So all you music loving, non-music hating, hat wearing, pant loving, toothpick using, underwear hanging, paper-plane making peepety-peeps! DO I HAVE A SWEET LITTLE POST FOR YOU? Perhaps, depends what you like I guess, but hey here it is anyway like that san-choy-bow you didn’t order but they place on your Susan anyway. Blam!

So this voyage has been particularly awesome so far compared to most competitions I have entered in my life, which is not many at all, but it is this way because of the open communication it allows us to have with each other. I didn’t know there were so many people who love music as much as I do, and love writing about it even more so I can say this has been a real eye opener in regards to people and the way technology has effected this. Making contact with people like smalliebigs, erino, benpitcher, stereodan, reebajeeba, jackdavo, Lee52 and Litty litty mc-litty burger has just made me appreciate this comp so much as even if I don’t win (most likely scenario) at least I have had the chance to read some awesome stuff and chat to some awesomely creative peepety-peeps.

Now another thing this has done is allow people to send me music that I like. When I posted my link to my myspace page yesterday I had an immediate response from a Triple J unearthed band I had not heard just saying “I think you will like our stuff”. This seemed fairly direct and personal, as in not some kind of spam scam, so I decided to check it out. BLAM! BLAM BLAM BLAM! Awesome. The dude was right and I did like it, ALOT. Using a gradual building guitar line to start the song, tambourine taps on the off-beat and very emotion ridden lyrics with sweet tones of sensitivity HUSKY create anticipation and thirst for more. Strange description? I don’t think so, if you listen to the first verse I think you will agree. When the piano enters with light chords on the beat it adds to the building of textual layers that take shape like a cake with the slightly harder, more aggressive caramelised chorus resting on top like a cherry. What a beautiful chorus it is too, as the harmonies come in with the lightest of ease as to not deter from the lead and really allows the lead to work the build up in a unique and far from forceful approach. Husky, Dark Sea has made me a clear fan and I know I can’t wait to hear more of their work.

So though I don’t know these guys I know I will make a point of heading to their next gig and getting you kids some sweet sweet coverage so keep your ear to the ground like running bear and I will keep you all in the loopety loop.

Here is the wonderful Mr Leonard Cohen =)

Anyways later hat-wearing spiders and you have a lovely Thursday 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!
