ugh that always ends badly! mongrels, spring '09

But I'm outnumbered on that one I guess :/

i'm not really worried personally - just suggested because it's in the same building!

they have drinks at the toff itself, in the other section

dgaf, unlikely to be drinking terribly heavily anyways

im prolly not gonna at all :) I bought a bottle of wine last night and somehow it all disappeared :/

lol somehow

i gotta stop taking advantage of all these cheap dozen offers, i do end up spending less money but end up with 10x more hangovers

i should become a christian with all the bread and wine i consume

Yeah that was my killer, I was all "ooh why dont I check out the cleanskins store in carlise st o look, wine is $5 a bottle, noice"

urgh me head.

Living up to my username, wahey \o/

there was this semillon chardonnay i used to drink all the time and it went down like water

can't remember what brand it was, maybe rosemount?

Yeah the one I had last night was like that which I think is why I drank it so fast - didnae feel much like I was drinking it at all. Maybe I need to start buying foul paint stripper crap to put me off.

TBH tired enough to not bother with tonight at all but already bought tix, so.

so anyway what was decided after all that? help me before i end up walking around in a circle in the middle of swanston street

Heheh argh I dont know! Cos we need to eat dinner before we do anything else. um er... meet somewhere at 7 but where? Someone make a decision so I dont have to.

TOFF

7

DONE

OKAY SOUNDS FOINE

I just hope we wont be drowning in a sea of drunken pre-Cup oompa loompas.

well there's always hells, then walk up to toff? hells is quieter.

Well I dunno when we'll be done eating (or where we're doing that) is the problem but hmm maybe. You sure hells would be quiet on a cup eve?! Im imagining everywhere is going to be spastic :/

well you know, quieter than some places. like QUEEN ST for instance.

LOL true. For me, if I cant sit down its not somewhere I want to be but thats just how I roll (or sit, as it were).

i can meet u at hells h round half-six if u like?

Yeah you guys meet up whenevs and I'll ping you when I know where I'm at Jim? Might be easier.

werks 4 me

done and done

undies were good, not amazing.. RA was in very fine form as was vince's voice, however the almost complete lack of pre-LMB songs was REALLY disappointing to me (no lick the boot ;_;) and it really wouldn't have killed vince to at least approximate the original melody of some songs..

i don't know if this was their first show back or not, so there's probably still bumps to be worked out. will go & see em at EBC in dec..

reckon it musta been the first show. they were going under an alias, after all!

tru

Ah good, I feel a little less silly about skipping now. As it turned out we got home and basically fell asleep cz we were stuffed.

Was good to see yers all last night tho mongs!

hmm

yes but sydney

Whats with every old band ever reforming,lately.

probably something to do with the complete vacuum of new australian bands that are worth listening to

that's just from a local perspective though

Never thought of that, yeah. Perth seems to be where its at these days.

it does? i haven't heard a new perth band since cartman

think canyons are from perth

dat's all i got

Radarmaker, the Tigers, Empire of the Sun, Hoopers Store.. bunch of robs friends are in bands too, seems like everyone is over there.

there was institut polaire but they moved to melb i think. and the zebras are from perth maybe? i like them.

Yeah IPs are in Melb now, they also have their alter-ego band Jack on Fire.

Thats another thing perth seem to do a lot of:people are all up in each others bands heaps.

Rob did this nice aussie music mix last week FWIW:

i never got the multiple bands thing, but maybe it's different for non-songwriters? i don't like spreading my ideas thin, there's barely enough of them as it stands

Luke Slater (that's my friend L1v's bro) is awesomely talented and really needs to be signed by someone.

Yeah Rob's always doing about 4 diff projects, now he's trying to start a post metal band!

lol i saw the "luke s" bit and was about to launch into a rant

xpost
