Well-played.

I kind of want to show my mother your avatar... I've got piercings and she's like "YOU CAN NEVER BE EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS A PROFESSIONAL."

You have really super fabulous charts. Marine Girls? Wow. That's obscure.

こんにちは。お久しぶりです。お元気ですか？:D

Sounds fairly good. Uni's v. stressful atm with exams and I'm finding myself doing last-minute essays like always >:(. Definitely enjoying it 200% better than last year though. Haven't used KG and Secret Cinema properly yet - will let you know how it turns out.

Oh, also, how's uni? Do you have exams, or do honours students just do a thesis? What's yours on??

Haha, I read something about sampling the Rugrats theme. I wouldn't say no to that. New discoveries haven't been too major at the moment, but I'm liking Bedhead's What Fun Life Was and Bardo Pond's Amanita a lot. Former are maybe better than Red House Painters and the latter is like the only psychedelic rock I like atm. Good to see Gillian Welch plays continuing - I've been loving her a lot lately. Red Clay Halo and Elvis Presley Blues are just perfect.

Are the Just Joans worth downloading?

Added!

Haha, "Party Hard" has a certain charm...............................maybe.

Andrew W.K. plays.... :D

have messaged you

nice taste

*Is* so shit. Some family-related stuff happened and I needed to start to support myself completely so worked full-time. Now uni is about to go back I will cut back working dramatically though, so I'm at least trying to be a little more optimistic now. My uni gave me a scholarship too, which helps. How was your summer? + when do you finish studying?

How are you, anyway?

didn't end up going to leonard or acid mothers. my page is a sham of what i should be doing with my life. instead i'm working and depressed and not scrobbling because i'm not listening to music/doing anything

lol why do you have rob darken in your avatar? i don't see you listen to that kind of music

nice sounds on your radio liam. you psyched about niel young?

Just sent an email to a friend that was there and asked him if I was carrying on a bit about it – you know, that maybe it was good but not as amazing as I thought. He said that it was, in fact, fantastic and possibly the best festival ever. I know it sounds mad, but a lot of us are saying it. As the review in today’s ‘The Australian’ says: “But for all the many and varied highlights, ATP was infinitely greater than the sum of its parts. The music, the vistas, the people, the atmosphere: for all those lucky enough to attend the inaugural Australian ATP, this was an event to cherish forever”.

I think you mean Matthaus-Passion. But the Cello Suites are certainly better than most things ever.

High? If only. She should fall off the wagon, start drinking, and write some more heartbreakers. All this sobriety is killing me.

And nearly everyone agrees with you. It begs the question: what the fuck is she doing?

Like that new Catpower? Will she ever release her own songs again?

I never use those anyway, but - http://addons.songbirdnest.com/tag/search . Install the Google Search and make it your default.

It's really great. It has in-built iTunes and inbuilt Firefox - I'm just running the browser through the program atm. It looks kinda like iTunes but better. And you can download a plug-in that shows the lyrics to the song your playing in the sidebar, except I don't speak Portuguese so it's not helping too much atm.

dood, get it - www.getsongbird.com

oh my god. someone else has logged into my account. i didn't leave you that shout! that was the same night that someone reset my playcount and erased my user pic! i'm so sorry that some asshole left that totally rude for comment for you. i am so, so deeply disturbed

lame and overused pynchon reference.

Sounds pretty good, are you going to the ATP fest when it comes around? I think Brisbane will end up getting a pretty bad lineup, but we'll wait and see. At uni I'm studying journalism, which sounds fair enough in premise, but it really feels like such a bad course atm. Have to do so much pointless shit and I'd rather be doing something else; so I'm not sure whether just to continue on, hope it gets better, and at least leave with a degree in 2 years, or change my course next year (to what, I don't know). I got some thinking to do and not a lot of motivation to do it, haha.

Patti has already been? How did that go? Did you go to the Ginsberg one or just the regs one? How's ur uni stuff going? How do you like all the questions?

Bongwater, nice! What a great band.

agreed - redondo beach and birdland made it all worthwhile (although i do love 'teen spirit' *guilty smile*). she's very ... genuine. and her voice is deeper, but hasn't faded. amazing.

hey. what did you think of patti smith?

The reality is in <i>this</i> head. Mine. I'm the projector at the planetarium, all the closed little universe visible in the circle of that stage is coming out of my mouth, eyes, and sometimes other orifices also.

Yeah, it's hard to believe I've listened to that much music in the last few years.

No more Brendan Nelson :O

your avatar is fantastic :)

Looks like it. My hiatus was mainly due to my computer dying. Other than that just uni, sleeping, eating and etc.

http://www.last.fm/event/714343 ??

It would appear that I am. I did, however, not know anything about them having become famous because of that show (which I don't know either). So, thanks for the info, I guess. :P

Sickkkk. I think I've sort of like everything I've heard off there. And dutn b scard of tekkno. That Sascha Funke thing was fucking cool. Just shake it like a rapist in a nightclub. Bring back alcopopz 4 my dance beetz :(

Thxxxxxxx. PS. I hope you're checking out [url=http://www.killedincars.blogspot.com]kic[/url].

Oh. Great... Nice. Awesome. ANYWAY, I agree @ the gospel. You should get Johnny Cash's stuff too, btw, it's pretty fun. Also, I turned Pitchfork like crazy this year and started really liking the new Fleet Foxes album and EP. That stuff has a definite Americana/gospel feel to it. There's like three tracks on the Sun Giant EP that are among my favourites of the year so far, for sure. So maybe be an indie fanboy like me and listen to that, too. Yay for Jesus.

Yeah, I guess so. I sorta rely on it to sort my listening habits etc, really. Glad you liked Elvis, it's hell addictive. And no, haven't heard the Sam Cooke stuff. I only recently downloaded that live album that everybody raves about. But anyway, if it's good I'll be on the lookout for it, seeming gospel in a catalog usually > everything else. More importantly, did you hear/happen to watch the Big Brother housemates being "hypnotized". If not, you don't want to hear about it. Just start crying right now.

Dunno really, a heap of my reviews and board posts got deleted though. I guess people didn't appreciate getting told their threads are shitty. But seriously, they were.

Hey, that thing I said about not getting banned from RYM this time around. Yeah, that kinda failed.
