I was shooting some video yesterday (sunday) which included my parents cattle, half way through it what should happen but a bit of the birds and the bee’s.
My Mum’s friend got Married on Saturday. The evening was pretty fun, I was incapacitated so it consisted of me standing next to the bar for it’s entirety doing a lot of left arm bicep curls. There was plenty of characters at the bar with quite a few bikies with some crazy tattoo’s and crazy dance moves, I had a total blast and ended up very KO’ed.
At The Reception
Guess what this says?!

This poor guy on the right went out after the reception finished and was jumped by two state level boxers on his way home because he broke up a fight earlier. A bunch of them flogged him that hard he’s now in ICU in an induced coma. I dare say they didn’t know he’s the president of the local Black Uhlans Motor Cycle Club, personally I wouldn’t want to be those boxer dudes for quids right now cause when he wakes up the shits going to hit the fan and they’ll deserve every bit of it! 1 on 1′s ok in my books but 2 on 1 or more is weak as piss!
Is anyone missing their 80 metre Oil Tanker? “Checkout this news story.”:http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200603/s1601024.htm I find it hard to fathom how someone can misplace something this big.
So I’ve been getting outside a bit more and working on some stuff that doesn’t involve my laptop. I’ve been making rhythmic field recordings by ‘playing’ different everyday surroundings. How do you play everyday surroundings? I here you asking yourself. When you place a recorder/mic in contact or very close to your objects/surroundings it amplifies and captures sounds that are more audible than we would normally think possible from something as simple as a wire farm fence.
This is early days and I don’t even know if I will run with it. This recording features my Dad moving his car, my dog Rhani, some birds and me wrapping up the finale with a fire cracker all whilst I’m ‘Playing the Fence’. This recording is quite ambient with some very deep bass drum like sounds.

Between selling stuff online, creating various projects and doing weights I’ve been getting in around 4 hours of Commonwealth Games action a day on and off. Highlights for me have varied with the top moments being John Steffani’s 400m win (my favourite distance from my track days) Brad Pitts heavey weight boxing rounds (He shapes up in the final for Gold soon) and Darrell Eastlakes commentary in the Weight Lifting. Surprisingly I’ve also been enjoying sports of a lesser note such as Lawn Bowls and Synchronised Diving (the things you do when your immobilised).
Went back to hospital yesterday for a check up. They took my cast off my leg and it felt so nice but the feeling only lasted 10 mintues and then they slammed another straight back on. They just had to take it off to make sure the wound was ok, it would seem I’m going to have a nice scar on my ankle but I don’t really mind as long as it starts working properly again.

I feel like things are getting bad when I know exactly what is happening with every narrative within Home and Away. OMG I can’t believe I’m watching such a trashy show and then there’s a dose of All Saints, Prison Break and Midday Movies thrown in for good measure. All I can say is ‘Thank the Queen for the Commonwealth Games’ or I’d probably shoot myself.
Sometimes I forget why I am so fascinated with Japan but then I remember stuff like this and start thinking about how many days to go to I return.
Everything from 100ml to 3l jug served chilled, more than convenient!!!

If you know me well, I say that I’ve been doing This & That, when I’ve actually been doing fuck all. Fuck All is not such a bad thing because it’s usually a time when great ideas (well that’s speculative) come to me. So I have a new Art project on the burner and it’s getting close to boiling point. I should be able to implement it even whilst I’m incapacitated (as of next Friday the 10th, no walking for 6 weeks). It combines my interested in performance art, photography, video and sound and also my distrust and speculation of the art world and it’s possible turning into a modern day commodity. The concept is not super strong at this point, but then again we start talking before we are writting and reading, so what the heck!
Hopefully tomorrow will ‘spark’ (that’s a clue) the start, after some careful planning/testing over the last few days. You will see some stills and possible audio sample on here but nothing to heavey just yet.
Still be cranking out the jams and working on another album with 2 tracks in progress and 1 finished all bar the mastering. But there’ll be no sneak previews of these until they’re down, just expero test etc.
Oh yeah and if it’s Electronics you want let me know as I have started selling them and at a rapid rate. iPods, Samplers, CDJ’s, Mixers, Audio recorders, + much much more, just ask me, brand new and nearly half the Australian price. If you must know I’m getting them from Japan and selling them on eBay. You name, I can probably get it.
