Clickety clickety like bones on a notebook

Some things have such a distinct sound you could pick it out of the busiest street-noise soundtrack ever created, yet others just whisper past your ears and only the ears that truly seek it will find the source in the messy crowds. That’s source, as in where the sound is coming from, not sauce like tomato, BBQ, hollandaise or any other form of relish for that matter. However this being said, when your ear does pick up that source and can track it, this is an opportunity one should relish and endeavour to hold on to like a good meal with a delicious sauce.

ANYWAY!!! What I am trying to get to is some music that has been following me around the last couple of months. It has sweet undertones and it’s harmonious beauty was delicate and hard to track through the deep dark musical forest. I was however informed by our good friends trip-trip-jiggety (triple J), that the sounds I seek are indeed that of Dead Man’s Bones. As I was writing this I actually stumbled across another blog discussing these guys, and though I do not wish to copy, I feel as this site is dedicated to blogging I should not hold back in writing about that which inspires me, so Lee52, I am sorry, but I am just going to mention them quickly not go into too much deets about it as you covered them beautifully. You should all check out her amazing writing/videos also, I am jealous of her abilities and she is really good at this stuff http://www.myworldtour.com.au/member/default.aspx?mid=25440

So as I was saying these guys are awesome! They are doing a bit of what seems to be the in thing at the moment, which is using kids choirs to add texture to their tracks, but I think it is well executed and works well with their overall style. I think a personal favourite would have to be Name In Stone, awesome!

And perhaps My Bodys A Zombie For You

Anyways, as Lee52 discussed and described these guys so beautifully I will not go too far into this but I do do do really really really enjoy their music and style!

Now tomorrow I am hoping to hook you kids up with a nice review and hopefully some new pics as I am going to the final gig for “The Slightly Mexican Tour” from local Sydney artists Boy and Bear. This is the last show and if anyone is keen on going along you will also be able to see Paper Scissores and The Boat People. It’s at the Stag in Leichardt and should be a cracker. If you wanna check em out I mentioned them in an earlier blog or you can see them at http://www.myspace.com/boyandbearmusic

That’s it for now, now go check on your pancakes, they could be burning. Looks like you fogot to feed the cat too and Uh Oh! I think I smell off milk... YEOW!

Movember

"A moustache is the international passport to pleasure and I can walk proud with one knowing that people perceive me as a man of considerable wealth and knowledge." And with this statement thousands of men around Australia and from around the Globe embark on a mission of raising awareness, and spreading the message that Movember stands for. The message that screams "Hey look, I have a moustache. It is disgusting and embarrassing, but not nearly as hard to confront as depression or prostate cancer, so I will wear this with pride hoping that it empowers people to deal with these issues."

I know that ever since its inception in 2003 it has grown exponentially into one of the most recognised charity events of the year and has in the 6 years of its existence raised AUD$62 Million globally. That is a lot of money and a lot of moustaches. If you are interested in checking it out or participating I suggest you hit up the website and register, or donate http://tiny.cc/2efsX

Who wants a song to listen too today? Is it you? Is it the guy next to you??? Well whoever it is who wants a song to listen too, just click here. http://tiny.cc/SJ1CU Mumford and Sons are all the talk at the moment and this song is pretty much the one getting played over and over, but for any of you have not heard it, have a listen and just enjoy its Folkie feel. Bit of a language warning, as I don't want any of you kiddles to hear some of the words, but I think that this is a song where the use of bad language is absolutely necessary.

Also for anyone who has heard his music before, Bob Evans has a very sweet unique style which I find irresistible. Anyone who purchased the covers album, No Mans Woman featuring Australian Male Artists covering well know Female songwriters songs, will be familiar with his soul and tone, and know he has a unique ability to bring out beauty in the track. This is a track he recorded in the My Space studio's in Melbourne but I suggest you get out and listen to some of his music, very interesting so che-che-check it out! http://tiny.cc/z76qD

DING DING DING DING, woops, that's the doorbell. Gotta run amigos, I hope you have enjoyed and if not, let me know. If any of you are interested in giving some feedback hit me up with a direct message on twitter http://twitter.com/_egg So for now, much love peeps. Take care.

YEOW!

Quick like a ninja!

Hello lovely peeps, so first up here is a track to get you nice and chilled like an iceblock in summer, I hope you enjoy it, I love iceblocks, it inspired me to write to you actually http://tiny.cc/yyH2u

So today I have had one of those great moments when you do a music swap with someone and get to listen to some music you know you should have heard heaps before but for some reason never bought the album or made it to the gig or whatever. The Black Keys are on of those bands for me, and I have watched recorded live sets and all, just never actually gone out of my way to get the music... I am kicking myself. Love is what I have for them YEOW!

This same person, who partook in el'music swapp'o, has also pointed me in the direction of a very clean, awesome and just really cool photography website. http://tiny.cc/FlaKs The photographer is Andrew Zuckerman and this is a site dedicated to photos and films of birds and wowzers, the ways in which they have been captured are amazing. Beautiful shots and inspiring imagery. I actually spent about two hours collectively checking out the images on offer and just admiring the goodness i am tasting with my eyes.

Like I said quick like a ninja so next topic.

I just wanted to mention that today is the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall so I thought I would share the video the Sydney Morning Herald have compiled to reflect upon this http://tiny.cc/cRB5U I found it quite intriguing and insightful as it gives you a feel for some of the experiences of inhabitants from both sides of the wall. Also just seeing the faces of the people, it shows that all were effected by its presence. Such a giant historical event which effected and touched so many peoples lives. The photos really do capture the emotion beautifully.

Alright awesome peepety kiddle-whats, that is it from me today, like I said quick like a ninja. Slice, dice and everything you once thought was awesome. Have a top weekend kids, Jeni's out YEOW!
