Famous People you have met who are wankers.
I met Paul Oakenfold about 10 years ago at my uni where he was djing. He was a massive Bell End.
What about yourself?
Turn That Bloody Racket Off.
This is Enter Shikari. They are quite frankly awful and really hard to listen to if your over the age of 14. Seriously take a peek. What other 'modern' artists do the massive also find similarly off putting?
What Time Is It Where You Are?
2:00pm in the afternoon for me.
Series 5 - The Shield - Forest Whitaker
I'm watching it at the moment. Forest Whitaker plays an Internal Affairs detective whose obssessed with bringing The Strike Team down. To say that Forest chews the scenery is an understatement. He's swollowed the whole series whole. Surely one of the best actors in the business currently.
In fact the whole show is ace, if you have Wire withdrawl symptoms then this might ease the pain.
Check out the fan tribute to Forest's performance
I'm going to buy an album on Tuesday. I want you to pick it for me
As the title says: Its payday for me on Tuesday I'm going to buy an album. Which should I get? I want the massive to guide me.
Peace and Love
Metric-Fantasies-Album of the Year
Its not going to be to everyones taste here, but for my money Metric's 'Fantasies' record is album of the year.
There a Canadian band and specialise is a rather fine blend of electro indie rock. But, and here's the big but, despite a youthful fanbase they are definitely a band for adults. There bassist guitarists and drummer are techncially excellent, and all in the mid to late thirties. Their lead Singer Emily Haines has also sung with Broken social Scene, and channels Joan Jet via Portishead.
In short there excellent. I saw them live on Wednesday, and they were absolutly fantastic. They deserve to be your favorite new band.
Whats your commute and where do you work?
I walk to work across Darling Harbour Bridge, into Sydney's CBD and I work as a recruitment consultant *sob*
What about you?
Superstars Passing On
Massive apologies for this being somewhat mawkish(and I appreciate this is my first ever blog) but inspired by Mr Hepworths comment that Michael Jackson was the first ever superstar to die in the Internet age I was wondering what other personalities would have a similar effect on the world if they passed on.
I reckon:
The Queen (only cos it would trigger a constitutional debate that would be endless)
Barack Obama
I can't think of any other personalities from Entertainment unless you go down the Tom Cruise route
Don't know really its fairly hard to say.
