I'm going to go ahead and assume their tap beers are VB and/or Carlton though, in which case $40 is well beneath what you'd have to pay me.
 
That previous post of mine could be titled "Axver digs himself further into the Brunswick Hipster pit".
 
I live 5 mins from Revs.. Dunno if that's something that I should be boasting about!

St. Kilda is overrated. Don't think I could live there. The festival in February down there is always memorable though. I like having it on walking distance. But the town feels kind of dead most of the time.
 
It died because all the gigs moved to Melbourne/Corner/Inner north no? There's still plenty of good places in St Kilda though. I'd love to live there. Would be my second pick after Fitzroy/Brunswick.

Well, I don't know if it is dead. It's just it isn't as lively as people make it out to be.

Partly, yeah. St Kilda gentrified and became too expensive for the musicians who made it what it was in the seventies/early eighties, so they relocated to Richmond/Fitzroy/Brunswick, and then Northcote. Now, of course, those suburbs have become heavily gentrified themselves - Thornbury, Preston, and Footscray are probably going to be the hipster suburbs in ten or twenty years.

Also, St Kilda just became a victim of its own popularity in that it became more commercialised, and a lot of the small traders got forced out. Also you get those tossers who move to a suburb because it's fashionable, and then bitch about everything that makes the place what it is. You know, the wankers who buy a house next door to a music venue that's been there for years, then lodge noise complaints until the venue just gives up. St Kilda copped shitloads of those.
 
Y'know, it puzzles me as to why four tracks from this album made the Best Of, and yet nothing off October was deemed worthy for the main tracklisting.

And of COURSE they pick the four bad ones, too.
All I Want Is You is bad?
