Jeez Louise, is this 'if you are a Kim in the music business you're fucked' day? Gordon and Thayil better watch out! Crimony!

i'm always going to that pub, i've never particularly felt that was a terribly street crime ridden area..

No you're right...I used to go there for dinner on my own of a Friday night when I lived in the neighborhood, and even when I was waiting around the tram stop I didn't feel half as unsafe as I did when waiting for the same tram outside Parliament station of a night. But outside the Empress? I mean, Scotchmer's just a tiny street, but like he says, it's mostly uni students in the area. Such a weird place to carjacked. Poor Kim...I've seen him play a bunch of times, he's great.

"You would expect something out the back of Smith Street in Collingwood..."

Jesus. I didn't realise we should expect carjackings in any suburb. Who knew? *locks driver's door*

That's pretty awful. Australia is turning to shit.

Also: Is that Antenna album worth getting?

― Nic de Teardrop (Nicholas), Friday, 10 June 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

It's very summer-pop-stylee rather than Salmon grrrrngrngwahhhhmrnt or Faulkner rock-pop-la!, but is good. Out of the three collab albums, I think the Business one is easily the best, but Antenna isn't bad at all.

That's shit, give him back his car anon! It would've been the North Fitz housing commision kids for sure
