Great movies: Honey I shrunk the kids
December 4, 2008http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097523/
I have seen Honey I shrunk the kids a number of times. Unfortunately it was completely ruined by the sequels but as a standalone movie it was actually great value. There was plenty of safe fun, lots of non lame commedic situations and jokes and a cool look at the world from a different perspective. [...]
Great Movies: Flight of the Navigator
November 30, 2008http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091059/
I was given this movie on vhs when I was like 7 or 8 and I found it confusing but quite incredible. The concepts behind space travel and relativity of time were simply amazing in a way that I don’t think I could experience any more. It was obviously ahead of its time and cutting [...]
Something Special…
September 17, 2007The “The Avalanches” DJ “Dexter” performs a live at the wireless set at Triple J. This is incredible. Listen to it.
He covers practically every song genre, mixing it all together.

Ben Folds Live
October 7, 2006I did have a huge writeup on how good Ben Folds and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra was but unfortunately due to a brief wifi outage I lost it and all of the interesting anecdotes such as:
Getting told off by a security person, during the solo in ‘philosophy’. (I was sitting in the middle of the [...]
Fall for Jungle
September 16, 2006
Last week we went to see the Whitlams live at the gov.
It was great, here are some pictures.
For the 4th or 5th song (of what seemed like hundreds) they played a breakbeat version of “Fall for You”. Laying in bed this morning I decided I really liked it so I mixed up a version.
So here [...]
Gnarlswriter V2!
August 5, 2006 The general concensus was that it was great but needed a few minor tweaks. When I was making it, I had to keep my speakers down because it was quite late at night and hence didn’t pick up any of that low frequency warbling that anybody with their bass boosted will hear. This latest version [...]
Clubbing for seals
August 3, 2006 Every now and then a song comes along that really hits your groove. ‘Greenskeepers – Lotion’ was such a song and I figured it would go well as a club mix. Enjoy my latest mix, try and guess the song I mixed it with.

Picasso but not
August 2, 2006Some of the most impressive applications that I have been using lately have come out of Google. Its not supprising that they produce such high quality apps because they are good at their R&D but this post isnt about the company no matter how much of a pedestal it is on.
The most impressive of the [...]
Hilltops and Valleys
April 12, 2006I havent written a music related post for a while which is why when I listened to the most recent contribution from our favourite local success story, The Hilltop Hoods. I felt I had to share my thought with you, my reader(s).
The album “The Hard Road” is named parallel to the 3rd track “The Hard [...]
Things I Hate: Manafactured Bands
December 17, 2005I havent written a post about music for some time and from what I hear, music posts are some of the reader favourites.
There are a lot of thing I hate. There isnt much though that I hate as much as manafactured bands. You see… I believe that part of music is about the feeling and [...]
iTuna
December 15, 2005I have never really liked iTunes but millions of people seem to use it for day to day. I don’t know, surely my dislike is based on more than just shallow preconceptions.
No, I have been using iTunes on my mac for about a week now and I still dislike it. Unfortunately there are not many [...]
Top 5 Annoying Songs
July 30, 20055. White Stripes – Doorbell
Starting off with a quite flat drum intro that continues throughout the whole song, this songs 3 lines of lyrics grow tiresome. The song does however have some groovy chords dispite the overall annoyingness of the song. This is a song that you definately love to hate.
4. Speaker [...]
MixMiester
April 14, 2005A long time ago, people may remeber I had a shot at a mix between “Futurama theme” and “YoungMC-Bust a move”. I though it turned out pretty well apart from the obvious beatmatching issues in the middle and some of the verses felt like they droned on.
That was then. Ladies and gentlemen I would like [...]
Not Gorillaz – Gorillaz, No good
I have been a bit shitted off lately as far as one band is concerned.
I really liked the first album of theirs that I acquired. It was pretty gold. There were classics, there were boppy upbeat songs and some novelty bits. It played well and it was good to listen to.
The album that I’m talking [...]
Procrastination
April 5, 2005To the tune of “Greenday – Longview”
Im sitting idle in my tute cos, I’m not switched on
Im fiddiling with my pencils, liquid paper and glue
Faze in and out for just a bit
Sick of all this boring shit
Im dreaming of the great outdoors
but I’m fucking lazy
Cant make no deadlines on time
Always distract myself with lies
Procrastinate until [...]
