It’s only one second of audio.

I just made my favourite part of Weezer’s Pork And Beans the message alert on my phone.  I’ll probably have changed it back to ‘blip’ by 5pm tomorrow, but I think it’s important to have projects…

The Wildhearts at Download Festival 2008 (via scardwel).

Remember that video of Josh Homme losing it with a fan that threw something onstage?

Last week at Download, The Wildhearts played and actually invited the crowd to throw things on stage for most of their set.

This is the beginning of their last song, before the organisers cut the power on them because they’d overrun.  But not before Ginger had managed to catch an egg someone threw at him.

This was one of the best sets I saw at Download.  You could tell the band were loving it, the crowd was loving it and there was great interaction between everyone.  I wasn’t the biggest Wildhearts fan before I saw them, but I love them now.

Euclid Crash - This Mess

A defunct “Pop Punk/Powerpop/Alternative” band from Edmond, Oklahoma, I ‘met’ the guitarist on a small forum a few years ago and he posted a few songs which I loved.

I ended up importing their 5-track EP called F.M.O. (their only release) from Amazon.com and I loved it.  I particularly like the singer’s voice.

Every now and then, I’ll think about it and play it, or one of the tracks will come up on shuffle and I usually end up playing the whole EP.  I love it now just as much as I did the first time.  This song is my favourite.

Because dental hygiene is important.  Even at music festivals. Don’t adjust your screen, there was a problem with the film, but I kind of like how it looks. (Photo swiped from Ali’s Facebook)

I’m a mumbler. If I’m walking with a friend and I say something, he won’t hear me. He’ll say “What?”. So I’ll say it again but once again he doesn’t hear me, so he says “What?”. But really, it’s just some insignificant shit that I’m saying, but now I’m yelling “That tree is far away!

It’s 11.30 pm, I’ve got work tomorrow for the first time after a two-week break, and Amistad, which is one of those films that you feel compelled to watch (and which is 2 1/2 hours long), has just started on TV.

Tomorrow is going to suck.

Rainburn

Yesterday was a really nice day. I got a bit of sunburn on my arm from sitting outside for a couple of hours, and I was still comfortably wearing a t-shirt outside at 3am.

Today, I’ve been awake for six hours, and it has been raining the entire time.  Not just normal rain, but proper, hammering-down rain, where you can’t understand how there can be so much moisture in the sky.

Sucks.

I was just walking home along the street and a maybe 10 year old kid came cycling up the road.  He was giving it dixie on his bike, like he was trying make a personal best time to the end of the road or something.

As he was getting nearer, I held out my left hand for a high five and he got a big grin on his face, completed the high five and then yelled “Come On!” and picked up the pace even more.

I hope he got a decent time.

I’ll try to make this the last photo from Download that I put up, but this is one of my favourite photos from the weekend.  Heading into the arena on the first day of bands. Ste was taking the photo, so he’s not in it (I’m starting to regret not getting someone to take a photo of all six of us at some point), but this photo just makes me happy. (Photo shamelessly taken from Kelly’s Facebook).

Oops

I am too drunk to go to work…

One doesn’t try to have this problem often, but it happens…

Who wants to call for me?

It’s like reading my diary, only not.
