so bill oddie now has a nature show?

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 07:28 (twenty-two years ago)

rusholme ruffians. originally the meat is murder thread. but the top right link is an impatient reflex.

― youn, Sunday, 8 August 2004 07:48 (twenty-two years ago)

As well as being a comedian and a songwriter, Bill Oddie is one of Britain's best known bird watchers.

col do YOU know about this?

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, I put my pointless two cents in. Need something to do during Idol commercial breaks, sad case that I am.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:21 (twenty-two years ago)

who'd a thunk the battle for our ideological freedom extended to such? hooray for edward!

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my god. An Australian Idol contestant is singing "Glory Box". For god's sake, vote for Chanel.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:26 (twenty-two years ago)

indie sellout

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:27 (twenty-two years ago)

My indie past is coming back to haunt me. Fucking fuck.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:27 (twenty-two years ago)

jus kiddin. you know i'm as indie as it gets

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:28 (twenty-two years ago)

On the other hand, I don't want this darling alternative flower to have to sing an awful song like Angels Bought Me Here, so perhaps she SHOULD lose.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:29 (twenty-two years ago)

is she HOT edward?

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Not really.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:32 (twenty-two years ago)

not even in an indie way?

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Indie hot != hot.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:34 (twenty-two years ago)

what this show really needs is Simon Cowell.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you offering yourself for the position?

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I could do it. Ahem. "That was amazing. Amazingly bad."

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I've heard your Cowell. It's very good.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

the australian ilx idol show.

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate Marcia. If I weren't a bit tone deaf I would be a great judge. I know what makes pop good.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:39 (twenty-two years ago)

i think we should set it up at....marrickville rsl!

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:48 (twenty-two years ago)

yay!!!

Hows about when Marcia and that Mark Walton said the Portishead song was 'an unusual choice'. Grrrr.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it was, really. But it's the first proof that they actually get to pick their own song. I had always assumed that there was a "master list" of about 100-200 songs.

I mean who really likes "Angels" anyway in this country? It was released like four times and never made the top 40 and yet someone thinks it's worth picking!

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

true enough.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:57 (twenty-two years ago)

chanel is fucking hot as, i won't hear a word against her, even if she is a bjork fan

― purple patch (electricsound), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:02 (twenty-two years ago)

You mean that doesn't increase the appeal?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:03 (twenty-two years ago)

no. but in a few weeks she will be every indie boy's (and probably quite a few girls) guilty pop crush

― purple patch (electricsound), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:07 (twenty-two years ago)

if she isn't already.

― purple patch (electricsound), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Chanel is cute. I am identifying embarassingly with Ben. He's a goofy nerd. Like me. "Freedom" is my favourite pop single of all time. Won't vote for him though. I actually voted for Chanel making it my first actual vote on one of these shoes evah.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't believe you're all watching Idol. I'm disappointed in all of you!

PS why the fuck does it say something like "and the Osama lama" under that Goodies drawing!?

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 8 August 2004 23:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Trayce i have NEVER watched Idol.

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 23:27 (twenty-two years ago)

b-b-b-but Chanel?!

― purple patch (electricsound), Sunday, 8 August 2004 23:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh dont mind me, I'm in a funny mood. Last night there was a fascinating show on architecture on ABC and they touched on modernist Aust stuff, and I was struck by how beautiful a lot of Canberras buildings are. And also struck by how, in effect, I grew up in a giant leafy modern artwork, and it totally never ocurred to me to think of it as special.

I'm now homesick, and I feel very odd.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 8 August 2004 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Only Canberra would have government public housing this pretty.

... and student residence halls this ugly (ahhh, Toad Hall).

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 9 August 2004 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

those dorms look a LOT like the dorms i lived in whilst at school. i'm imagining that they were built in the 60s/70s?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 9 August 2004 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Lots of huge windows and very square modernist lines. It screams Canberra. Funny I never noticed it before.

You should be the new PM and then the land will redound with the calls of Liz Fraser. And "Postcards for sale!" I don't know why.

Now you see, YOU know I like the Cocs - why is everyone else saying I remind them of Bloody Ministry and Type O Negative (both whom I cant stand?) *cries*.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 9 August 2004 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I know not, dear Trayce! Perhaps people are curious. To solve this problem, well, one you lock the target...

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I also need a drink.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:59 (twenty-two years ago)

are the tickets able to be purchased online?

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah the link on my LJ is to ticketmaster... I wanted to avoid that tho personally, as a) it costs more thru them and b) my credit card's limit is up its own wazoo.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, if we all booked togther we'd get seats together wouldnt we? Hows that stuff work?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Adam did you know about this gig? BILL BAILEY!!! OMGWTF

Yeah, I saw it on your LJ thing. :)

When's the gig?

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah fuck it, tell me later, I'm off to buy ice cream.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes, speaking of "my LJ thing", mr "notadam"!!! ;P

Uh yeah gig - um... Sept 7th I think?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

One of the girls just went round giving everyone Smints. I asked her if it was because she thinks we all smell.

Now my throat feels all cold and on fire from the Smint :(

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Sept 7th... I have NO idea what I'm doing then.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Me either but fuckit I'm getting a ticket anyway.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Ahahaha. How much?

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Ticketmaster said 40-50 bucks? I spose the price varies depending on concession or sommat.

I've seen Bill do standup before (well, on telly anyway) and he was great.

Speaking of which I wish Black Books 3 would hurry the fuck up and be on tv here.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 04:03 (twenty-two years ago)

nah they didn't even finish the whole series, they went back to english mysteries leading directly into the glasshouse after about 3 episodes. VERY disappointing, it was great to get home from the pub and watch before falling asleep on the couch.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 23 August 2004 04:05 (twenty-two years ago)
