Hey, you know how when people write about their dreams in their LiveJournal it’s really boring because essentially it’s just fiction? Yeah, shut up. I had two dreams last night featuring musicians, the boys from Nesian Mystik and Alex James, the bass player from Blur. In the Nesian Mystik dream I was driving down the [...]
The WBC were playing at the Civic’s Wintergarden (I mention the Civic part so no one mistakenly thinks that the w00da were providing the soundtrack to a bunch of cruisy gay sex, a la the Wintergarden at the Domain). It was part of the AK03 festival thing. I think at this stage it’s best to [...]
I’m feeling a bit sick. I think I’ve got a bad cold. I feel all achy, I have a runny nose, and just generally feel ill. My mother would advise me to do what her mother advised her. Take a hot bath up to your neck, have a lemon-honey drink (the juice of a lemon, [...]

Perhaps I’m immune to cynical marketing ploys, but the only thing I’ve bought (so far) today is coffee, a sandwich, a drink and a milkshake. Oh, and I bought a bus ticket. That must be it! Yes, those damn marketing people have manipulated [...]
I skanked so hard. I was sweating, there were people around me throwing water, it was a magnificently awesome night. Then at the end of the WBC’s set, they dragged a bunch of the horn players from other bands on stage and conducted a skankolicious version of The Specials’ “A Message To You Rudy”, and [...]
