Triple J's One night stand!

Triple J listeners from all over aus trekked it many miles to Dubbo last weekend to support the J's One Night Stand, a completely free festival advertising and supporting the best Aussie acts going round!

Featuring Flume, The Rubens, Ballpark Music and Seth Century it was a weekend worthy of a lot more than a gold coin donation!!

Sinead and Shane's.

There's no better occasions to eat, drink, play and be merry than a wedding!

The 23rd was a day to remember as my beautiful friend Sinead married the love of her life, Shane.

The sun was scorching and with a slight afternoon shower it set the scene for a perfect day. The girls looked the business, the boys looked like gentlemen and the bride and groom left everyone with a grin.

Perfect weather, great food, flowing drinks and quality company. Happy Saturday, Mr and Mrs. Barrow!

Cash money billionaires.

Cha-ching and welcome to planet Earth,
the only place you can find that depends on something that, when you think about it, doesn’t exist.

Money does not exist.
Sure the cotton paper it is printed on exists, so does the ink, the thin plastic cover, but currency does not, it is a figment of the worlds imagination used to categorize people, who do in fact exist. We depend on something not-real to classify a very real world.

If you find a note and close your eyes does the note feel any different to any other, does it feel like five dollars or ten, without having another to make comparisons I’m sure you would find it very difficult to recognize your own wealth.

If i were to cut a piece of paper, same size and thickness of a cheque would you be able to distinguish between a small fortune or a piece of cotton blend reflex.

With this way of living we are dependent on poverty to raise our dollar, yes, we are dependent on the hunger stricken, diseased ridden, homeless lives of those that are on the opposite end of the money system to make our dollar worth while, every cent you spend, where does it go?

Theres books written about, songs sung about it, people have died for it and from it, lives are lived behind bars because of it and when you need a solution to a problem its usually the first go to answer.

Even 1000 A.D people began to feel the same way “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” was first phrased thousands of years before our century.

Money is very well able to buy you a house, but will not buy you a home, it can buy you a bed but not a good nights rest, it can buy you a person, but not love, it can buy you a position but not respect. Money is the root of all evil because it depends on the sorrows and hardship of others to progress in a cycle where only the richest, the toughest, the lonesome are most favourable.

Right now the worlds debt is a negative number, that means there really is no money at all. Money is an illusion used to control us, it's like a magician forcing a card on you, free choice is the illusion.

Soundwave '13

Soundwave kicked off 2 weeks ago and if you frothed on the lineup as much as I did; with Metallica, Stone Sour, Slayer, Bullet for my Valentine, A Perfect Circle and plenty others you can understand why I went twice.

Metallica was probably one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen, in both Sydney and Melbourne! Bullet brought a standard crowd of angry teens and sounded a lot more together than their last tour, APC felt like I was watching history (considering they haven't played together in years), Stone Sour's Corey Taylor made you want to quit your life and become a groupie and Slayer...actually turned up this year, avoiding another metal head riot.

Not much can be said about Blink, I've wanted to see them since I was 16 and I wasn't at all impressed. Bring me the Horizon, Amity Affliction and Motion City were fun and sounded great and Mindless Self Indulgence was electric as ever!

All up it was an incredible tour with once in a life time acts to see.

Oh and I did a stupid amount of shopping, Melbourne sends you broke.

hipsters are ghey.

I will buy doc martens, i will wear them with dresses and headbands and listen to only underground music of the indie genre. I will attend starfuckers every saturday; ruining it with my overtly pretentious aura. I will make a blog and shave one side of my head, i will always be angry and frustrated, i will shop at vinnies and dangerfield, i will wear prescription glasses with the lenses popped out, i will take up photography and wear band shirts, i will rip holes in all my jeans and only listen to triple j, i will quit my job and get stoned everyday. I will form an indie band, i will become an on-again off-again lesbian and i'll only type in helvetica, i will hate my parents and never wash my hair, i will delete my facebook, i will buy stupidly expensive clothes from general pants and op-shopping will become my monday ritual. I will fall in love with long haired hippies and get a moustache tattooed on my index finger, i will dye my hair an odd colour and watch movies at the dendy, i will form my own clothing brand and sell it at glebe markets. I will move out of home and become a poor arts student, i will use photography apps to make my everyday iphone photos look vintage, i'll smoke rollies and only attend warehouse parties where i'll sip on my canned cider because i've recently developed a self diagnosed gluten intolerance.

The harlem shake, yo!

It appears that once again the youtubbing world has had more than a few giggles at the ordinary, mundane lives of businessmen and office workers alike who have stopped their schedules for 30 whole seconds to do.....THE HARLEM SHAKE!

Check out some of the originals, then when you're done check out the one my mates made to farewell our brother from another mother, Michael - who has left us all for a European adventure!
