auckland or wellington?

i'm back from nashville/memphis on the 16th. just putting it out there, if it's doable.

 

[Alisaura]

Also, how can a wet rosehip/hibiscus (ie, very red) teabag stain a piece of paper towel blue/black?! What is this, iodine on a potato?

World's gone mad, I tell you.

Ah cool, I was wondering if you'd be around - we're just hitting up Auckland this time. I want to do Wellington/South Island but I think that'll have to wait until later in the year.

I think my Doctor Who DVDs have arrived!!

Fingers crossed Region 2 DVDs work in my housemates' DVD player...

 

[Axver]

If they don't, go buy a cheap, shitty DVD player from K Mart. It'll be regionless. Ours cost us $30 I think, and for such a huge setback, we don't have to worry about regions, and it's going strong after a fair bit of usage.

 

[bono_212]

You guys have K MART of all places? That's so weird. I'm not sure why I feel that way. Maybe because of how many of them close down here all the time.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Man, there's heaps of K Marts here. And Big Ws. I'm not sure if that's an alternate name for Wal-Mart or a separate business altogether.

remove some pms, if you will, bonnie.

Done. Soz bro

I love shopping for clothes at K Mart, they sometimes have ridiculously stupid clearance sales. I bought a pair of jeans there for $1.50 once.

 

[Axver]

Heh, I'd heard K Mart was pretty unhealthy business-wise in the US, but the Australian version is going strong. As far as the cheaper end of the market goes, here the big department store war is K Mart vs Target (I have always perceived Target as SLIGHTLY more classy); the upper end of the market is Myer vs David Jones. Then below K Mart/Target you have the really shit places like The Reject Shop or Crazy Clark's, the places where somebody who drinks port like me fears to tread.

Man, there's heaps of K Marts here. And Big Ws. I'm not sure if that's an alternate name for Wal-Mart or a separate business altogether.

I had, for whatever reason, been under the impression that Big W was the department store arm of Woolworths.

I'm probably completely wrong.

 

[Axver]

Incidentally, I'm not even really sure where Big W fits in to the K Mart/Target sort of battle because there really haven't been many around where I live. There's only one that's convenient to me in Melbourne, compared to a good few Targets and K Marts, and I can only think of the location of one Big W on the Gold Coast and it wasn't half convenient.

It's like watching a stillborn baby play out its life in an IMAX theatre near you.

"Chelsea, some stupid Italian radio show took it upon themselves to just play it way early! One person heard it from here, and that is it, too late to do anything about it, hope they get sued! "

 

[LemonMelon]

For starting our anguish early?

 

[bono_212]

"Chelsea, some stupid Italian radio show took it upon themselves to just play it way early! One person heard it from here, and that is it, too late to do anything about it, hope they get sued! "

"Oh, they'll be getting a major fine, that we know. I bet the band doesn't give a damn, but EMI will have their butts for any amount of money they can get "

This almost makes me curious.

Pitchfork: Album Reviews: Radiohead: Kid A

The experience and emotions tied to listening to Kid A are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax.

 

[LemonMelon]

Axver, sacrifice your masculinity with us and listen to Chris Martin not only cry a river, but a waterfall that attracts tourists the world over.

 

[bono_212]

You know you want to

BBC - Radio 1

 

[bono_212]

OH FUCK. They're playing an acoustic version of "In My Place" and the guitarist just hit the wrongest of wrong notes.

 

[bono_212]

And Coldplaying has crashed. It's time.

 

[cobl04]

Do Myer/David Jones stock shit other than clothes? I wouldn't know I've never been

And yeah, those Reject Shop/Crazy Bargains stores are horrific.

 

[cobl04]

does anyone here have Cosmogramma on CD? it's on sale for $13 at JB, and i wanna buy it, but only if it's got a booklet. if it's just a piece of cardboard and a cd, then i'm not paying for it. anyone tell me? to afraid to ask in b&c.

 

[cobl04]

Listen
I've been drinking.
As our house
Lies in ruins.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Alone.
In the dark.
At the park or at the pier
Watching ships disappear
In the rain

 

[Axver]

What the fuck, Essendon, what the fuck.

 

[Axver]

God am I glad I had some booze to soften the blow of that second half.

 

[bono_man2002]

Just bought the coldplay song from iTunes. Not brave enough to listen after the little sample om iTunes.

 

[Reggo]

Do you think its worth cutting ties with "dofus" completely? I know that's easier said than done.

^ This.

Put me down for a x2 after the "this".

I'll scare him off well enough.
