Seriously? Do you mean it will always be an average, action flick.

Always awesome:
Warner Brothers cartoons (bugs, daffy, elmer etc.)

Noir films.

The latter, unfortunately.

And if you think Katter is scary, don't forget that there is a sizeable portion of australia that are with him, all the way.

The only way to change it is to smash it to pieces.

Even when you smash it, there's a bloody good chance you'll make another machine just like the one you smashed.

So we can never win. Although it's fun to smash things.

I like you J, you got vision.

Noice! Thanks Huge.

Splitting Music and Off-Topic forums is what killed (fatally wounded?) MBC, IMO.

Damn, this looks good.

They have ableton and other stuff to fix that, nowadays.

Nice space, 'kitty.
I like the current show, and you're right, the works are really cheap.

Looking forward to making regular visits.

quiet roar

Doubt I'll make the opening but I'll definitely try and make it down later in the week.

quiet roar

My boys are excited so that's cool. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, too.

Meredith is looking big, again.

quiet roar

So I got tickets.... but i'm not that excited, tbh.

quiet roar

Old school, nu school. Ah, those were the days. Occassionally I miss the breaks when I hear some of the old tunes.

quiet roar

Good album, definitely. And I will definitely take no.1 son to the gig, if they play somewhere I can take him. Actually, now that I think of it, the other two will also want to go, which could make things very expensive. Maybe I should be hoping they don't play all ages venues.

flippo wrote:How many of you still sit and listen to an album in its entirety, in the order as intended by the artists?

I do, but then, I am an old fart who hates the whole download approach to buying music.

How else are you supposed get to know those tunes that take a while to love?

quiet roar

My eldest son will be excited. Me, not so much.

In the last two months I have read: http://grab.by/5um5 Incredible book and the best thing I have read in YEARS. Absolutely epic at 650 odd pages long but smashed through it in a weekend away. Basically a post-vampire apocalypse story set in a depopulated North America. Started reading that and rea...

Downside will be travelling 2+ hours per day. Worth it, though. Especially when we're sweltering through those god awful summer nights.

Nice one!

Mind the hipsters.

quiet roar

^^ Sure can, kitty.

I am definitely intending to pop in, but a buddy wanted to have a look beforehand so I'll send him the link.

Space looks great, btw. Well done!

quiet roar

Hey Kitty, is there anywhere non-facebook people can view the work?

quiet roar

Nice work, kitty! I'm sure it wil be a hit.

Good line-up, though.

You mean like the way they judge me by my personality when they move in and take over an inner suburb i have lived in for years prior to them knowing it existed, and look me up and down and snigger at the un-coolness of my threads, that i threw on to walk around the street to get my Sat am wake up ...

ghetto kitty wrote:so i read the first 'girls with the dragon's tattoo' by Steig larsson

anyone read 2&3 - worth buying?

If you liked the first, you will like the other two. Main character becomes a little more "superhero-ish" but they're still very good.

quiet roar

I believe everything is jazz - especially life. It is the greatest word in the English language. And I thought I was a fan. :lol: Sonny Rollins is great, aroes, no doubt. I love Saxophone Colossus, and The Bridge is likewise awseome. I'm so excited about seeing Mulatu Astatke tonight, I may wet mys...

Free jazz festival gig at fed square tomorrow afternoon, 3-5. Featuring Mulatu Astatke!

Recent highlights: Tofu Landing by Evan Maloney, Hearts and Minds by Amanda Craig, The Norseman's Song by Joel Deane. I highly recommend all three. Bob Franklin's short stories, Under Stones are wonderfully dark. Another good collection of short stories is "Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It&q...

Lucky for foods full stop = bad for being good and wallet tho.....

Magnificent mee goreng at Baba House, on Errol. Or at least there used to be when I was last there.

^ Wanted to go that one. Glad to hear it was good.

Can't wait for Mulatu Astatke at the forum in a couple of weeks.

Sorry YI, I haven't heard "Frank" so I was thinking of her soul stuff. Reminds me to track it down - thanks!

quiet roar

Disappointed I can't go this this.

quiet roar

Yeah, Amy ain't jazz.

shepherd wrote:it will sell out literally in seconds - regardless of price.

Was thinking the same thing. I'm pretty sure they are not concerned with making it a "fair price" when it sells out every time.

I'm more of a side-show person so can't say I care too much.

I can also vouch for them. Tiba's is better but the van does a good kebab.

gone downhill i reckon. used to be awesome a couple of years ago but not so much nowadays.. Agree gnat. Changed owners and they scaled down the menu - don't really eat there anymore.

Never was a fan, except for the trip-hop styles. Getting more of an appreciation over the last couple of years but similar to the dnb mc, I often want the rapper to shut-up so I can better hear the beats. The call and response thing at live shows is really annoying too, IMO - I will "make some ...

Yeah, I must admit few of these types sprinkled through the crowd ain't a bad thing.

How do I choose who cares, I'm not getting one?

ghetto kitty wrote:I am not liking the fact that i turn 31 this year. 30 was cool, 31 is not.

Would you rather be turning 21?

Don't know how you can handle hanging out with young'uns all the time, kitty. Maybe it's the extra decade I have under my belt, but I have little tolerance for most young people, nowadays.

quiet roar

Well done Witty!
