l ever again
6. Never use Eiff3lStudi0 ever again
7. Never use Eiff3lStudi0 ever again

Having said that, there was a very interesting letter in t'Age which gave me some hope. I shall paste it here (sorry Age).

"Always look on the bright side of life

The ALP should not be too distressed with the election result. Just over 10 months ago, internal ALP polling had shown the powerbrokers that under Simon Crean the party was facing a probable wipe-out, with a predicted loss of at least 20 seats.

In a bold move they changed leaders, crossed their fingers, and chose an untested and youthful Mark Latham. As the time span to the election was short, the clear strategy was to minimise the electoral damage, so as to provide a stronger platform for a tilt at the 2007 poll.

In the subsequent months, Latham's zest and enthusiasm, and his innovative policies, halted the slide in support and began to capture back those supporters who had drifted away from Labor. It was clearly apparent that he put the wind right up John Howard and his Government.

On Saturday night's results, it just wasn't enough. But the strategy has worked. Mark Latham has grown in stature and maturity in the lead-up to and during the election campaign. The public now has a better view of him, but it's not yet his time.

It should not be forgotten that never has a government been defeated which has presided over a strong economy, with low interest rates, low inflation and lowish unemployment.

But from here on in the political scenario will be very interesting. Economic conditions will change because of high oil prices and this, along with a large spending program by the Government, will lead to higher inflation and subsequent rises in interest rates.

Peter Costello will not sit back quietly and see his chance of becoming PM slip through his fingers. And Mark Latham's standing with voters will continue to grow, and he will take the challenge right up to the Government, refusing to let the PM off the hook on any issue.

Rather than being a stable government, the next term could be quite unstable - and we may go to the polls again much earlier than we thought.

No, Labor should not be too disappointed at all.
Chris Osborne, Pelican Flat, NSW"

xpost - i don't get to avoid that stuff though, i have to read it. i am currently cataloguing coalition election promises so that we can put pressure on them to honour them (errr hopefully) at a later date. i still cannot believe that people could vote coalition in all conscience. i can only conclude that the fact that the nation is crippled by personal debt led people to capitulate to propaganda about interest rates.

Sadly I can - it is called being fed shit by the media. The media which is slowly being swallowed up, American style, to be used as a tool of the government.

Incidentally, I'd say the most disturbing aspect of the likely Family First senate win in Victoria is that almost no-one knew they were voting for him. He got 1.9% of the primary vote, compared to almost 9% for the Greens candidate he's likely to displace. Almost every other party stitched up a dodgy preference-swap with the creepy newcomers in various ill-fated attempts to bolster their own chances, despite sharing little ideological common ground. Apparently more than one Labor person at booths was erroneously reassuring people that a vote 'above the line' would send preferences to the Greens ahead of FF. Meanwhile Natasha Stott-Despoja was advising Democrat votes to fill in all 65 senate preferences manually to avoid preferencing FF. Not that many people have time for that.

Erm, guess I'm not over the election then.

They were hopeless at my polling station. They opened the doors at about 8:15 [after a bloke went up and started thumping and they yelled 'wrong door!', and they still hadn't opened anyway], and the ALP and Greens reps were late too, so I didn't even get a Greens pamphlet.

― bulbs (bulbs), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 02:23 (twenty years ago)

Hi Jeremy! The heat is intense and many insects have descended on Sydney.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 02:25 (twenty years ago)

Los Angeles is ... hot and dull, like ever.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 02:26 (twenty years ago)

what have you been up to lately?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 02:27 (twenty years ago)

mmm... had to finish two screenplays for monday. relaxing now, cooking dinner and watching the red-sox / yankees game.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 02:32 (twenty years ago)

You write screenplays?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 02:45 (twenty years ago)

these clapsticks are fucking with my head. and the flies are very authentically recorded col.

You Sydney bastards, what sort of weather do you call this? Oy vey it is hot. Lucky I'm indoors most today. It has been so slack! Apart from the 5am wakeujp to get to the airport, the day has consisted of saying hi to all the people I work with, showing the guys a few simple things, and going to the pub just now. Now thats what I call work.

I still think this is a strange, gritty city.

― Trayceabsent, Wednesday, 13 October 2004 03:05 (twenty years ago)

fucking glad i am not in said city

― bulbs (bulbs), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 03:11 (twenty years ago)

The roads are all weird and broken and old and narrow and the taxi drivers are menko, and your cider tastes funny. And I forgot about midis and schooners haha. I've lived in Melb too long.

― Trayceabsent, Wednesday, 13 October 2004 03:14 (twenty years ago)

if you see a sign on a bit of butchers paper that says "haircuts $5" and points down a dark narrow alley don't go there.

― bulbs (bulbs), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 03:18 (twenty years ago)

No haircut that costs $5 can lead to good things.

― Haaaaaitch (haitch), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 04:16 (twenty years ago)

haha they wanted to mug cheapskates?

― bulbs (bulbs), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 04:17 (twenty years ago)

I'm thinking it's probably a front for one of those black market organ-trafficking operations. One moment you're laying back waiting for the shampooing to commence, next thing you know you wake up in an icy bath with no kidneys.

― Haaaaaitch (haitch), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 04:51 (twenty years ago)

A NICE-LOOKING FRINGE, BUT AT WHAT REAL COST??

― Haaaaaitch (haitch), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 04:53 (twenty years ago)

You write screenplays?

I'm working on my graduate degree in screenwriting, so equally 'yes' I write them and 'no' I don't really write them.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 04:56 (twenty years ago)

ah!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 05:11 (twenty years ago)

Off into the blazing heat I go. See ya.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 05:46 (twenty years ago)

i predict Trayce will get silly drunk and fall in love with the harbour.

or maybe fall in the harbour.

― bulbs (bulbs), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 08:18 (twenty years ago)

I predict she will punch out a bouncer.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 08:26 (twenty years ago)

i predict there will be photos of her in all of next weeks street press

― bulbs (bulbs), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 08:35 (twenty years ago)

punching out a bouncer

― bulbs (bulbs), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 08:36 (twenty years ago)

which will result in the banning of all goth clubs in the CBD

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:23 (twenty years ago)

d) none of the above. I was so fucking tired that all I did was catch up with my friend Liv, have dinner and crash back on the couch, I wasnt even up for a drink!

Slept early and everything. Ugh.

I miss Nick :(

― Traaaaayce!!!, Thursday, 14 October 2004 00:57 (twenty years ago)

the rob roy is stopping live music.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:43 (twenty years ago)

live music in general and everywhere?

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:44 (twenty years ago)

yes.

or to put it another way, no.

but still, it's far and away melbourne's best band venue so i'm kinda cut about it at the mo

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:53 (twenty years ago)

sorry, i understood your point. is it a suburban (i.e. in residential area) pub? why are they stopping live music?

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:55 (twenty years ago)

not really.. it's sort of a residential area and sort of not. i know that there were noise issues though. the ownership has changed hands and they've decided to turf the music. god only knows what they think they'll do with it, there's just no way it'll make any money for anybody other than as a band or pokie venue.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:58 (twenty years ago)

hmmmm. sad. i'm always glad we don't have pokies in WA, i've always been convinced it is one of the things underpinning our fairly healthy live music scene.

maybe they'll bring it back if the pub's takings start sliding? isn't it famous for live bands, surely most of the clientele is going there for that reason...

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 14 October 2004 02:02 (twenty years ago)

Melb live pubs seem to be having probs at the moment, or is my impression wrong? We keep getting conflicting info from the bookers there.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 14 October 2004 03:20 (twenty years ago)

which pub are you talking about? most are ok at the moment but a lot of places have a revolving cast of band bookers..

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 14 October 2004 03:25 (twenty years ago)

Ah, maybe that's been the problem. We've been getting a lot of yes-no-yes-no action from the bookers there.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 14 October 2004 03:30 (twenty years ago)

yes yes but which venues?

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 14 October 2004 03:32 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm need to remember. I might have to check with Rach on that one, she does all that. We had 5 or 6 gigs confirmed for Oct in Melb, and one by one they all fell through.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 14 October 2004 03:38 (twenty years ago)

cunce!

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 14 October 2004 03:39 (twenty years ago)

But I won't name places unless I'm sure which ones they were, that wouldn't be nice. But yes - cunce!

You know what yanks my chain? It's a struggle in any part of Aust to get our thing going, cos we always seem to get a lot of attitude. But while all this is going on, we send something to various people overseas and they're usually back to us within a week going great, let's do something! The more succesful they are, the less attitude we get. It makes me a little tetchy.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 14 October 2004 03:56 (twenty years ago)

You know it only takes one... ONE person to make a complaint to the council about noise, and a venue has to stop having live acts unless they already had some kind of council approval etc.

There was a fantastic coffeehouse in st kilda that did standup comedy, which was literally just a guy in the doorway, not even miced up. It cant have made a scrap of noise, the people having coffe wouldve made more.

So someone - someone who, mind you, had not even moved into the nearby house they were renovating yet - complained, and the cafe got told to stop, because their licence said no live acts.

Its getting silly. These cashed up bastards move in and demand all the scum and noise go away, even though if you think about it, its these people who made their exciting trendy suburb cool in the first place. GAH.

But people are fools and feebs, Trayce.

Hi Ned!

I just watched the _best_ Nova of all time.

Descent into the IceA team of "glacionauts" ventures into a labyrinth of unexplored and hazardous glacier caves on France's Mt. Blanc.

It's available on DVD for $20.00. Do I really want it? Yes. Will I watch it enough to mandate $20.00 of purchase? Doubtful.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 14 October 2004 04:07 (twenty years ago)

hmm, so is it time to finally let this thread concept go? or is it just the immense length of this thread scaring away the casual visitors

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 14 October 2004 22:41 (twenty years ago)

start new thread surface noise
