Spun out
If the normally unreadable Spin magazine is going to claim to be relevant and review the return of the Stooges, you'd think they'd get some basic facts right. Like Ron Asheton being the original Stooges guitarist. A breath-taking faux pas. Don't forget to read the understandably irate comments - one of the posters appears to be the late Ron's sister Kathy.

Back to school weekend.
Following a huge performance at the last night of the Tote, them dirty old Meanies hit the Old Bar on Friday.
You may want to get there early- this will pack out, and for good reason. I wonder if they will set the onstage fire alarm off? AND my good friend DJ Frankie Teardrop will be playing from 1.00 til 3.00am, as well.
Jay Reatard died last week at the age of 29, one of the most prolific punk musicians and song writers of our time, leaving behind a legacy of hundreds of records, thousands of songs and millions of shows in about 20 different bands over the last 15 years.
In the last two years, he'd toured Australia twice to rabid response from Melbourne, and on Saturday 30th January Melbourne is returning the favour by paying tribute to his life and music with a one-off show at the Ding Dong Lounge featuring reatarded Melbourne bands like Kamikaze Trio, The UV Race and Useless Children.
DJs Candy Cut, Pissing On The Mainframe and Stained Circles will blast tunes from his enormous back catalogue, and songs that influenced him or were influenced by him.
And as a one off, we will be showing footage from one of his wildest shows in his first European tour with the Jay Reatard band early in the night.
Doors are at 8:00pm, entry is $10, money from the door will go towards a charity to be elected by Jay's father specific to his life in Memphis.
That Melbourne-Memphis connection just keeps growing stronger, it seems.

Then, on Saturday, a great line up, honouring a great guy:

Camp A Low Hum 2010!
whaddaparty!!!
I spent 10 days in New Zealand. 6 days in Wellington and 4 days in Bulls at Camp A Low festival. I had a rad time in NZ and i'm keen to hit it up again soon.
Thanks to Blink for making the festival so good!
Highlights: BMX Rapists, The Dhdfd's, Ko-Ko Nuts, Witch Hats(Pool set), Psychic Jams, East Brunswick All Girls Choir, Renegade Stage, Batrider, Gaywyre, Bum Creek, Smell The Cheese, Pets With Pets, The Tote, The Arthouse, Merch desk! and the NZ GURLZ.
Lowlights: Setting up tent in the rain at midnight, Dan Deacon fans, DZ, no bar, no NZ gurl love.
The next night some leftover Melb crew went out with Batrider for late night Karaoke, it ruled.
