Chatelaine

In the 90s I loved a band called Curve. Lots of guitars, lovely vocals, dark & beautiful. I was excited to hear that from Toni Halliday from Curve has some new stuff out. It's called Chatelaine & they're giving away a couple of songs (see below). Totally worth a listen in my opinion, I'll be getting it :)

In case you missed them here's some Curve:

Wordle

I had another go at Wordle the other day. This tells me that I really need to talk more about Godzilla! Not that I ever stop talking about him, I do have a Godzilla ringtone, you know :p

I'm in luuuuuurv

While wandering round the internet this week I've stumbled across a few things. Most notably are two artists Jeremy Geddes, a Melbourne painter whose work fill me with joy. Floating cosmonauts (or people) in various backgrounds are amazing.




Then there's Japanese painter Tetsuya Ishida, his amazing surrealistic paintings which are a little bit creepy. But I'm into that, shame he's no longer with us, might have to see if I can get some prints of his work.




The other thing that took my interest this week were these:



Beardcaps! I have to admit to being over the whole "show how manly you are & grow an enormous beard" trend. Big beards just creep me the hell out (not in a good way), a nice trimmed/well maintained one is fine. These beardcaps seem to be the perfect solution, neat & easily removed! Question is should I get one for myself & would it look too weird on me? Hmmmmmm

Birds

Hello Internet,

Been a while hasn't it? Sorry about that, I actually meant to post this at the begining of April. But it seems to be near the end of May, oops! This is another mix of music about Birds specifically. Spent a bit of time getting it all together so that it sounded okay & had some pretty covers to go with it.

Hope you enjoy it (if you download it) not sure if it'll play in the order I meant it to though so be sure to check out the track listing.

Birds

insert disclaimer from here I've seen 9 (of 16) of the artists in concert, all kickarse performers.

What I've been doing (in pictures)

Okay maybe a little type. Been to an exhibition, Hymn to Beauty definitely worth it, you should go.




Bought a new iPod (finally) my old one only played sound out of the right ear. Also got a 1TB external hard drive, so I can put all my music on it, as it's currently all over the place.






Then there are the concerts, I can't believe I've been to 15 concerts already. Well my bank account/credit card can, it's an expensive past time. Didn't take my camera to all the shows, so here are pics from Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro, Spinnerette & The Dead Weather. 3 awesome, loud, sweaty concerts :)

Happy Australia Day!

This Australia Day I'm having a Godzilla marathon. I got a few dvds for my birthday, the one pictured above plus the 1956 American version Godzilla, King of the Monsters and 1966 Godzilla Vs The Sea Monster (which I've already watched & was hilarious. Particularly when Godzilla does a dive bomb/cannonball into the ocean). Then there are the ones a friend lent to me 1968 Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters, 1969 Godzilla: All Monsters Attack, 1972 Godzilla Vs Gigan and 1993 Godzilla Vs Mecha Godzilla (II).
It's going to be a good one!

Surely if I were made of money

And had more space I would give several of these stools a home. Probably the red ones, although I'd prefer something darker. $250+ for one is a little bit more than I can spend, unless some rich benefactor makes his/her prescence known. This is where they're from.
