CUNT SLASHER

just a note

tash talks so much shit, I mean i do in person but she does on the net.
talking about electrelane for three paragraphs,

and gee wiz they broke up last year.

that is all
rupert (the guy who has dark brown hair ever since he was born 20 years ago)

La Musica !

Pretty much i really wanted to add more electrelane to the mix tape, but i wasn;t allowed to namely because it;s been on the other 2 previous mix tapes, the last one misteriously dissappeared. clearly it;s spelt mysteriously, i corrected myself YEH !

So the reason of wanting electrelane on every mix tape thingy magig is because of the fact that i find them fucking great. They relax me & i thoroughly enjoi it. Just letting you know that it;s what i;m listening to the most. However this is how bad i am, the other day i was lyk 'Andrew i hell love electrelane, i told my friend about them but he doesn;t know who they are, nor Animal Collective or Foals' and he replied 'He;ll know about Foals soon' (obviously because Foals are also really fucking awesome and because they;re so awesome some dick will find out about them on their third released album and find them oh so wicked) And so i was lyk 'Yeh probably' and then he goes 'He won;t end up knowing about electrelane' and i was lyk 'Oh why ?' and to my shock ! horror ! (it;s funny to me), he replies, 'Because they;ve broken up'. To this i reply with tears, i cried a river, yes just lyk the Justin Timberlake song, i did it, but to electrelane not Justin Timberlake, if that makes any sense. Clearly this means i;m a dick because i didn;t know they were broken up and they happen to make me really happy when i listen to them, i guess i;ll have to listen to all their songs on repeat for the rest of my life. I;m cool with that.

electrelane is not with a captiol E because i pretty much think they;re the shit. If i ever get around to doing some solo stuff, it;s gonna sound lyk them with added glockenspiel, which buy the way asincla2 i haven;t recieved yet and i really want it, so i can spend my time tinkling away into oblivion. So when i release my solo album you;ll have to get it, i;m going to release about 55 albums, all will go double platinum, no make that triple, quadruple, a millionuple times platinum and gold, wait platinum is better than gold isn;t it ? Well whichever is highest in value, because my music will be that awesome and everyone will love it. (clearly it would mean i;m going to go broke from buying that many of my albums because i;ll only be my biggest fan) YEH ! i look forward to what the future holds for me.

So yes i came on to spiel (correct spelling, well if it was in a dictionary this is how it would be sound spelt, sh-peel) about Electrelane (mistake with the captiol letter WOAH !) as i think they;re great. I;ll also add that i really enjoi Animal Collective, waiting for their new album ! And obviously Foals tickles my fancy x ALOT. Oh and you should all try listening to Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich, it will change you.

I;m going to signout now, but i hope you understood the moral of this story, which of course is Natasha from Shock ! Horror ! thinks electrelane is really, really great and you should all buy her flowers because of this. THANKYOU !

Yours sincerely, Natasha, Tash, Mash, Bash, Trash, Rubbish Bin ! (nicknames from primary school, i was really liked obviously).

libraries are fun!

Photobucket

for the last week or so i have been ripping as much music as possible from my uni library which is pretty fantastic considering their classical and jazz collections are fucking massiv! and i have shit all classical or jazz. needless to say i probably will never have to purchase a philip glass cd ever again.

minimalism has returned me to joy after one! two! three! got fucked around on the weekend.
i'll be back soon with a nas anthology y'all.

shiiit!!! give me a daemon!

Photobucket

so the other week i bought the golden compass on dvd.
its pretty fucking crap. but it made me want to read those books again. his dark materials.
i mean its so fucking cool that they all walk around with like transforming animals like some kind of ultra animorphs side kick, and i started thinking about what kind of daemon i'd have. i'd obviously want like some fucking lion or eagle or some shit but its more than likely i'd end up with a poodle or frog or some shit shit. after a while i started thinking about what other people would have. like what would lil wayne have? (panther?) what about julia gillard? eno? fucking hitler?
anyway, the point is. daemons make any dude a hot motherfucker.
so i'm leaving this universe.
pow!

Snacks.

The Hyde Park Hotel has hosted many a great sunday for us since we started gigging 4 months ago. the provided 2 free jugs of beer makes us happier than small children at christmas time (slightly less so since we had to decrease from Little Creatures to VB). This sunday is extra special because we get the honour of sharing the bill with two of our favourite perth bands. Wales headline the show bringing melancholy melodies backed by ear-blisteringly danceable disco beats and our personal friends and musical saviours Ichi The Killer bring huge distortion and bigger stage antics (Chris knows how to smash a bass!)
so come down and join us. After all, it is only $6
