Molly's Bday

Molly's Bday

Molly’s was fun hey, a good pre-drinks with some sick people to kick the night off. I even got to see Steph Bojar which was nice because I hadn’t in ages. But yea everyone was slammed and stuff and I wasn’t even going to go because of study but I got so much done I felt I was entitled to be ruthless. After Molly’s some of us split but majority of us went to mono which was pretty fun. I actually had a sick time and glad I treated myself everyone was heaps of fun and it was a funny night… Hayleigh Dunne in most the photos was like model worthy, like it was 4:30am and she wanted to goto pancake manor. Norman Ramos is a cunt who threw $50s at bar staff and yelled at Ds. Then as we get out of the cab Bennet thought his feud with those bastards wasn't over so he hit the cab as it drove off. The indian pulls over and goes some shit like "you fucking cunt" but imagine that with and indian accent. It was really funny but mega uncalled for...Hells yea.. Thanks for having us Molju.

I Got the Blues

I’m really sick and I have lots of exams in a short period of time. I’m really stressed and just so over it and all my friends are going out for Molly’s B’day and I dunno if I can come L. So yea my stress is reason for lack of posts. My friend from LA uploaded and shared with me this photo a little while ago. Sums up how I’m feeling at the moment. Oh by the way LA soon… light at the end of the tunnel.

Plus when I'm in a shit mood this makes me smile..

The fact that someone made jeans like this.

I have just spent far too much of my time trying to figure out how to upload mp3's on to this blog considering how much work I have to do. I also joined way to many websites claiming to be able to upload mp3's that didn't work. But I think it will be worth it for this song.

HEY!

HEY!

I love this song… The XX remix is sweet as well but I watched this clip the other night when I was feeling good and it was awesome. Enjoy!

Trashwolves Launch

Trashwolves Launch

Trashwolves took place last Saturday on the 8^th of May but my delay in writing as been due to my extremely busy life at the moment. MOTHERFUCKING UNI, CAR FINES, WORK AND COMEDOWNS! Anyway I’m sorry I yelled but I did thoroughly enjoy trashwolves. I kicked off this night by drinking at Mks with a few of the boys. We started here because it was Mks 19^th and he was excited to get amongst it. Ed and I jumped in a car with Jordie and headed to the Herston house to drink more and so Jordie could get his shit and we could get there early for Hameon’s set. On arrival I looked at Ed and went in my head, “wow we are a lot drunker than I thought.” But we got inside had a few more drinks saw Hameon and Ben and shit and I was excited. Hameon was tearing it up on the decks, which was soon followed by Hogan, Smith and Hamish. They all did really well and I wish it wasn’t such a blur. I also went round to the other room to check out the live bands and bumped into mah lil asian pal Chingi who was helping set up all the equipment. I saw the crashlights with my friend Calum (also writes on this blog), which I was enjoying, and I met some cute Canadian girl, which I was enjoying more. I’m such an asshole. I like say to her trying to be all cute and shit, “aww Canada that’s so sick I’m going there in July after LA. I’m just not that was a blatant lie but I needed to lay some groundwork. I lost her and kept being a wandering soul amongst the now extremely loose crowd of people… I left trashwolves at about midnight regrettably but the reason’s I left I won’t disclose on here. I was at mono then empire (both dead) and bumped into a few friends. Tim just informed me we spoke shit for a while but that usually happens because Tim is 100% of the time naturally stoned. His dad fed him hashbrownies when was a fetus. I just think overall it was really good to see heaps of people from school most of whom I actually like haha and yea dance to your friends shit for a chance instead of Danny T the cunt who hates how I’m chopped at all his gig…Fuck you cunt the guy next to me is on meth and the chick behind me shafted dingers…. Hamish and Hameon and shit I’m sure loved that we were all fucked to some degree…. But yea thanks heaps to Smith, Ben and any other contributors to the event. Also thanks to Lauryn the photos turned out sick. I put photos from my camera on here because anyone can access yours on the trashwolves facebook page (add it to see if you got snaped). Next trashwolves is in July I hope to make it but chances are I may be in LA AHHHHH….. Lack of paragraphs in this post.

Crystal Castles (ii)

Crystal Castles (ii)

The new Crystal Castles album is upon us and it’s creatively named Crystal Castles (ii). I‘m listening to it right now and have almost everyday for the past two weeks (since I purchased it). I am an extremely big Crystal Castles fan and enjoyed their first album immensely. I think that Crystal Castles (ii) is just as good as the first album but I haven’t come to the conclusion which one I like better. I think Crystal Castles (ii) has more tracks that are softer than Alice Glass’s usual rash vocals backed by hard, layer electro fuzz. I have not even the slightest idea what any of the tracks are about yet or what the underlying message of the album is but I find it very entertaining.

My favorite tracks at the moment are probable Baptism, Pap Smear and Suffocation. I love Baptism because of dynamic live value. When I saw this live I cried because I was on a lot of shit and Alice kissed me on the cheek… But not only that, it is a terrific song live. Pap Smear is great because Crystal Castles seem to bury the vocals in the song. There is also a lot happening lots of different sounds and layering but not to much where its overwhelmingly shit. Suffocation, well I just really like the reoccurring loop, which builds up at the end. The last 30 seconds there are no vocals just the loop… it’s sick.

I rate this album really highly and I don’t whether it’s because of my overall love for Crystal Castle or I just really like it. Time will tell. I just have it on so much that I hope I don’t get over it….. Rahhh that’s impossible. So you can get it at the moment on itunes which is what I did or you can wait for the CD release in a month. Peace.
