Kaikoura, Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa (Kia Kaha, Aroha to all) Superthread

Actually I was just too busy drinking wine and forgot and now it's late. This particular space cake kicks in fairly slowly.

Yeah I actually have a feeling whatever the mix was that I got might be a slow burn.

I'm going to be so sad when I leave Melbourne, you know. The local music scene is so damn good and the last couple of years I've really managed to become a fixture of the shoegaze portion of it. I now just show up at gigs without worrying about whether I know anybody going, because somebody I know will be there for sure. It remains the scene that celebrates itself.

 

[Axver]

Remember when a bottle of red left me singing Crowded House lyrics to the Superthread?

Wish I was that much of a cheap drunk these days.

That bastard!

On the other hand, I get to enjoy more delicious alcohol.

But beware, the memes come with an awful curse.

And a free frozen yoghurt, which I call froghurt.

Froghurt and aurora borealis are the two best Simpsons scenes.

Come at me.

For what? A high five?

Good man.

You know the scene I think of practically every day though? "Dial 1-800-DOCTORB. The B is for Bargain!"

You are fully licensed and bonded by the city, aren't you Mr Plow?

[Axver]

Oh good, we've got lurkers again. I wish they'd register and say hey.

 

[coolian2]

"It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography."

I quote that too often

Another I use all the fucking time is "you're living in the past, [relevant name]. Quit living in the past!"

i put together a sofa and chair and somehow stayed up until 8 am.

i miss weed. i can't believe it was easier to find in huntsville than austin. i shouldn't have to be contemplating turning to the dark web or wanting to buy mass quantities when we go back to visit the fam for chrimbus.

My back and legs are ever so slightly killing me

 

[coolian2]

Walking into the stadium gates was a great time for the strained muscle in my lower back to go again.

After four nights of the Crowdies followed by one of Angel Olsen, I can't believe I have any legs left.

LIVING THE LIFE.

I hope at least an hour of that staying up was to enjoy them being super comfortable.

Well now we know what to get you for Christmas.

The third night/fourth morning was when it hurt the most. By Angel Olsen I was starting to get some fitness into them. Maybe I should do this more often.

I'm just surprised the New Guard hasn't attempted to re-form. Lot of people with combat experience floating around in society these days. And history does tend to repeat, albeit as farce. Hey, maybe Corey Bernadi can use the name for his new party.

That reminds me, I remember reading a fascinating book around sixteen-seventeen years ago called 'I Was A Teenage Fascist', about a fellow who, if memory serves me, actually was involved with Eric Butler as a, well, teenager. I got the sense that this world held a certain rock n' roll allure for a particular kind of lonely, precocious boy.

It was all sort of his trip to the dark side and lots of badly-photocopied pamphlets in dingy back rooms, and waking up one day and realising he didn't really have anything against the Indian taxi driver taking him home or whatever.
