Reading festival was immensely awesome, besides the fact that I had a painful jaw the whole time.
Just before going to reading I needed a tent. I went on good advice to check out Argos, and it was a totally different shopping experience. You get this catalog which is about 4 inches thick, and you type [...]
Quick rundown;
Monday I went out to downtown, past Grant Park to the Field Museum, saw Sue the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Bushman, some taxidermy, and mummies. Diana organised me to meet her mother and friend, and after the museum we had some traditional Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, and my god, it was fucking excellent. I still approve [...]
Today went on ultimate tourist rampage, went to Little Italy for lunch, did Empire State Building for the view and Madison Square Garden for a gig.
Little Italy was fun. Walking around, I heard it was much better at night, so probably tomorrow night I will check it out. It’s also next to Chinatown so had [...]

I really liked their EP Persona and their album Themeta but haven’t really listened to Sound Awake that much, on initial listens I [...]
Read the rest of this entry »I used to love the shit out of COG. I really enjoyed The New Normal, and their EPs. I went to see their gig at Coogee Bay Hotel, and it wasn’t too bad, but it doesn’t have the same vibe they used to have back in my UOW days. I’ve seen these guys at least [...]
Read the rest of this entry »I love Ladytron. I love the very pretty girls in it, the irregular meaningless lyrics, electroclash style with deep basslines and rhythmic drumming, uses of synthesiser backed with a mix of English and Bulgarian vocals. I really love their album work. However live, it’s a different story.
For those who haven’t heard the story of Ladytron [...]
