Fogharty! MIA!

Good year for music so far. I've been particularly enjoying: Kurt Vile: "Wakin on a Pretty Daze" (currently #1 on RYM's chart: http://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2013 ) The Drones: "I See Seaweed" (Andrew's concert review: http://www.thevine.com.au/music/live-reviews/report-the-drones-brisbane-2013/ ) "Push the Sky Away" "m b v" Also, Bob Mould's recent concert tour is the best thing I've seen for many years! Are you on one of those music streaming sites? I'm on rdio.com with this username.

MBV still available. don't miss it! http://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=MYBLOODY13#.UP_yuCe858E

I see you're liking Miles Kane too!

My album of 2011 (that I've heard so far): Harmony self-titled. Yours?

Hey The new Vampire Weekend album Contra is leaked. It's pretty good. Also check out the Horrors and even better Bombay Bicycle Club that I told ya about.

Hey I had a look at your profile and I love your music taste! If you're into British bands, check out these gems - [url=http://www.last.fm/music/This+Is+Seb+Clarke]This Is Seb Clarke[/url], [url=http://www.last.fm/music/The+Title+uk]The Title[/url] and [url=http://www.last.fm/music/The+Novellos]The Novellos[/url]. Have a listen and let me know what you think :) Do you know of similar sounding bands you could recommend to me? x

Now started on Gary Numan! That's pushed our music compatability up to max! Also Jack White's new band, the Dead Weather do a cover of 'Are Friends Electric'. I like the instrumentals but Allison Mosshart kills the vocals a bit (get it?).

Hey Gex, how have ya been? Just thought I'd let you know i'm getting really into Nick Cave. Top stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN75im_us4k haha, you'll love this

Ah not too great. I'm really bored and it keeps on raining. How are you getting on with that ruler?

Gexy Gexy Gexy...gimmie an update matey. Since you're anti-facebook, what's been happening in Captain Smugfunt's world?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuL2kvEaWrw - "Time Zone - World Destruction", suits you down to a T. Also, I'm about to start reading the "Nero Wolfe" series, but Rex Stout. I'll keep you posted, but I feel it also fits you to a T - anti-social, high functioning genius that solves crimes. He's like you...except rich and fat. I've got his whole series in PDF and audiobook, so if you want to taste a few I can always email them. I reckon you'd like em.

Mr Clarke, like Mr Moore, fills a much needed niche by providing batshit crazy content that only a select few could ever hope to possibly understand and/or enjoy. Now, I could write more, but fuck off. I don't wanna be nice, and I think it's clever to swear >;~D

Gexy...keen for final day??

tell your mate that you don't win anything for finishing 3rd and so there is no such thing as a third place playoff. ahem .......

No probs gexy. Expect many more as I consume more literature! Nom nom nom nom... Also: am now aiming to star in BITCH KILLER 2, considering the high quality of the original.

Oh Jesus...i will now be back on sunday night for the darbeh if you are keen. 1030 kick off i believe followed by the european 3rd place play off between arsenal and chelsea

And thanks for joining!

the 'mind games,' segment made me piss. looks like you've blown the league ........ never mind. I'm Bolton for my sins...........

Thanks for visiting the UK Post-Rock Group! http://www.last.fm/group/UK+Post-Rock

just noticed you'd listened to the Brand & Gallagher show from the weekend. you follow footie then?

yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. its been a long time since I last saw them. are they scheduled to get over there this year?

Excellent Kingdom Of Rust review!

Im currently trying to abbreviate economic terms into simpler forms...like Aggregate Demand to Abu Dhabi and the IS Curve to inswinging corner. All in a savant like manner. You still coming city game tomorrow morn. 4:30...im hoping for some wisdom from fozzie and oweritefe

oh jesus this new doves' album...its like dennis law backheel to the face of cristiano ronaldo. loved the review by the way. you in the process of doing another? any hints on what?

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll definitely check them all out.

I read your Kingdom of Rust journal. I guess I'll check it out now. Nice taste btw

"Deerhunter have garnered a reputation for their intense live shows.] Cox has worn sundresses and has performed with fake blood smeared over his face and hands, their live show being "much more savage" than their albums. In his explanation of the sundresses Cox has said, "I don't like the idea of going around stage in just jeans and a t-shirt. It seems anticlimactic." Hahaha, should be good! I've got their two other studio albums, an EP and the bonus disc that came with Microcastle for you when you come round. It's an e-ticket so you just turn up with photo ID and I collect our tickets.

Yeah sounds good, I might put some of my music on it for you, on the off chance you don't already have it! My extension is 743. Looking forward to the football and a night out sounds like a good plan too, it's been a while since I made it out. I saw watchmen today. Haha, I don't think I'm quite as much a fan as you are. Call me a prude but some of the violence was a bit OTT!

My music collection is expanding to astronomic levels, still I'm a mere solar system compared with the grand Universe of the Gex. Some new albums would be greatly appreciated. And yeh, of course I'm up for the internationals this weekend, does the pope shit in the woods?

Gex we need you and your ridiculous collection of music back here...coming round to watch the internationals?

Enjoying the new Morrissey album I presume. DC is RUBBISH without you this year. I had to download it. In fact they didn't even have the new Kanye West album on there. How's the new Pete Doherty album. I just downloaded it. About to listen now.

Hey Gex! Went to Big Day Out in Perth in the end. It was great. Saw the Arctic Monkeys and Neil Young which was amazing. I can't believe how good the Arctic Monkeys were live! I and I can reliably inform you that Neil Young is keeping on rocking in the free world. Also saw this band earlier on in the day called Birds of Tokyo who were fantastic. Check them out if you haven't already. I'm going to go see them in Brisbane with Mike, Eddie and Sam on 5th March if you're interested. Should be pretty good and it'd be cool to meet up. Hope you're all good. We're now on the last leg of our trip. In NEW ZEALAND BRO!!! Much more like England than Australia. Weather and all, it's fuckin freezing!!! Catch ya later Gex.

I've been called worse, and it's not exactly an incorrect statement, so I'll let it slide >;~). I've been going for 30-40min walks after work everyday with my shinaz new iPod, so have been powering through books like a man on fire! Managed to finally read some old classics I've always been interested in (Time Machine, Jekyll/Hyde, Holmes). Big Finish is awesome - when you get the $$$ you should sign up for the Download subscription - it was the very first thing I got with my first paycheck. And yes ladies, he's single!

Cheers for the tip. I like how you went out of your way to not comment on the blog, but to shout at me on here ;) Check out my David Byrne review..

Thanks mate. Shame we didn't meet at the show. It's one of those ones that I enjoy more after the performance than during, unfortunately. David Byrne last night was brilliant - who are you seeing next?

Will do. Didn't take you for a fan of MGMT or new Kings of Leon! Mr Byrne is on Saturday too..

Cheers Gex. Bunged a mail your way, using a new gmail account, so don't get freaked.

All Tomorrow's Parties @ Buller was brilliant. Check out my review...

Hey Gexy. Lately I've been getting into XTC's "English Settlement", which I believe you might be a fan of?

i just discovered dig lazarus dig.. it is pretty great

Gexymungus - got a favour to ask. Not sure if you're still in/around Brissy or not, but I'm after someone to pick up my batch of funnies this month until Nickalopalis can do it. I think after 2 months they abandon the box and I last picked mine up mid-november. If not, I'll figure something out. Cheers Gexy!

Sounds suspiciously like a plan. See you then!

Body, 3.40pm Friday, sounds sweut. I'll probably be going into the city around lunchtime to nat around. Wanna meetup somewhere around 1ish?

Gexy. Fil-um times for you to peruse: Body of Lies (Myer Centre): Friday, 28 November 2008, 15:45 21:00 How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (Myer): Friday, 10:20 13:15 18:30 Burn After Reading (Regent): Friday, 10:10 15:40 21:20 I checked South Bank but they've got nothing except Bond bascially. I'm free and easy for any, but have a secret love for Body of Lies. but Burn after Reading is meant to be quite good.

Film on Sun or Mon - Monday may be more reliable due to less damn kids. Damn kids. Shall inquire into times, as before/after will need to utilise my Borders Book Voucher - 4 books, 35% off! It's on like Donkey Kong!

"You are a worse driver than I am" "AIEEE!" Seriously though, will try to phone again but be aware: Saturday Night, 7:30pm, O'Malleys Bar. People are appearing to eat food, drink beer, and converse about the nature of life, the universe and everything.
