Festivals galore

So i’m counting down the minutes until Big Day Out tickets go on sale. I don’t want to miss out on them like I did when tickets for Falls sold out in like 5 minutes. It’s not all bad tho, i managed to get tickets for Pyramid Rock and Soundwave. So if I add BDO to the list i’ll have the thrice festival wise. I know you’re jealous.

Now how bout some discussion about them seeing as i can’t write three lines and say finish.

Well BDO was rumoured to have the likes of Bowie, Blink, and Placebo headlining and I kind of lost my shit. So naturally i was let down when the only huge band to be announced was MUSE and Powderfinger (huge AUSTRALIAN band). But there’s a 2nd announcement so hopefully there’ll be a few more suprises. With other medium acts like Rise Against, Peaches (what an orgasm would sound like if it was a performer) amongst others and smaller acts like Bluejuice it should be a pretty rocking day

Now for Pyramid. I started considering Pyramid when Falls sold out and i wasn”t that pumped but i got tickets anyway. But now i’m psyched due to their 2nd lineup announcement. It started out being Empire of the Sun, The Cat Empire and The Butterfly Effect being the local big acts with Architecture In Helshink getting a mention in there. Then Grinspoon and Biffy Clyro were added along with a whole other butt load with awesomely small acts British India and Red Riders getting me especially excited. But with the extensive artist list and New Years Eve much drunken fun will be had.

And last but certainly not least Soundwave.Let’s do it short and sweet

Bands i’m so so so pumped to see: Paramore, AFI, Taking Back Sunday, Reel Big Fish and Anti-Flag

Bands i’m medium stoked for: Faith No More, Trivium, Eagles Of Death Metal, A Day To Remember

And i want to get drunk and see MCR so i can beat up emos

oh and the chick from Rolo Tomassi looks hot

Now go and download the new Flaming Lips album Embrionic then go out and buy it too. Also AFI’s new one is worth a listen. maybe some reviews to come later on if you’re lucky. so bye now

Always leaving the title til last when i’m too tired to think of something decent

Geez 5:22 AM in the morning. I think i prefer the hiptop time of 4:22 scrap that 4:23. Why am I up at this bitching hour? It could be the many months of working as a nightfill vampire, me not having any fucking work til Wednesday or my current caffeine addiction in the form of Red Bull. Starting to blank in and out now. slight urge to vomit. that’s probably the result of a 2 o’clock maccas run with the wife which entailed me leaping back over my fence with a considerable amout of saturated fat in my body.

oh and that’s the other thing, i’m annorexic. it’s all the rage in milan at the moment so i thought why the hell not. whoop another blank. so how bout an update on how i’m spending my gap year ey. sounds good. Well as usual it’s fucking pathetic. i’m working all days at the moment on a 32 hour a week contract. looks alright on the outside but it’s actually worse than before. i get paid less to work more hours doing a job i hate. so pretty much it’s a little taste of what i’ll be doing once i’m older but on a considerabely smaller paycheck and having to come home every night to face another barrage of abuse from the rents. with topics including how i waste all my money, not participate in family activities, why i don’t eat right and various other Dr. Phil topics. It used to get to me a bit at first but after a while it’s no different from when my dickhead boss rips me for wearing the wrong shoes to work. i guess i’m just plain not happy. this job. this town. this house. can’t wait to cut loose. these days it seems like my best times are those spend looking at the bottom of an empty bottle.

on a more up beat note i’ve got tickets to soundwave, pyramid and probably BDO and 4 redbulls left in the fridge which should get me through the next 2 days.

oh and sorry for the rather long gap (i hate that word) between posts. hoo roo
