Dec. 17th, 2007 09:35 amHey guys,
Bumface and I are going to the Barossa for a dirty wine-drunk couple of days, so I won't have the net. SMS me if anything spectacular happens!
Also on the news front, I graduated Honours the other day with a first class grade, and I got my scholarship to do a PhD! So that's nice. I won't have to make any life decisions for at least another three years!

Aug. 23rd, 2007 10:44 pmTwo weeks ago bumface and I went to see Gotye (pronounced Gore-tee-yeah) at the Gov Hindmarsh and he and his mini orchestra were so much fun, and he is so young and cute and talented I thought I would evangelise a bit. He is somewhat obscure in Australia and so I imagine he's unheard of outside of Aust but he certainly deserves wider exposure.
Heart's A Mess is the song he's best known for. It's catchy and haunting and has some great bass sounds and people went nuts when he started playing it. I love the film clip.
[Error: unknown template video]
Learnalilgivinanlovin has also gotten some radio play, it's a fun Mowtowny number.
( live at Triple J. Pls to note hilarious white-boy dancing by Robbie Buck. )
As you can see, when live he chooses to drum and sing. Bumface almost had an orgasm when she realised this.
Out Here in The Cold is from his first album, so I hadn't heard it, but the six-minute live version was entrancing. He introduced it as the song with too much B-flat, heh.
( Three-minute video version. Lots of Melbourne. )
For the tour he commissioned local artists to make film to be projected behind the stage. I put this here not because the visuals are especially stunning (although they're lovely) but because the song it's for, The Only Way, is a personal favourite and he opened with it and it ROCKED.
( version with extended intro )
This concert footage doesn't have the best sound quality but the waltzy, fun song, Coming Back, is another personal fav, and god! he is so! cute! with his little Cher microphone!
( and it has a flute too! )

Aug. 12th, 2007 05:02 pmbumface is walking around with a Darth Vader helmet/mask (complete with voice modifier) and even though it's dusty and ridiculous it's surprisingly scary, like her head has been eaten by it. The bulbous fly eyes are dead and expressionless and I never before realised how much the design draws from animal skulls in profile. Inhuman and fah-rea-KEY. Even after the character was made 110% ludicrous by the prequel movies the Vader costume still has those scary associations.
have a little faith (in Kripkee-ee-ee)

Omg, bumface is so cute. She's selling her laptop to her dad and right now, as she deletes her user account, she's got Sid Vicious's cover of My Way playing as a send-off. Hee!
ETA: Vicious says, "To think, I killed a cat/But may I say, not in a gay way."
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN A GAY WAY. I MUST KNOW. I MUST.
