Moral of the story: Momus, why oh why are you more known for your blogging habits than your music?!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/blixt/journal/2007/11/29/2bqm_controversial_theory_%231 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:16:27 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/blixt/journal/2007/11/29/2bqm_controversial_theory_%231 Bob Wratten of The Field Mice and Trembling Blue Stars fame is actually not a tortured twee poet, but an incredibly self-obsessed misogynist.

Cookbook Launch

Where do I start? Maybe with the only good things about the night; if this is what Perth art crowds look like, Melbourne ones must be even more unbearably stuck up their own arse by comparison. But I don't actually know that. Yet. So I suppose the only good thing was seeing the human drum machine that is James Baker. Technique and skill ruined drumming - discuss.

Mink Mussel Creek takes the grand prize of being the most awful band I have ever seen. Well, seen and seen, we left after half a minute into the first song, which lasted about 15, retreating outside where we spent the rest of their set mocking them and their utter, utter hideousness. It was as if punk rock never happened. After that, The Painkillers seemed like the most refreshingly entertaining thing to ever happen to music. Suddenly punk rock had actually happened, and all was good. We opted to go get icecream rather than stay and watch New Rules For Boats. Chocolate chip cookie dough icecream beats most bands for that matter. We had got our hopes up for Institute Polaire, who had a lot of potential, but were too loud to be good in our wimpy books, so we left. I did feel very cheated indeed.
Oh, and charging $30 for a cookbook and god knows how much for that "art"? You must be fucking joking. Right?]]> http://www.last.fm/user/blixt/journal/2007/04/09/2bqh_%22there%27s_nowhere_to_go_but_crazy%22 Mon, 9 Apr 2007 18:55:30 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/blixt/journal/2007/04/09/2bqh_%22there%27s_nowhere_to_go_but_crazy%22 My favourite song right now is Lonely Days.

I love it.

Bye bye.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/blixt/journal/2007/02/11/2bqg_when_i_djd_the_other_week Sun, 11 Feb 2007 23:37:44 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/blixt/journal/2007/02/11/2bqg_when_i_djd_the_other_week the only song which made someone come up to me and ask "what's this?" was Shangri-La. My job there was done.
Other notable things on my playlist were If You're the One that Wins the Fight, Orgasm Addict and Bluestocking (note me breaking my own "only one Momus track" rule there), both Bond Street and Ping Pong (not back to back), Une Very Stylish Fille (which got two thumbs up from my friend Tom), Susan and .The Day That Thatcher Dies, which went out to all the tories. Who don't know what love is, of course.]]>
