I think from now on we should just pretend any New Zealanders on this thread are Australian. That's what we did with Crowded House after all.

Like we even get New Zealanders anymore. estela has been living in Aus so long that she gets a free pass anyway.

we certainly won't attract any with that sort of attitude!

i was in nz just last week, which was why i didn't go to see headman/vitalic etc (to answer a question from the last thread). i did see kraftwerk in auckland though and that was choice, bro.

So who's comin to see Adrian Belew on Weds? Should be a tops gig. Apparently he crowd surfed last time he was here. I should think he might be gettin' on a bit to be doing that these days but who knows.

― Trayce, Monday, 1 December 2008 00:08 (seventeen years ago)

He is here??? This Wed???

― ɔɐuɐɯlV uɯnʇnV (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 December 2008 00:09 (seventeen years ago)

it's at teh corner, i believe.

― fela cooties (haitch), Monday, 1 December 2008 00:12 (seventeen years ago)

tbh while i love to hear him blazing away on other peoples' records (talking heads, 'lodger') i couldn't say i know enough of his solo work to make it worthwhile.

― fela cooties (haitch), Monday, 1 December 2008 00:14 (seventeen years ago)

hired gun vs lone rhinosceros

― moley, Monday, 1 December 2008 00:16 (seventeen years ago)

rhinoceros

― moley, Monday, 1 December 2008 00:17 (seventeen years ago)

at least it looks reasonably priced - see the david byrne ticket prices?? that's a gig i won't be attending.

― fela cooties (haitch), Monday, 1 December 2008 00:20 (seventeen years ago)

Man! I can't not go to this.

― ɔɐuɐɯlV uɯnʇnV (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 December 2008 00:20 (seventeen years ago)

― thereminimum chips (electricsound), Monday, 1 December 2008 00:20 (seventeen years ago)

I always mix up Elephant Talk with Lone Rhinosceros

Rhinoceros

― moley, Monday, 1 December 2008 00:22 (seventeen years ago)

How much is Byrne? I'd like to see him but not if its $80 or something ridic.

Belew apparently does Crimson songs with the Power Trio which should be awes. I've seen live footage of them doing Elephant Talk as this incarnation. he still got it.

― Trayce, Monday, 1 December 2008 00:28 (seventeen years ago)

PS some of his solo work is complete shit.

― Trayce, Monday, 1 December 2008 00:28 (seventeen years ago)

Most is tops though.

― ɔɐuɐɯlV uɯnʇnV (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 December 2008 00:30 (seventeen years ago)

I'd love it if he did some Zappa era stuff like "Tiny Lights", that would ROCK.

― Trayce, Monday, 1 December 2008 00:32 (seventeen years ago)

byrne - at the arts centre, which i'm sure has a bearing, and toting 10-piece band + dancers - is being presold at the mo for $127.

― fela cooties (haitch), Monday, 1 December 2008 00:33 (seventeen years ago)

Holy crapknuckle! Well I guess I'm not going, then.

― Trayce, Monday, 1 December 2008 01:49 (seventeen years ago)

How much is Belew?

― ɔɐuɐɯlV uɯnʇnV (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 December 2008 01:49 (seventeen years ago)

about $40

― fela cooties (haitch), Monday, 1 December 2008 02:30 (seventeen years ago)

That's belew what I expected.

― moley, Monday, 1 December 2008 02:36 (seventeen years ago)

Hawhaw!

Yeah we got our tix ages ago, i dont think its sold out or nowt tho.

― Trayce, Monday, 1 December 2008 02:37 (seventeen years ago)

i always thought you guys talked shit about the rest of us that never open these threads, not each other. this is an eye opener. i feel different.

― jergins, Monday, 1 December 2008 02:39 (seventeen years ago)

Welcome jergins! You know, we haven't had a guest from overseas in our thread for some time. Ned used to come here, but I think our failure to deliver the long promised koala tacos wore thin with him.

― moley, Monday, 1 December 2008 02:57 (seventeen years ago)

We really need a Ned Raggett Chair for Honourary Mongrelship. Perhaps one of us can endow such a chair upon dying of boredom.

― moley, Monday, 1 December 2008 02:58 (seventeen years ago)

I am close to that.

Shouldve made the title Mong Hot Fuxor but that's probably a stretch.

So anyway, yesterday we found out one of Rob's mates who he jams with sometimes (who had disappeared for a couple weeks and everyone'd noticed and worried) had a manic episode and ended up in a psych hospital (after being maced trying to escape a cop and doctor trying to talk sense into him). He's like, the calmest, quietest person I've ever met, its pretty wtf, although we knew he had issues in this er... arena.

Yeah, I've no interest in the support act either.

I don't think you can block numbers in Aus. I made inquiries a few years ago when some mad woman kept hassling me to babysit her kids.

'idiot' is a pretty weak term of abuse tbh. Sounds like a kid.

so then i went back to work but the office canteen had closed, so i went across the road and got a sweet chilli chicken sandwich. the woman said the bread was a bit dry and i said it didn't matter. i'm eating it now and the bread....is a bit....dry.

Hi dere mongettes and mongs! I got one (1) digital stage piano delivered to my work and now I have no fucking idea how to get it home as I wasn't expecting it to be an almost 2m long box that's a bit too heavy for one person to carry.

This looks like a freakin decent bit of kit for an M-Audio device I must say. It even comes with two pedals - and they're decent metal ones, not boxy plastic ones! You can has one sustain and one sustenato, and I already gots an expression pedal to go with it all.

No doubt there's an element of sensationalism but the work practice seems very much on-par for Austereo (and if vaguely true, would be the fourth show he's been boned on in as many years - and the third time he's gone from a tech role to major on-air and writing figure*, and then been sacked or downgraded)

To my chagrin, CDs have graudally lost their gift value over the last five years. T-shirts still have value, as does vinyl. But I am just not confident about giving CDs any more.

― moley, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 01:39 (seventeen years ago)

I vote for wine or foodstuffs as the surer thing.

― moley, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 01:40 (seventeen years ago)

Or candles or lanterns.

My advie is, hang on to those CDs. Remember how we got rid of all our vinyl and then regretted it some 20 years later? I mean, if Tretchikoff prints can become valuable again...

― moley, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 01:56 (seventeen years ago)

I remember joking about vinyl 12"'s someday becoming extremely valuable. It was a joke because we knew they wouldn't, cos they were so disposable. Now Simon Reynolds is disinterring all that old disposable stuff, and people are falling over themselves to bid for obscure 2 Bad Mice 12"'s... So yeah, maybe the same thing will happen to the more obscure CDs in your collection.

Perhaps they will be vauable too, if they are no longer being produced.

― moley, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 02:07 (seventeen years ago)

Ah right, original jewel cases, I see what you mean. Like they have to have come with the CD way back when - no substitutions allowed. Got ya.

― moley, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 02:08 (seventeen years ago)

Brilliant idea calling them 'jewel cases' wasn't it? 'Transparent shitbox' would've been more accurate.

― moley, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 02:09 (seventeen years ago)

You know what would make a good ILM poll, if I knew how to do that? The topic 'Will CDs be valuable in 2040?' and a set of poll options preciting the price of the avergae vintage CD. then set the poll closing date for 1 January 2040.

― moley, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 02:11 (seventeen years ago)

xp haha.

xxp Yeah, because Sony would use one jewel case, EMI another, etc etc, and the jewel cases would even vary between regions and batches. Surely someone somewhere is mega-OCD about that stuff.

― sonderangerbots and loops (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 23 December 2008 02:11 (seventeen years ago)

I can make the poll if you like.

Oh yes please Adam, cheers. I wonder if we'll be around to see the result? COuld be quite amusing. I think there's plenty of potential in the long-distance timebomb poll genre.

― moley, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 02:17 (seventeen years ago)

Give me some price ranges and it's done.

― sonderangerbots and loops (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 23 December 2008 02:18 (seventeen years ago)

How about less than €5 for the first one - then maybe €10, €20.... to more than €50. You could say, to get a rise of out the Americans, that you'd also considered doing the pricing in Yen or rupees, but obviously not in American dollars as the currency will be either valueless or non-standard shortly...

albums: quiet village (probably fave of the year if i had to pick one), lindstrom, cut copy, syclops, hercules + love affair, the mole. trayce otm about that portishead, i listened to it and thought "that israeli good!" and then never really went back to it.

I finally bought the Presets a few weeks ago, still haven't listened yet. but have played their l!ve at t3h w1r3l355 a few times over the year. it is possible the Cut Copy is the only 2008 mong-album I have actually heard all the way through! didn't know about the Liberation Blue 'Reelsville' until recently though, if that came late enough in '07 to squeeze in.

― choom gang of four (sic), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 03:55 (seventeen years ago)

in terms of local rock/indiepop, this was an absolutely rubbish year. i looked at the m&n critics poll and pretty much dislike or have no interest in all of it (although i would lend the grand salvo an ear). it's maybe a bit sad that my fave local rock record of the year is one i recorded.

Happy NY mongs.

We played at a hippie festival called Pe@ts Ridge. Highlights:

1. This lyric overheard coming from a female singer/songwriter in the chai tent):

With your guitar I can't believe how much you've grown
It's no wonder you were raised in the mountains

2. Not personally witnessed, but I was informed that at 5am, two hours after the drum circle hippies had finally retired to bed, a pissed off drunk person broke into their camp and screamed, 'Alright you cunce! It's drum clinic time!!' and started banging away on their drums as hard as he could, while shrieking an imitation cowbell drum pattern at the top of his voice: 'beep-beep-bop-beep-beep-beep-a-bop!!'

3. Rachael spotting a dreadlocked hippy who had broken into our camp and was attempting to steal our beer and screaming at him, 'F*** you hippy! We came here to entertain you! Show some f***ing respect!!!'

4. A teepee burned down with a series of cracking sounds like gunshots! A father, mother and child had fallen asleep with a candle on. No-one was hurt.

5. Day three, swimming in the river, and realising that it smelled of urine.

You know, I was just listening to Fat Les's 'Vindaloo' and it occurred to me that, if you look at the song from a certain angle, which might be called the fondly British psychedelic angle, this is the sort of thing the Beatles might've written at their silliest.

I kind of had sympathy and was rooting for the squatters but then yesterday I read that one of them had actually come down here from ballarat, had college accomodations, but left them willingly "for personal reasons". Sorry, that ain't hardship lady.

It is a joke that you can no longer get full Austudy unless 25 or having worked independantly beforehand (and who's done that right out of high school?) but I'm leery of the idea that some people are crying "no accomodation I'm homeless!" when they're going to Melb Uni and their parents live in like, Sunshine or something. Get the bus, dudes. Live at home for a while. It wont kill you.

(NB: I support the call for cheap accoms and more austudy)

― Trayce, Wednesday, 14 January 2009 23:26 (seventeen years ago)

the squat is just up the road from work. a few of us got a guided tour one day, they'd fixed it up quite well

― GERMANY-world leader manufacturer of humans clones (haitch), Wednesday, 14 January 2009 23:27 (seventeen years ago)

melb uni admit to 400 of their own students lacking stable accommodation, so the number is probably higher. it's the worst for international students - hear the one about the 'rooming house' with 48 students sharing six rooms??

― GERMANY-world leader manufacturer of humans clones (haitch), Wednesday, 14 January 2009 23:34 (seventeen years ago)

Ah yes now thats another whole can o worms. I feel really sorry for int students: so many shady bastards taking advantage of them and their money and naivety, from shitty landlords letting them be crammed into tiny flats, to dodgy "visa experts" and "training centres" offering them residency and certs if they fork over cash.

what up melting melb mongs

this week: four tet and mad racket and maybe el guincho. as much as i wish there was always this much good stuff going on here i don't think my liver/mind/bank balance could cope.

OTM. Have loved the month but committed well in advance to coming out of it broke, and being out four nights a week is totally killing me. Have joined the gym to try and get match fit for next year! Might wander down to Mad Racket after Who Made Who on Satdee.

Also am going to Byrne/non-Eno on Sunday but can’t see anything about a Church support up here! Boo-urns.

lol serious wire crossing going on this wknd - heard this was happening at the same place where we saw tim sweeney, so went there and it was ok, but no herbert in sight. holy ghost & idjuts on fri night were pretty good tho!

Dudes from Hot Chip and their pals did a thing there on Friday night – it’s becoming a Hot Spot! Had they gotten the back door entry sorted yet?

Had a borrowed pass that got us past the garden queue of hundreds for Herbert, but grumpy guard said it wouldn’t work for the second queue of hundreds outside the tent itself, inside the garden. So you were better off not trying I rex! Saw Herbert himself outside looking worried though so thanked him for the big band gig and went back to Becks bar where the Bug and Warrior Queen had suuuuucked in between Herberts.
Holy Ghost were fighting an uphill battle on Wednesday night when I ‘saw’ them: last time they were in the Enmore they were playing as Teh Juan Macleans to fifty teenagers standing against the barrier and one dancing grownup – this time they were DJing for TWO HOURS as the only support to Hot Chip, to 1000 teenagers sitting on the floor being bored. It was amusing seeing them try to find something that would work – “OK, fuck the spacedisco, Blue Monday is a guaranteed banger.... no? We KNOW the kids love Cut Copy, let’s try a remix... no? Ah bugger it, you want a drink?”

― Shakir Mo Collia (sic), Thursday, 29 January 2009 06:47 (seventeen years ago)

LOL i was at the hot chip show, it was hilarious. usually i've got no problem being the only person in the room dancing but what can you do against that many ppl sitting down! it looked like that animal collective listening party....except no-one was listening to the music.

― wilter, Monday, 2 February 2009 03:10 (seventeen years ago)

So, is the festival bubble bursting? It sems like the demand is still high to me.

No, bubble has popped and demand is fluctuating. Great Escape was cancelled last year due to sales. Hot BBQ was cancelled and all the acts added to Summadayze or whatever instead. Global Gathering was selling about a quarter of capacity – Sydney dropped from seven stages to four on the day, with no notice. ATP sold way less than half capacity, apparently – but that’s across two days, in Sydney the Saturday had a good number without feeling crowded or empty; Sunday must have been much sparser. Shore Thing and Field Day both took months to sell, instead of days or hours. Days Like This had to drop one stage altogether and set up an outdoor stage instead of using the Hordern. Nevereverland dropped about half the bill and changed venues in a couple of states. Future Music had to reduce capacity from 25k to 15k due to council restrictions, and haven’t sold out the smaller number.

BDO did sell out immediately in Sydney though, and Playground Weekender has sold more than twice as many tickets as last year.

― the strawman of the hilarious DJShadow/Jurassic5 loving university student (sic), Monday, 2 February 2009 03:13 (seventeen years ago)

It was fine when BDO was all there was, but to have a festival on every 1-2 weeks between October and March is asking too much of everyone. It doesn't help when most acts do side shows - a lot of ppl like me will think "I'd rather see them in a proper venue" and skip the fest if theres only a couple bands worth seeing. ATP was too far out in the sticks.

― Trayce, Monday, 2 February 2009 03:16 (seventeen years ago)

ATP would be better if it was held somewhere with non-band novelty value like it is in the UK mind you. Not that we have anywhere like that in victoria, hrm.

A work colleague has just informed me that there's a Japanese saying: 'Don't lift the lid off the rice even if the baby is crying'. Hmmm. Maybe that lost a little something in the translation.

My rice technique: basmati rice in a solid-based saucepan, rinse in at least 3 changes of water, put water in thats a knuckle higher than the level of rice (or about an inch I guess). Low as possible heat, simmer for about 10 mins, no stirring, but shake the pot to keep it from sticking (it'll stick a bit anyway, no biggie), heat off, lid remains on another 5-10 mins, enjoi.

Trayce the only way you're going to get a big refund is if your tax was withheld wrongly from your wage (or if you've got a geared property or dividends etc). I often got dudes coming in going "my co-workers got enormous refunds". And they almost never got big refunds when I prepared the returns. My guess either bodge etax action by co-workers or bodge accountant.

I called Mum on Sunday night to make sure everyone was okay...my cousin lives near the Churchill fires, he was out working but his wife decided she wanted to stay behind. Mum's all, "Well they just finished building their house" and all I could think was screw the stupid house, does the silly bint have a death wish? my aunt even drove over to help her with hoses & buckets...fire got as close as the other side of the road, but didn't cross over! I can't believe they stayed behind...but I'm glad they're okay but I want to smack their heads together.

My sister on the other hand got the 'stay or go' order, and she had the sense to pack up her stuff & tell Mum she was coming over. Luckily the fire was contained in time, and she didn't end up having to leave after all...but I'm glad she had the sense to be ready to bolt. Getting caught is one thing...it's just the staying behind that I really, truly don't understand.

she's obviously pulling a challozp while people are listening but she does have a point - the old ways might've worked for the last 25 years but it's no good being all "we will rebuild brick by brick", only for it to all happen again in five years

― resident advice whore (haitch), Friday, 13 February 2009 04:09 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah but, I guess where she's concerned I just feel like, who bloody asked?

I'm pretty sure the Herald Sun has her on retainer...she keeps them up to their ears in Letters to the Editor if nothing else. And deep down, I don't hate her...but she's just become such a parody of herself it's getting irritating now.

― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 13 February 2009 04:14 (seventeen years ago)

Yah true. It is amazing too these stories coming out about bush block owners being forbdidden from cutting down any tress more than 10m from their homes - one letter to the Age said a condition of their building approval was "on us planting a border of native trees and undergrowth 10 metres from the house. We couldn't believe it.

We did not comply with this condition and we never will."

I mean wtf. OK, its not like we want eveyone moving up bush and concreting over the landscape, that's just silly, but no clearing? Wooden housing?

I just read about a man who cleared a fire break around his house in Reedy Creek, despite being fined $50k (his is the only one still standing)...council said you can only clear trees when they are within six metres of the house. Insanity! I had no idea the laws had gotten so crazy...I had friends who lived in the Otway Ranges, you wouldn't dare live out there without decent fire breaks, can't imagine doing the same out that way.

― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 13 February 2009 04:25 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah I read about that too, unbelievable.

― one art, please (Trayce), Friday, 13 February 2009 04:30 (seventeen years ago)

problem is, when you relax the rules then people essentially take the piss and knock over everything in sight.

also people don't take those burnoff orders (when they come) seriously - friend at work was talking about her cousin's place (might've been in the otways i think) where some neighbour with a holiday property came down to do their burnoff in late november when it was already heating up and, when he got called on it, was all "oh i couldn't get off work any earlier"!

― resident advice whore (haitch), Friday, 13 February 2009 04:38 (seventeen years ago)

yeah, I guess there's got to be some kind of middle ground. and left to their own devices people can be pretty bloody stupid.
But some of these city councils sound like they've gone a bit off their rockers...the stuff I'm reading about Healesville & people not being allowed to mow their lawns sounds kind of full on. Not that I'd mind the city council telling ME not to mow my lawn, but that's a whole different story :)

― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 13 February 2009 04:45 (seventeen years ago)

Still, all of that kind of thing is moot in the face of a firestorm like this one was (the Marysville one especially). There was nothing anyone could do, even the best prepared, cleared, wetted-down, fireproofed homes just got obliterated.

Lastfm is the pitz for less than tech savvy people trying to upload stuff. I hit obstacles every time I try. Most recently, for reasons unknown, I was locked out of my account. Apparently this may happen when some label has a claim on my music. Yeah, right. Request to be de-locked has not been answered, three weeks later. MySpace, which is no joy, is much easier to use.

Dear Christian neighbour:

Thanks for your note. Sorry we played our satanic music so loud last night and kept you awake when you had to work at 6am. We promise to keep it down in future. In the meantime, here is our phone number so you can ring if we are loud again. Which we will be in about ten minutes.

PS Your passionfruit vine will destroy us all.

Yours in peace and harmony,

C2K

Hurrah! Pimms all round.

― one art, please (Trayce), Friday, 27 February 2009 05:53 (seventeen years ago)

i don't think i liked pimms in my drinking days, and i was not exactly a fusspot.

but the sentiment is <3

― estela, Friday, 27 February 2009 06:17 (seventeen years ago)

before i enjoyed wine and beer i would drink pimms, and occasionally green ginger wine

― w/ sax (electricsound), Friday, 27 February 2009 06:19 (seventeen years ago)

i had a flatmate who drank a bottle of pimms alone in his room then joined the rest of us in the living room and lied about being hiv+, that is what i mostly think about when i hear the word pimms.

Hee, estela I only recommended Pimms because it seems such a nice, sun and lawn and sandwiches proper sort of drink to break out for hurrahs.

I like it, but ugh its so easy to drink too much and it is so sickly :/

― one art, please (Trayce), Friday, 27 February 2009 08:45 (seventeen years ago)
