JULY 26TH-CORNER HOTEL

Woooooohhooooooo!!!!!!!

Got my Mogwai ticket in the post today.

What are you looking at……….?

Sorry to everyone who turned up at Pony last week expecting to see Look Who’s Toxic. I was real fucking sick and there was no way I was gonna drag myself out of bed at 1 in the AM, hurl all my gear into the car in the freezing cold, get to Pony, load out 2 Km’s down the street and then up the narrowest stair case in the world, and then……..choke on the smoke of a thousand PJ extra mild’s. Seriously……If I could have been able to I would have, but I was hella sick. Rob’s other band Applecross played instead, and seeing as they made it out alive, it went pretty well.

Things have been pretty busy on the home-front…….Milo’s cutting more teeth (7 in total), and Rachael’s back at work full time. So Milo’s in childcare three days a week and  Rachael’s mum is looking after him for the other two days a week. He’s starting to yak away like madman, even though he’s not really saying a hell of a lot, he’s got “ba-bah”, and “mah,mah” down pretty good. He’s even working combo’s of the two like… “ba-bah-mah-ba”, and so on. He’s always got a smile going too, which is really cute, even if he hasn’t slept well, or his teeth hurt, he’s always smiling.

Music wise I haven’t really been listening to a lot. I’ve been pretty much wrapped up in the footy season, and this stupid world cup. I did pick up the new Pissed Jeans 7 inch on Sub Pop though, which is very awesome.  Also picked up a nice Rocket from the Crypt print by Coop for $10. Cool huh?

Death to Jimmy Wong!

Hey party goers

Had a pretty painful bout of food poisoning/gastro last week, care of Jimmy Wong in Footscray. I knew when I was eating those fucking Dim Sims that there was something not right, and I was stupid for eating most of them anyway, I was so fucking sick. Thursday night was spent hurling, I almost hurled in Milo’s childcare centre when I was picking him up!…..so on the way home it was like….”hang on buddy, daddy’s just gotta stop the car and have spew, ok?”. Friday I was in bed all day chucking from both ends (not in bed, I got out and went to the can for that), sleeping and watching vids(DVD’s) when I wasn’t asleep or retching….or spraying the bowl(sorry). I couldn’t eat anything for nearly three day’s, and lost nearly 5KG’s in the process. And to make things even shittier, I think Milo has it now too. I stayed away from the little guy for “a couple of days”, just like the Doctor told me to….., but he woke up last night after chundering over his bed and himself, I wouldn’t have believed so much puke could come from such a little dude. So hopefully he’ll be ok, and wont be too sick.

Tonight Look Who’s Toxic are on Best of the Brat on RRR (102.7FM), talking about, and playing, our favourite “Rooting” songs. I’ll have to do all the talking on this one, Rob and Craig don’t have much experience in this field. Then on Friday night we play at Pony, at the un-godly time of 2.00AM. I’m gonna have to have a snooze after work to try and be in some sort of fit state to play the gig though I reckon. I hope they have had some sort of smoke exhaust system fitted in the last month or two, It gets so Smokey in that place, I can’t fucking breath already……

Go Bull Doggers!!!!!
