No, I don't study; you? Aw, you're making paintings for her nursery, that's cute. :) God no, another week starts. Sunday evenings are always the worst part of the week. :)

Band practice was good, quite chilled, how was the Chinese new year with Vietnamese food? Where you drinking alcohol specific to any other Asian country?!

I guess I just looked like a terrible mess. :) I have a lot of ideas flying around in my head, it would be great if I could make a short movie of them but I doubt that I could borrow a decent camera and also, I doubt about my technical skills. :P Oh my, no penny for your work? Which kind of pictures do you have to paint? But you must be good if you've been commissioned.

I got my break, haha. I wanted to lay down for only few minutes but woke up 4 hours later with smeared eyeliner on my face and messy hair... Dear lord, I was utterly confused and thought it was night already. :D Self-made movie? Cool! Hope you had fun. It'd be an interesting project for me to make a short film by myself but unfortunately I neither have a good camera nor the money to buy one. :) Also, thanks for the recommendation, I want to listen to more stuff by the Dukes. :D

He said something about doing an Alan Partridge film actually, that was a while ago though.

Well the show I was on about with the Best of the Beatles line is called "I'm Alan Partridge". It ended ages ago but I still find it hilarious. Might be something of "love it or hate it" thing though because me and my Dad both think it's ace but my Mum can't stand it!

well adjusted would probably be reprehensibly bland! It certainly wouldn't be the sort of thing I listen to. I suppose it depends on how you define well adjusted though. It's probably psychologically healthy to listen to a variety of things, and to music which is a bit out there, but I'm not sure how research could prove that...

yeh it's good if you can get the funding, a lot of stress but I'm sure it''s a breeze compared to real jobs like doctors and nurses and shizz. This project is my first job, hopefully it'll be really good for my cv as I'm heading the project, and then I'll have a lot of options for my next one! Maybe something on the psychology of music taste using last.fm?! that'd be an interesting research proposal! If you can think of reasons why anyone would fund it, be sure to let me know!

I rushed fom one place to another; I also made a lot of sports and at the end of the day, I felt kinda k.o. :) Yay, it's Friday soon - any special plans for this weekend? I think I'm gonna sleep A LOT. :)

Well basically research in the area of psychology! I'm working on a project on domestic violence and abuse against men, it's a bit heavy but interesting.

haha yes, vaguely. I actually stand by my comment though, after having watched Bowie mime to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f43DiHUH-6A Pretty silly song (and shoutbox) :)

Keep the art up anyways. i always wanted to be a musician but now I'm a research psychologist! But I still play music just about every day so I guess I got what I wanted in a way. I don't have any music on last.fm right now, but you've led me to ask why the hell not! I'll get on it soon hopefully.

the brawlers set is awesome, but I hear that many of the best songs from the tour were omitted from the cd. Plus, why didn't they intersperse the spoken stories between the songs, instead of sticking them on a seperate disk? That kind of annoyed me.

I'd happily wear a t-shirt of that drawing, get it out there! I too would do a lot of things to see Tom Waits live. I have (inadequately) covered about 40 of his songs in the last couple of years. I was at this interesting talk in Belfast by Barney Hoskyns about a year ago, he's the guy who wrote that Tom Waits biography that came out last Spring. It was a question and answer session and just made my insatiable curiosity about Waits grow, as Barney recounted the times he had met and spent time with Waits. I still haven't read the book, though. And it'd no bad thing looking like my friend Rosa (or vice versa), she has similarly funky hair.

You really look like a friend of mine in that pic btw. Which is of no consequence at all, and the kind of information you can do nothing with! But I'm sharing it anyway :)

No problem, good tastes. High five for Tom Waits! If last.fm reflected my offline listening it would probably read 'tom Waits: 8,000 listens'. I like your image on the right, where is that from?

I was actually gonna quote a British TV show and answer that with "Best of The Beatles" then remembered you're Australian and wouldn't get it, lol. And I did the same with The Smiths a couple months ago I think, hence why they've been overtaken I guess.

Haven't listened to In Utero in a while so decided to today ha. And I've just noticed they've overtook The Smiths in my charts - big news! Also, PROBABLY Abbey Road. You?

Oh, fail, I forgot to answer. I'm stressed, so I couldn't read that much but I'm eager to know what will happen next. :) Damn, I'm sooo tired! :D I'll collapse into my bed and sleep like comatose, so bye. :D

I've always hated Cardiff Afterlife, although that seems to be the one that a lot of people seem to think is the best one on it. Do you have a favourite Bowie album?

I dunno about trying to sound like The Clash, definitely a bit of "trying too hard" though. Natwest-Barclays is cringeworthy, although I do still listen to it for a laugh sometimes. Glasnost is my my favourite off Lifebood I think, partly just cos I like the word.

Meh that's understandable, the production is shit and the percussion is from drum machines which makes the sound even shittier. A lot of the lyrics are kinda dumb and vague too but I'm a sucker for wanky self-indulgent guitar soloing. AND it has Motorcycle Emptiness. Lifeblood is good, I can't understand how people like Know Your Enemy better than it.

Would have to be New Art Riot. No, really, The Holy Bible (hardly an original pick but hey). For me, and forgive the acronyms, THB > JFPL > EMG > GT > GATS > LB > TIMT > SATT > KYE. How about you?

They are 100% serious, I've seen an interview with them. "So like... errr... me and Filbert*... we were like, going through some tough times man... relationships and stuff... we felt broke inside... do I was like, "dude, let's call our band, Brokencyde!" *may or may not be his actual name.

I would've said I was about two weeks ago, but I've been listening to a worrying amount of blink-182 since then, who I was entirely convinced were awful not long ago. So I'm not sure quite how super I am any more.
