Aussies Should Give Muslims A Chance !
"There is currently a great deal of interest in, and misunderstanding about, Australia ’s Muslim communities. Muslim Australians are not a homogenous group as some media reports might lead us to believe, but make up a small, culturally diverse section of Australian society.
Over a third (36 per cent) of Muslim Australians are Australian-born, while those who have arrived here as immigrants come from all over the world—from Lebanon and Turkey to Bangladesh and Fiji . Some come from countries where women wear a burqa or a veil, most do not. And despite concerns expressed by some, many others argue that the vast majority of Muslim Australians see no conflict of loyalty between Islam and Australian citizenship."
It's usually the most opened minded Countries that get the most cake!
Courtney Is A Class Act...
As I mentioned earlier on, which none of you geeks probably read,
I witnessed Courtney play the other weekend.
She is on the Myspace - she's gonna be huge.
Vote for her on Triple J Unearthed.
Courtney's music reminds me of a Strawberry Milkshake.
You'll love it.

Max Q
Went to a party a few weeks ago and INXS were blaring from a PA
as people danced in eighties costumes.
Luckily I was wearing a t-shirt and suit jacket.
I couldn't get a drink because there were no glasses,
just a strawberry container with a fuckin' hole in it!
Anyway it reminded me today of Max Q.
Hutcho was obviously doing a lot of crack when they made
"Way of the World"
Listen...
Respect to Mr Hutchence, yes?
Ahead of his time with this song.

This is the best version of Enter Sandman ever. Moscow September 28th 1991. The Police look like they're enjoying beating up the crowd! Metallica Rules !!!
Bill Hicks - The Funny American.
Bill Hicks was ahead of his time.
Sadly he died at the age of 33 due to inoperable cancer.
Here is a much loved routine of his:
Bill Hicks RIP
He works on many levels!

Strange Michael J. Fox 80's Ad
This commercial was chucked in my email in-tray.
Maybe it was the Pepsi that gave him Parkinsons?
Things that make you go "shit"
My Top 5 Videos plus 1 What the?
Ooops I fucked up.
I meant to do six video clips.
This should have been at number six:
Eminem, who would never hurt a fly...
But would rap anyone under the table.
O Superman
though one of the best songs ever doesn't count as a good video
And me also.
In the comments on youtube, somebody has posted giant E's!!!!!
WTF!!!

"You Can Get Fucked" -- Kevin Rudd
Yeah it's all a great laugh that Rudd said Fuck.
It's all over the news like a virus.
However, his fuck you in not helping the plight of the homeless, disabled and
aboriginals is not fucking funny.
At least penisoners are getting a pay rise.
Fuck you very much Kev, you've finally entered the nineties.
Now how about some respect for the underprivelidged?
I think Gillard has more compassion in her little finger and could your
job twice as better.
Not being John Howard and slightly left wing is not enough.
Some of us actually have to try and live in this idiot nightmare
of an economy!

Dream Machine, Pepsi and Music.
Firstly to fix something, the actual track I uploaded was "nine pm tuesday"
Secondly I know longer drink Coke Zero.
I have Pepsi because it is weaker.
Had this mailed to me.
It doesn't work.
Some kind of dream machine.

Gonna pop into the city to look at some art gallery's.
First off to Coles for a take away coffee.
Might do some video overdubbing tonight with Karl if he's up for it.
Just put up a painting of Courtney on my facebook.
She said it was "Groovy"
I haven't heard that term for ages!

Singing Sadie at Old Bar - Saturday Night
Just went and saw Singing Sadie rocking the Old Bar.
The staff there make a good coke and lemonade.
The venue was packed out.
Didn't get to watch the other acts that played,
but Made For Chickens By Robots sucked balls.
As usual, Singing Sadie was in top form.
ran into some visiting Tassie friends.
Anyhow, once I saw Sadie a gig where Sadie sang and gargled at the same time whilst writhing on the floor.
True story.
A true entertainer is Sadie.
She can tap dance too.
Sadie's got the skills.
Watching her it's like 1920's style never went out of style.
My fave is "Put down the carving knife"
It's hilarious : - )

I got a cheap one yesterday for $15 dollars.
It has a dragon on it.
Ross the Cool is gonna help me "Bling it up".
Because the council redid the road outside I can go up and down the street.
I will walk around with it like a briefcase,
This I swear to you guys is the truth.

Confectionary Blues
The time is 2:01 am and 55 seconds.
I just emptied my black jacket pockets and I have PK Chewing gum, Whether's Original, fruity Mentos and spearmint tic tacs.
I thought the tic tacs were pink flavour but it was the plastic that was coloured that way as the money from sales goes towards breast cancer research.
It was a peppermint surprise.
A certain woman found this hilarious.
Had some cherry cokes at the Old Bar and talked to Tim from No Vacancy gallery about putting on a show with some photos/paintings.
Hopefully this will happen -
either way I'll always have plenty of sweets!
Listening to Enter Sandman and about to hit the hay.
Yeah.

Bill Hunter in the CBD
No not the debt collector, the man himself.
I was having an asian Coffee on Swanston street and Aussie legend Bill Hunter
went past and he remembered meeting me in Northcote back in 2006.
Although I wasn't then he said I was his friend.
It made my day!
Didn't get any printing done but bought materials
to make t-shirts with!
And the Winners are...
Click in stinky links or just click on here for The Winners.

2. Polyester books on Brunswick Street has Dealing With Post-Human Abilities for five dollars. It's a funny Centrelink piss-take pamphlet.
A perfect gift for your job search manager or psycho flatmate.
3. Ex-Tasmanian rockers Midnight Caller. Currently writing and recording new material. Yes I play the electric bass but Pat writes all of
the tunes.
4. Macaroni and cheese single serve. For breakfast use only. Taken before sleep will induce shitty nightmares.

Might check out the new Tarantino tonight.
Not much to write about beside dreams of Eminem in limbo.
Hence I am posting today one of those "This Year in History" thingies.
Put on your time travel hat kids.
Some interesting picks from 1909:
* 1st Lincoln head pennies minted
*Wright Brothers deliver 1st military plane to the army
*University of Copenhagen rejects Cook's claim that he was 1st to North Pole
*1st radio rescue at sea
*Joan of Arc declared a saint
That's all for now class.

Monday bloody monday
So I am heading to Centrelink this morning to get on the dole.
Guns n Roses playing on my MP3 player.
As I get on the 109 Tram I sneeze and blood starts pissing out of my nose everywhere.
I haven't had a nose bleed for years so it freaked the shit out of me.
After about five minutes of dripping blood into a plastic bag, an old man and an Asian lady helped me with tissues and told me to tilt my head.
The blood stopped dripping after a while.
Soon after I cleaned myself up in the Centrelink toilets and wiped the blood off my camera
with a paper towel.
Kendall at Centrelink was very helpful.
But when I said it would be much easier to apply for a gun than get a dole payment he was not amused...

Clocktower.
Was bored tonight so I filmed Fitzroy Town Hall Clocktower around seven.
You can hear me deep breathing Vader style as the wind blows and some purple light flows in.
Have a watch.
Turn up the volume.

All A Pile of Cheese.
Hello.
Last night we all partied like 1999 but that's another story.
I'm currently listening to The Police, drinking warm coke and smoking a Champion Gold.
Today I got a discount roll $2.50 and mocha coffee from Coles cheap as chips
Went the National Gallery in the city, checking out various crucifixions whilst Eminem
blared from my MP3 player.
There was some kind of peace rally at federation square.
Boring but ran into an old friend.
Thought it was gonna rain but I only felt the one drop the whole time.
On the way back on the tram there was a large teenage girl dressed as Michael Jackson
and a girl with a silver hat and suit.
Fuck knows where they were going.
Going to see Courtney play at the Blue Tile lounge later if I can borrow ten bucks for a soda.
As Ice Cube said "It was a good day, no-one got shot"
Oh yeah last night I dreamt Johnny Cash was trying to disguise as his dead brother
for tax reasons. But no-one was fooled.
Weird shit.
Thriller in the rain
I don't get people who hate rain.
A bus driver and I were chatting once and he told me that it keeps the idiots inside.
In the film Ghost Dog, there's the thing about how walking in the rain you get just as wet as running so you might as well just walk.
I don't carry an umbrella with me I just think it's a negative thing to do.
I'm just not an umbrella person.
I had one once and it turned inside out so I threw it into the river.
I have a hat now though, in case the sun comes out.

Melbourne is Neverland to me...
Being a country boy I find Melbourne to be a big free amusement park.
Getting around on Trams is a fun ride.
Federation Square has an awesome giant tv with trippy ads and weird bent buildings all around.
There are weirdo buskers and freaks of all kind and on Smith Street and you can walk down the road in your pyjamas and people barely blink at you and you wonder if you are dreaming.
I love the 7/11, the cheap food and the absurd magnificence of it all.

Two Cigarettes in the Dark
Two Cigarettes in the Dark
Two, two cigarettes in the dark
He strikes a match 'til the
Spark clearly traces
One face is my sweetheart.
Two, two silhouettes in a room
Almost obscured by the gloom
We were so close yet so far apart,
It happened that I stumbled in
Upon their rendezvous.
I heard my sweetheart whispering
"I love you, I love you, you know that I do."
Two, two cigarettes in the dark,
Gone is the flame and the spark
Leaving just regrets and two cigarettes in the dark.
from 1890's-1930's song lyrics webpage.

Just went and saw District 9
I absolutely give District 9 five stars out of five.
This film is the future of the science fiction action movie genre.
No Hollywood spoon feeding bullshit. Good suspension of disbelief.
Entertaining, funny and a nice amount of pathos.
Hopefully it will become a trilogy.
Don't want to give anything away but if you've seen the trailer it's still
nothing like what you will experience when you have a look.
Nice dirty looking CGI for a change.
This and Star Trek are my favourite films of the year and I'm only half a geek.

Fail!
Pretty much a failure of a day.
So I went to to the Post Office to buy a new mobile.
They didn't have the model in stock. The cashier said that she was sad she couldn't get credit for the sale. So I go to the big Post Office in the city and turns out i don't have enough ID to buy the mobile anyway, after filling out some crappy form.
By this point I'm over the whole thing.
I go to Dick Smith and bulk buy some CR-s and a cable for our digital t.v because the current one is fucked. When I get home turns out it's not long enough at all.
Only good thing was I found a copy of "Tree and Leaf" by Tolkien for one dollar.
One part of the book is thoughts on fairy stories and their origins, while the second part is just a story.
I threw out the old bookmarks, lit up a fag and went home and wrote this.

Mick Molloy dreaming
I just dreamt that Mick Molloy invited my brother and I back to his house after us watching him do a stand up comedy gig.
In the dream Mick still lives with his parents and my brother and I buy cheap boxes of wine and go to get some corn chips from an old lady who wants to charge us an exorbitant fee, claiming they are health products.
We decline buying the corn chips and we head back to Mick's house via Melbourne alleyways but by this time Molloy's parents are shat and we get kicked out.

My night at Horse Bazaar...
Tonight I went to check out some acts playing at the Horse Bazaar in the city.
I got there early before the band started and had some coca cola. I didn't really know what to expect, having not been there for ages.
My friend Karl was there doing some spoken word with backing to promote his Horse Mania DVD. The atmosphere was very friendly. They had a live projection for most of the evening of some guy in Japan listening to the show via internet hook up.
There was free noise, a girl playing the theme from Brazil on recorder, spoken word, some theatre and a noise fuck climax. Excellent smoking area too. I'm too tired to go in to further detail, but if you're in Melbourne be sure to check out this venue.
