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.

my youth returns with rammstein {3}

chapter
  1. http://www.bigdayout.com/tickets/tickets-details-and-outlets.php

dear reader, my old rocker, wasted youth, timeless need for hairy heavy guitar, keyboard, and “DRUMS” music is best represented by rammstein, well ok, maybe only very, very well represented, as i like loads of different music types. rammstein are slated to join the line up of arguably australia’s premier outdoor festival the big day out ( bdo ) that has been going since 1992. i’ve even had the pleasure of working at few here on the gold coast.

any-how back to rammstein, check them out if you like loud, dramatic, visually off the top !! brilliant dynamic theatre that is germany’s best export since the mercedes, ( yes i’d like a mercedes, i think i’ve said that before )

q. do you like to shake your head, to solid brutal drum beats ?

q. do you long for alarmingly catchy riff based grooves ?

q. do you look out of place at clubs because you’re in your fifties ?

q. do you pretend that you can play guitar and drums while listening to absolutely mother truck’n shit hot music ?

well i answer yes to all of the above, see below for a taste, go to the website ( english version if you need it ) buy stuff, refer to my past post here, if you’ve a need for massive sexual gratification to combine with your extreme rammstein passion.

oh and by the way, the godfather of punk mr iggy pop is also returning with the stooges, amazing he’s still alive and even more amazing is his intensive influence on the music scene – all generes ..

buy your tickets now if you can, shows all round australia and new zealand, get in fast as tickets sell bloody quick !! i’m now off to itunes my rammstein collection on my new i phone 4 .. yes i’m still going on about that.

good signs help friends {3}

this flew across my desk and while i’ve been so busy joining every conceivable twitter following group to extend the menace that is tbaoo, i’ve missed this tremendous opportunity.. bbc dorset really has excelled with this serious matter. as right clicked and copied ..

New Shitterton village sign set in stone

in the Dorset hamlet of Shitterton have got so fed-up with their sign being stolen they have put up a stone version.

They hope the £680 sign, which is set in concrete, will deter thieves.

Previous signs have frequently been stolen but had not been replaced since the last theft three years ago.

Villager Ian Ventham said: “Every two or three years somebody comes along and nicks our sign because, clearly, Shitterton is amusing.”

He added: “Purbeck District Council, not being over-endowed with money at the moment, would merely have replaced it with yet another sign.

“That would have been stolen so we have got together as residents for a whip-round and bought this wonderful piece of Purbeck stone which, at a tonne-and-a-half, is going to be slightly more difficult to take away.”

The 62-year-old, who has lived in the hamlet near Bere Regis for 20 years, said it was his wife’s idea and said: “I think we have made our contribution to David Cameron’s ‘Big Society’ now.”

Shitterton is recorded in Norman French in the Domesday Book as Scatera or Scetra which, translated, means a little town that is on the stream of a midden or sewer.

street signs are such collectables .. i’ll be off now to get some for my house, maybe in my sports bar trophy case with the samantha fox, pamela anderson photographic studies, the rammstein special edition dildo collection case, the rugby league hall of fame signed ball ? and the v8 super car bumper bar i stole from the gold coast indy‘s last carnival. this palace celebrating the manhood that is an australian male ( ? ) is hidden in the backyard and only accessible by offering the correct password .. can you guess what it is, no seriously i’ve forgotten it and the bloody digital security system won’t let me in.

i’ve joined an adictive group/site called http://twiends.com and while i’m still a facebook fiend, i’m becoming a twitter twat. no wonder the young wipersnappers of today become so engrossed in their mobile phones ( iphone 4 alan ? ) i am doing the same, wait, someone wants to know … when i’ll be at the shops, what i’m wearing and whether i have spoke to that girl from mcdonalds yet ?

shit .. so much life – no time left to enjoy it .. i’ll have to sort out my rammstein collection instead.
