Uh……..yeaaaah.

Hey gang

We had a really shit gig the other night at the Towny, and apologise to anyone who attended. The only shining lite was the introduction of our new tune "Fuck off". I thought that the K'road Queens were really cool too. I took some snaps of them, which I'll post on Flickr tomorrow. Went to see MYC, A Death in the Family (also more snaps), and Angry Kid on Friday night for the Arthouse's 15th Birthday (Happy birthday guy's). The Arthouse has been the backbone of the underground music scene in Melbourne for a long time, and Marie, Peter and Mel should be really proud of what the Arthouse has done in those 15 years, and for what the place means to so many people. It is, a very special place. So to Marie and Pete and their family I say, Thank you. Schottky Noise played there last night, for what will most probably be our last show with Lee, before he makes the idiotic move to Perth. I'm really, really really gonna miss Lee, he's one of coolest, funny, most genuine people I've ever met through playing music. I hope he comes to his senses, and comes home soon. Also had a fucking car accident last night on the way home. Some ass clown turned right in front of me on the Errol/Queensbury St intersection. So the front end of the wagon is a little fucked up at the moment. Hopefully the guy wont try and wriggle out of his responsibility for the accident, and his insurance company and my insurance company, will sort it out quickly and with little fuss. I can really recommend

Why I might give up drinking……..

Hey gang

I've learned a lot about myself this week. I learned that when I'm drunk, some people can take my sense of humor the wrong way. So much so that people can decide that they HATE me. So o.k……point taken, maybe I can be come a little too overbearing with me attitude and humor. But still…if you can't take a joke….build a bridge people!. Also I made a poor choice later on that evening, that made me think I might not be as responsible and sensible as I thought I was. I decided that after 8 hours of sinking frothies with the lads, that i might just drive home….instead of catching the last train as planned. Now let me just say that I have always been one of the biggest critics of drink drivers, and have never ever even contemplated driving under the influence of frothies before. So it was quite a disappointing effort on my part. Anyway……..LWT are playing at the Green room this Friday night (Good Friday) at about 9:00. There's about 8 bands playing including Beanflipper (go Sean!), firewitch and Motor Vehicle Sundown. Also we will be donating our share of the taking to the Royal Children's Hospital – Good Friday Appeal. Don't forget to "……give that they may grow".

Later gators.

STREET PIZZA!

Hey!

Got back from Sydney last night at about 11:00, I'm still really fucked, but It was a pretty good trip. We left at about 8:30 on Saturday morning, even though I didnt get to sleep till about 2:30-3:00 after the Phony gig. Man… I nearly died in that fucking joint, it was that smokey I couldn't breath. Anyway…….Rob got food poisening on the way up at Hole(brook), which was pretty funny. Hole(brook) is also home to Australia's only centre for Photo copies AND Christian outreach. We stopped at the stupid dog on the tuckerbox as well, what a crap fucking souvenier shop they have there…..Craig bought a sticker to put on his van though. We got to Sydney at about 6:00 and checked in to our cheap, cockroach infested Hotel. I took the boys to Dahkni in Glebe Pt road in…..Glebe for dinner, It was just as nice as I remembered, and the guy's loved it. Except Rob, cause it was soon after that he came down with "the sickness". He thought it might have been Dahkni that made him sick, but a punched him in the face and he soon changed his tune. We had a couple of Scooners at the Lansdown and then Matty and I went back to the Hotel, while Rob and Craig hooked up with Jo and Kat. Next morning I got the boys up early and hearded them out to see the sights of Sydney(the harbour). We walked from Central Station down Pitt St to Circular Quay, to get the ferry to Balmain. The boys hadn't been on a ferry, before and i wanted to show them Sydney on the harbour. We got off at Pyrmont Bay and walked up King St to Red Eye Records, I bought a stack of good shit and then it was off to Krispy Kreme on York St. We could smell them being cooked half a block away, and jeez did I get excited. We had a coffee and a couple of round ones, and then headed down to Allans to get some strings for Rob, and go to Red Eye's second hand store as well. From Red Eye, I got: Dinasour Jnr – "the wagon" Sub Pop 7" for about $15, a Tad "live" bootleg 7" for about $5, Mudhoney – "Your gone" 7" on Au-Go-Go $10, Mudhoney- "Let it slide" Sub Pop 7" $10, and Guided by Voices – "back to the lake" 7" $10. I also got the jazz Pavement tribute CD "Gold Sounds". Then we went down to the gig at the Abercrombie. I was a bit scepticle at first, but it turned out to be an awesome show, and we met some really cool people. Also it was the first time I'd played with Kids from Russia, they were really good, and they are good eggs too. I drank alot of scooners on the Sunday night, have I told you how much I love scooners?. Fuck I love scooners, it's the perfect size glass for drinking beer, and I wish we drank scooners in Melbourne. Monday we got up not so early, and went to get some breakfast on King St(Newtown). I had the best bowl of mueslie, yoghurt and fruit I've ever had. Then we had a little bit of time to check another couple of record shops in Newtown before we left. Theres a cool little second hand record store on Wilson St, just off King St Newtown, called Egg Records. They are a little pricey, but they have some good shit. I got Soundgarden's -"room a thousend miles wide" and "H.I.V. Baby" 7" on Sub Pop, and another S/P 7' by the Scud Mountain Boys. I also got the "Glue" 12" on Purple vinyl for about $25. Over all a good weekend for record shopping. After all of that Craig blew a tyre on the M5 on the way out of town, and then couldn't get his mag wheel off. So he had to join the RACV, and then get them to get the NRMA to come out and help him. Rob and I kept ourselves amused the whole trip by shouting out "street pizza", every time we saw a flat dead animal on the road. It was kinda fun, and kinda gross. dropped Rob off at home about 10:00, I got home about 10:45.

End of story….I'm going to sleep know.
