the big day out is here {5}

look out the germans have landed and i’m very pleased, welcome .. i’ve posted some rammstein before, when the line up for the big day out was announced, well guess what dear reader ? today is the day the big day out hits the gold coast, the home of tbaoo. i was fortunate to work ( in my day job ) at the big day out for a few years, but i’m too old, lazy and needing adequate toilet facitlies to engage in the mosh pit activity. having your private parts jiggled, jostled, valued and jingled by all sorts of equally weird people is beyond me  - now.

i was very lucky in the past to work in rock n roll, and in doing so was privy to the best vantage points, adequate places to pee, drink, eat, get girls ( under the most respectful circumstances of course ) and observe the mass population that was the audience. shit they were mad, very mad.

so, today i miss out on rammstein, but fear not they will probably feature on channel v (cable music channel ) next week. bands in the past heavily regulated the taping and subsequent broadcast of their material, but in 2001 about three or so songs made to air. the second video, the 2001 gig, is the second single from the album sehnsucht (1997) was Du hast .  i apologise for the poor quality, it seems they don’t have full control. any-who, i was in seventh heaven and for an atheist that’s a very strange place. the 2001 rammstein show was bloody amazing on screen and maniac live and i’ll bet your total net worth, it’s going to be even better in 2011.

time to calm down {4}

i’ve been on the phone for what seems like hours, i’m very tired, relaxed and contemplative, all at the same time. so to enrich and extend this feeling and spread the melancholy, here’s australia’s leading rock god, singer songwriter extraordinaire, nick cave ( the bad seeds are hidden behind the magic somewhere ), so before you sit back and relax, turn it up real loud , grab a wine, scotch, cigarette or any other choice .. enjoy. goodnight !!

is it a new year ? {2}

i’ve got over the whole silly season and i hope you have too, i didn’t do anything but i feel glad that it’s over. i just hope that the world improves, that it plans for the future, appreciates the things it has, demands attention be given to those that need attention and realises that we all need help, and that we all reject the mountains of cynical crap offered by those in charge.

i see that millions of people are still dying every day due to a lack of basic necessities, that the northern hemisphere is covered in snow, that whole sections of queensland towns are being evacuated because of flooding, while the other side on the west, has record heat conditions, that america’s home owners are being booted out of their homes, that there are still millions of unemployed and homeless people all over the world .. what in the fuck can we do ?

well dear reader i don’t know, the weather is one thing, in light of global warning, maybe we should strive to reduce our impact on the planet. but what about the corrupt financial system, politicians and the blinkered complacency of the mass population, that is something that we can fix. go and watch michael moore’s capitalism a love story & sicko, see what a stymied pickle this world has become, of course it’s american based, but true i would think of the world as a whole, the population needs to revolt. cause a proper and legal uprising to remove the ingrained “shitiness” that is the current standard of public office and corporate culture around the world. so …

  • do vote
  • do ask questions
  • do not just accept
  • do something

because of this big picture thinking i seem to be engaged in at the moment, here’s a song that resonates. it’s message still stands .. where is the love ?

gorillaz in oz {2}

i have to realise that i’m becoming a recluse, unwilling to travel and just too damn lazy to get off my derriere and travel to brisbane to see some of the amazingly rat arsed good music that’s come to our shores… gorillaz, enough said, buy all their albums and play them on any format you have, watch any videos you can get and track down a live film of their demon days album performed live, ( a sample below ) .. shit it annoys me just how lazy i am, i’ll have to do with the formats i can grab and buy. plastic beach is just fantastic and the snapshots i can find prove that everything they do is silky smooth and extra creamy.

here’s a snap shot of them live and some other clips .. as a funny old fellow on australian television used to say .. do yourself a favour !!

my new car {0}

you the regular dear reader, will know and may have giggled at the stupid notion that i must have a mercedes, i even gave the model name and posted here. well forget that, i’ve realised that i’m hiding my real dream, my wish list, my bucket list, my dribbling incoherant ramblings .. i must have a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport

back when, i watched and announced with the certainty of a hopeful lotto winner, that i wanted that car, top gear’s jeremy clarkson was driving and explaining the sheer drama, orgasmic rush and pant wetting features created by the Bugatti veryon. it quickly calmed to a more sensible, yet somehow still ridiculously unobtainable dream to be a mercedes cel 600. so i’ve decided to go for broke and let the gift giver, provider of wishes ( who ever you are ? ) know that my new car should be a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. i mean if beyonce can give her man jay z one .. why can’t i give one to myself.

the reason for my current verbal spraining is that beyonce and her man jay z are on the gold coast, while jay z supports u2 in brisbane, a support act wow i don”t think so. what a show that must be, the set and effects are normal u2 brilliance.


..
for no reason other than it’s a great freak’n song with a woman who i’ll also allow to give me one … here’s the new owner of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, jay z with alicia keys.
..

my next holiday will be to new york …. “the concrete jungle where dreams are made, there’s nothing you can’t do, these streets will make you feel brand new …the lights will inspire you” .. i’m on my way.

i’ve just got to check the valet parking situation at la guardia airport
