it's French, it's AWESOME!

So here are 3 French Artists in order of COOLNESS.
these 3 bands/groups/individuals are totally awesome

#1 - Sebastien Tellier



Yes, he looks like the leader of a cult that preaches all things sexual. but this man's music makes you want to grown a moustache and do the flamingo with a rose in your teeth, its just that sexy.

he was one of France's 2008 Eurovision song contest entrants with Divine (Best Filmcip ever!)

song of the week

real dodgy DJ set Feb 2009.

i was going to upload a DJ set i literaly just made.
but after listening back to it, i have chandged my mind for 2 reasons.

1 - it was the 1st take ever. i had done no practices whatsoever.


2 - i may have had a couple beers and thought that i was making sounds much better that they are actually were!


so im going to leave it for now, and upload a second one after a few listens, and a few more practices.

is it so wrong...

... to like this album



it came out in 2007 and was seen as a bit of a last grab at some limelight before retirement for the 40something year old.

this was supposed to be her 'comback' album but was a bit of a flop becase the oly people who cared were die hard fans.

however coming from kylie this is an awesome album.

check it out

Finally!

YAY!






I got a sweet deal! a $1000 mixer for $600! woo

First Dog

This morning as i ready a very important article on Short Sharp Science regarding the new "first dog" to be entering the white house with Obama (WOO!) i was amazed to discover that pets of the white house all have THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT WEBSITE!!!!!.

Prediction - Late of the Pier

before im too late i just want to make a prediction.
Ever since stumbing across UK indie electro rockers Late of the Pier i have been a total fan and have envisioned big things for them.

So with tthe release of their debut album 'Black Fantasy Channel' i just wanted to say, that big things are headed their way, so keep an eye out.

the first time i visited thier myspace they were up to 11,000 page hits. Now they are up to 160,000. so there you go.

Ba-na-na cake

It's a fine saturday evening, im drinking a beer and munching on a piece of banana cake.
so with nothing better to do i typed 'Banana cake' into youtube.
and it came up with this surprisingly good song:



and with a little more research...
found his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/workingclasssuperstar

Grace Jones

"If you could meet 5 people alive or dead, who would you meet?"
One of mine would definatley be Grace Jones.

She is the epitome of late 70's/80's coolness. she ate men for breakfast, hung out with Andy Warhol, spat on gender stereotypes, and made some pretty awesome tunes.


mmmmmm, who can resist those broad shoulders


Grace Jones - Nipple to the Bottle


Grace Jones - Pull up to the Bumper

The Mac

In my pursuit for knowledge and never ending happiness i discovered some while back that fleetwood mac are pretty awesome.

So i thought i'd do kind of an appreciation post.

so here are 2 of my favorites

The Chain-

Seven Wodners-

'Ante Up' (Ernie & Bert cover)

Tokyo pics

Off to Tokyo

So Kyoto has proven to be an awesome awesome place. It is quite small, but its very beautiful and exciting.
We are off to Tokyo tomorrow morning for 2 nights. its gunna be crazy and full on and super exciting.

Today i basically spent recovering as i got home this moring at 8:30am.
We went out to various bars and clubs in Kyoto with Sam, who has been on exchange here for the past 6 months. At 5:30 this morning as the sun was rising we went to a Karaoke. which was AMAZING. totally different from Australia, you hire a room for a certain amount of people and order drinks via phone, its a really fun and friendly. I sang woo!!
