like pohdos to the SLAUGHTER

i can post stupid pohdos of myself too.

stitch one

i'm trying out all the bells and whistles on my whizz bang pohdo contraption.
stitch assist is nice. here's my first attempt. you really need a tripod. but still.

the camera arrives. and they are happy.

so the new camera arrived today, i'm very happy.
damn, it's small. let the pohdo wars begin.
to start, a shot from the balcony of my work.
each step takes a thought, each moment requires action.

do that to my anatomy...

This is my favourite record at the moment. Their last two albums were no stinkers, but they never lived up to the aural hype nor their always-splendid cover art.
This record, on the other hand, is truly superb.
They're a two piece now, and have really stripped back their sound - distorted guitars, fuzzy keys, linear drum patterns with Trish's deadpan and slightly surreal vocals. So simple is the construction that it allows the music to breathe, and you to breathe with it.
I'd always found them to be a closed book prior to this record, but Tender Buttons is a raw and open masterpiece.
And I'm only slightly exaggerating.

GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY

This Sunday night promises to be glorious night. The last time I saw Diamanda Galas, I was blown away by her raw power and intensity - her sheer awe-inspiring presence on stage. Her rendition of Johnny Cash's Long Black Veil is a wonder to behold. Anyone with even a passing interest in music and what it can really be about should make the effort for this gig! Adelaide Town Hall, this Sunday yo!

the camera doesn't lie

this is soon to be my pride and joy. i can't wait! it's such a nifty little beastie, all the bells and whistles and shit.
hee hee!

toulouse my way in the world
