I don't hate Sixty Seconds, considering I also heard it for the first time today... But why is it called Sixty Seconds when it's three minutes?

Because it's a punk rock instrumental from Venus and time's different there?

And see you later!

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Wow, that's some aversion, Chass! Any idea how that started?

Well, besides that shredded coconut is disgusting and is essentially like eating shredded waxed paper, and its inclusion ruins perfectly good desserts, and whole coconuts are hairy and creepy and weird...

I know exactly how it started.

When I was little we had this coconut with a creepy face carved and painted on it that my grandfather brought back from Korea or something. The hair on the husk just added a disgusting bit of realism to it. I hated that thing.

 

[mysterious_jen]

hey all, just stopping in to say hi , hows everyones day been ?

 

[Axver]

Hey Jen!

I've had a good day train hunting. Now thinking about doing uni work and what the fuck to do for dinner.

Yourself?

 

[mysterious_jen]

worked, convincing myself to go do more work and get the fuck off the computer.

 

[Axver]

Computer > work.

Also, I found candy canes at a Darrell Lea in the CBD today. WTF? Christmas immediately follows Easter now?

WOW. they arent xmas leftovers ?


i havent heard of anyone getting xmas merch ready in march before.

 

[Axver]

It was so weird. It wasn't marked down to clear or anything like all the leftover Easter stuff is. There were candy canes and packs of Christmasy green, red, and white jelly beans. I took photographs of both as it was so bloody odd.

 

[cobl04]

Axver. Get over to B&C and vote in the PF finals.

Hi all!

Maybe they decided to try a northern hemisphere thing and do Christmas in Winter, which will be what... June for you? And they're just getting a headstart on it.

 

[cobl04]

hey danny how are you ?

I'm ok. Been down at Werribee v Williamstown all day, cos I'm an amatuer journo now....

Yaself?

Oh, some people do hold gimmicky Christmas in Winter things. Often to keep the kiddies entertained or to have a charity fundraiser or whatever.

Personally, I think it's just not Christmas if it's too cold outside to have a barbecue and play cricket.

I imagine Daniel's down here in Melbourne visiting his girlfriend as he usually does over the weekend.

And I can't believe the Cymbaline voters. Then again, I just voted for The Final Cut, not Several Species. See the thread for my rationale.

Ah i see. He hails form Sheppareton or somethin yes?

Can't blame you there. If the Final Cut is best song on The Final Cut, then I'm never buying it. The songs I have from it are boring as hell.

any awe inspiring words for us?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

We haven't had a white Christmas since 2004. And it was really white. We had a blizzard that dumped 14 inches of snow on us (that's what... 35 cm?) It was crazy but awesome. Especially since normally we're lucky to get more than two inches here.

we are going to do xmas in july as an excuse for a work piss up but otherwise never done it .

and im sure it will just turn into
piss up in july .

 

[cobl04]

not too many. I 'write' for Werribee, and they were slaughtered, and I have to be biased and positive.

joyful..


hows the pies?? damn. ah well, got my tip right!

Yeah, he lives in Shepparton. He needs to move his arse down to the big city.

The Final Cut is a complete waste of time. I seriously cannot find one notable moment. It's just complete dullness. Some parts are genuinely bad, but most of it is nothing more and nothing less than dull. So yeah, don't fork out for it, especially as you're the only person on earth who still believes in saving up for each album! I wouldn't even suggest anybody waste their time DOWNLOADING it, let alone buying it.

Now watch as Steph hunts me down and kills me for saying this!

it's all true though... and to think I was going to get into his solo work... if it's like that I might buy it if I develop insomnia or something...

Dave Gilmour for me


Plus I have HUGE respect for Rick Wright.

Any Colour You Like is THE best instrumental I've heard, just edging out Speed of Life by David Bowie.

In 2006, the Dandenongs outside Melbourne actually had a white Christmas! I don't think it snowed much, but the simple fact of the matter is that it SNOWED.

And I've never lived anywhere where it's snowed while I've actually been there.

 

[cobl04]

You know I've never seen snow in real life.

Though it hailed like a mofo for about three m inutes today.

Really? I went down to Stony Point on the train and in the southeast and CBD I just encountered light spitting.
