overheard conversation @ the meredith music festival on the weekend:

man 1: "what is this shit?"
man 2: yeah, they need to stop playing this doof-doof crap."

the artist in question? undie rapper j-live.

overheard conversation #2:

man 1: "maaaaate, where you been?"
man 2: "I've been getting my cock sucked in another tent."

aussie festival-goers: confused about what they're actually listening to, but you can't accuse them of not having their priorities in order.

Oh fuck yeah. It's bloody awful.

On a side note, I had my car stereo on Triple Bloody J yesterday (I'm waiting until Xmas until I get my iTrip) and the first thing I heard was "coming up, we're talking to the associated editor of PITCHFORKMEDIA DOT COM".

I was tempted to start running over people.

JJJ: a steady diet of W0lfm0ngrel and P1tchf0rk. And me, with all these internet radio stations to choose from. Hmmm, what a dilemma.

w0lfm0th3r had a fantastic light show.

that's all I'll be saying about that, then.
