mong summer dream (now featuring added winter, also spring)

Or, or, I would call myself The Red Baron. The crowd would hear a strange sound, getting louder and louder. Searchlights, strobing the ceiling, would converge on a spot directly above stage. My WWI biplane would crash through the FUCKING ROOF, smash into the stage, and explode into flames. I'd get out, ON FIRE, and be extinguished under a strobe, to the soundtrack of an air raid siren. Then I'd stride to the decks in my airman's outfit, salute the crowd, and slam straight into THE FUCKING MOVER and raise both fists to the heavens! THE CROWD GOES NUTS.

THE FUCKING MOLEY raise fists etc

waitin on a pie from the oven - frickin hungrayyy

Yeah febfarts is a charidee I can get behind (hurrr). infact just now at my desk I almost let one rip, then I remembered I was like, in an open plan office. Whoops.

looooool

I already have a reputation for being a crass nutter in the office haha ;_;

Once again the Bureau of Meteorology goes needlessly hysterical over the weather. We were promised hailstones the size of marbles! We got a small amount of driving rain.

They've been like Chicken Little ever since they were blindsided by the Great Sydney Hailstorm of 1999.

from hand to eternity

They have Nick Cave finger puppets now?

Hey how many of youse will be at Satdee ATP? I just realised I have no idea who is going. Also I still have a spare saturday pass if someone wants to buy one. I cant get rid of the damn thing.

why do you have a spare in the first place?

i am going both days

Rob asked me to buy him one. Then kindly decided at the last minute he'd rather go to Squaresounds >:|

Never buying other ppl tix for shows again grrr.

just realized I haven't yet fuckin worked out how to get to and from either. there's no trains on the Altona line this weekend ffs and the booked city to venue bus is apaz sold out. sounds a bit clusterfucky

shuttle buses now leaving from north melb staish

also you can pick up wristies in advance @ title tomorrow/fri

'wristies', he, he

i don't queue for a wristie

title is where?

I'm gonna crash @ l1v's place cos they live in the same burb. SO that makes my life 100% easier.

ermintrude st, hipsterland

fipzteroy

you guys, jb in elizabeth st (melb) has a whole section just for prog

seriously

a whole section

I have never seen so many can albums in one place

where the hell were they 18 yrs ago when I was trying to find anything at all by gentle giant

I have never seen so many can albums in one place

two?!

I didn't break down unique titles but there were at least a dozen individual cds in the rack

cool

was there any tangerine dream

don't remember

there was some steeleye span and an 'essential elp' pack (which I presume was empty)

http://cdn4.pitchfork.com/features/8835/9b12aaba.jpg

trying to remember what they used to call that section - had some lolzy 'hidden gems'-type name

'buried treasure'

sounds nuggety

can also confirm several tangs releases last time i looked

they just played something of 'portugese nuggets vol. 4' on the radio

btw two nuggets box sets are in the window of readings in acland st

easybeats' lil stevie wright is subject of Australian Story tonite - getting played up as some dorian gray type shit, but hasn't Hus tale been told a couple times now?

Why am I always surprised to hear he's still alive?

How was EN? All reportz I hear are raves. It must have been a worse hell there than on Satdee. Was glad for the existence of the bar area and cinema and other reasonably cool spots.

i cut neubauten short to beat the queue and get an early bus back.

it was hot but less people than satdee - barely had to queue for drinks and stuff.

I didnt find queues for booze bad on sat either tbh! The inside bar anyway - the one out in the food court was a bit busier.

urgent ATP q in the Whiney q&a thread fyi melbummers

i met some american rock dude at atp (for the brief couple of hours i was there) but it was not whiney

I spent all day making googly eyes at the electroindustrial musician guy I was with :| Not that it worked! ...well not yet anyway.
