Porching, People watching, and Don't forget the Lyrics

One of my fav Banksy paintings. Banksy Rocks.

Sometimes I think I could sit on a porch/stoop for an entire day just watching the world go by. Today I Went to a friend's front yard and just watched the world go by. It was awesome! I think people watching is better in the city though. I went to the Ivy on a Thursday and it was so good for people watching such a crazy mix of people and personalities. This one lady had clearly been there all day and hooked up with 3 different guys and then took her shoes off to walk down the stairs. What are your favourite people watching stories?? Hamish and Andy brought it up on their show a while back man they're funny. I also enjoy commenting on Fashion while i'm at uni. seriously you should see what these people leave the house in. Thigh High socks with matching berets! Don't get me started on crazy purple Croc and purple velvet pants blackboard cleaner man...

 

Also tonight saw the return of Don't forget the Lyrics perhaps the greatest game show ever where all the contestants do is sing songs and guess lyrics millionaire style. The contestants are so crazy and fun they must audition them.

Don't Freestyle much but i write em like such word!

So The title doesn't really help with what i'm talking about but whatever it's a fun lyric.

Party Dress codes. I have noticed an increasing number of people who disregard dress codes at 21st's or other social engagments. I feel its the height of rudeness and its not hard to dress appropriately. Here are some rules to follow.

Smart Casual- Contrary to popular belief, this classic dress code for boys is pants and a collared shirt. jeans can sometimes work but it depends on venue and the host's personality.

Cocktail- Wear a suit, it's not hard everyone has one. If you wear jeans even with a jacket you aren't dressed appropriately and i will think less of you. T shirts aren't cocktail i don't know why anyone would think that!

Black Tie- Tuxedo. not hard

White Tie- Tails never done but wouldn't it be fun!

Fancy Dress- Try to make an effort, i always try to wear something that i can either throw away, or take off and look normal. i'm not a fan of going all out on an outift and having to trample through the cross dressed like an idiot at 6am.

That was a quick rant but it's important stuff. I'm also a bit annoyed at what counts for a cocktail dress these days.


Here is P.E rapping outta 1998

Public Enemy- He got Game

MGMT vs Billy Joel

So MGMT is probably the breakthrough artist of the year. Their album rocks and all the kids are saying how cool they are for knowing who they are and buying a ticket to their show. Alas Billy Joel the piano man himself is once again touring downunder. Dilemma! What to do, the concerts are on the same night! The videos below will help you choose.

MGMT- Time to Pretend (you saw it on gossip girl)It's ok i guess



Billy Joel- Scenes from an Italian Restaurant


For me Case closed. See you at Billy Joel

A musical Interlude

After that trip down blog memory lane here are some fun songs

This first one is by Mercy Arms. A mate from school is the lead singer and i saw them at Luna Park once. They rocked good listening music. Their new album is coming out or is out.

Mercy Arms- Half Right


This next one is a song you should know, and i'm dying for john the piano man at Minksy's to play it but i don't think he will. Apparently its huge in colleges in America, but i found it on The wedding singer during Adam Sandler's wedding. It was used in the Soprano's and somewhere else i forget. STEVE PERRY!!

Journey- Don't Stop Believin'

All this in love, Rainbow Stylin'

COPS- stun gun special and weddings


So once again COPS has pulled through with a stun gun special. Every conflict in the show was solved by using a stun gun! the best being the guy with a knife threatening to kill himself then this SWAT guy came up behind him and zapped his Ass! it was awesome!!!!COPS is easily the best tv show ever made.

talking about the best things ever i have a new one. Weddings! they are the bomb! the best food and best drinks for free and everyone looks hot because you dress nice coz its a wedding! they are certainly a level above 21st's. 21st's are good but people go all out for weddings and its awesome. Wedding crasher's the movie has become a whole lot more relevant since i have actually been to one. I have decided to get married heaps of times just so i can have a kick ass wedding! so loose guys so loose!

Musings on diet coke and group photos.

diet coke and group photos


isn't it cool that as social people if asked usually by a PLC girl or Rosie for a group photo the arms around people almost instantly rise so that you usually know the person next to you but the person at the other end you may have never met before but by the time you look at the photo you will have met them and probably become friends. kinda cool isn't it.

in other news i wish diet coke cans came as 400mls coz whenever i finish i just want one more sip. like who decided on 375ml anyway its stupid just make it 400ml and leave me totally satisfied



This is a song by one of the guysd from Justice, the singer from the Bumbleez and a guy from Soulwax. it tears it up. I thought i'd brighten things up with a song rather than clogging this page with verbosity.

I must've been enjoying uni at this time

Another Myspace ripoff about uni

Gus about uni
Current mood: jubilant


Hey i totally want to go back to uni! i love that every day feels different and irregular even though you do the same thing every week. you get to see someone different every day. the best thing is if its hot you can wear shorts and if it's cold you can still wear shorts, you don't even have to go to class but if you do, you might even learn something interesting that you actually enjoy learning about. i love driving to uni but i don't think i will as much because i want to go to every uni thing this year make the most of hopefully my last year. i like that you can have those regular people you meet up with in a break and that every time someone different can and will join in i like uni better when its sunny though not so fun when its raining. i get challenged at uni and its fun! yay uni! i want to go back!



much love

field day related epiphany
Category: Music


a new year brings with it some new musical rants. so busted out majorly at field day on the first of january and it was awesome! and raises some questions on my U2 related musical epiphany but i think i figured it out. dance/house music is just sooo post-modern it's all about instantaneous pleasure of the body rather than anything with greater substance and as such doesn't tend to last long before getting overplayed and losing it's significance it's the reason why you're ipod needs constant updating as as soon as one song is good another will replace it.

Perhaps i only enjoyed field day coz i got wasted spent all my money and was with an awesome group of people rather than the music i saw (presets in the rain was wicked good though) apparently kaskade played? if the music had more substance would i have enjoyed the festival for its musical merits just as much as the company i was in? time will tell will see if in thirty years i'll be listening to the presets greatest hits III and going to a field day renunion tour starring a 60 year old mylo. doesn't mean house is shit music it's awesome for the moment but i think it might lack the identity and substance to be retained for years to come. whatever that was pretty heavy i need to go back to uni!

All Aboard!!!

So this is a blog...

The first carriage of the G Train. Exciting stuff. Hope people read it, wouldn't that be exciting!

here is a song i found on my brother's Ipod and it rocks hard. They're called Metronomy and they're coming out for the Sydney Festival in january. Let me know if you want to go and i'll come!
