No winter blues.

Hmm, after last week's blowout, pickings are kinda slim this week. But not to worry.
Hobart's Native Cats are at the Birmy, with their buddies the always-excellent Super Wild Horses and the always-unpredictable UV Race.

Not sure what that costs, but it'd be worth a look. And you can pick up a copy of the Cats new album at the show, too.
Otherwise, you can catch up on your Tim Burton big screen experiences, at ACMI.They are having a retrospective of all his movies in conjunction with that exhibition that's on there right now. I actually saw "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" at a cinema once, for some unknown reason.

Travel time.

Well, one way or another I was always going to be on the road this (long) weekend.
For the first time ever, I'm booked in for Golden Plains:

There's a long and involved story about two friends getting me drunk and suggesting this would be an ideal way to get over my general dislike of festivals. Whatever, the line up was enough to convince me.
Who’s playing. This year’s lineup is brought to you by the letters “spirited”, “pirate” and “classic”.
PAVEMENT, DINOSAUR JR, DIRTY PROJECTORS, THE BIG PINK, MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS, TAME IMPALA, SUPER WILD HORSES, OPTIMO, CALEXICO, MONOTONIX, GASLAMP KILLER, NASHVILLE PUSSY, JEFFREY LEWIS & THE JUNKYARD, THE CRUEL SEA, CRAYON FIELDS, RANSOM, ANDEE FROST, ROYAL HEADACHE, WOODEN SHJIPS, ANTIBALAS, CLAIRY BABY BROWNE AND THE BANGIN’ RACKETTES, SPACE INVADAS, JACK LADDER, SCATTERMUSIC SOUND SYSTEM, OPULENT DJs
Not all of that is essential, and there's a bit of rain forecast, but, y'know, so what?
If I was around, though, I'd be heading to Yah Yah's on Saturday night, where Brian Hooper is previewing tracks of his forthcoming album, accompanied by Mick Harvey and JP Shilo.
Odd how it looks like there's a name missing from that sentence.

DICKHEAD POLICY:

"Essentially this is a self-policing policy whereby 'the dickhead' is not celebrated at the festival. Dickheads or people involved in dickhead behaviour will usually find that a solid citizen will firmly but politely inform them that their dickhead behaviour is not admired or appreciated. The Dickhead will usually realize they are being a dickhead and pull their head in. If not, our Helpers or Staff or even Security might make a discreet intervention.

So if you are a Dickhead, this festival isn't for you."

Flipped Out, Sydney

If you saw my drunken ass in Sydney over the weekend, you'd know i had big fun. To anyone i chased, hassled, fought, kissed or took photos of, you're all total dudes. It was a good time and fast approaching is Flip Out in Melbourne at The Corner Hotel. If i scammed beer or ciggarettes out of anyone, hit me up this saturday. I took over 1000 photos throughout the weekend. For me, The Ooga Boogas at Flip Out and Teen Archer at the afterparty at Oxford Arts Factory were my favourite sets. Also James Arthurs Manhunt, really wish i could have stayed in Sydney one more night to see them, Pink Reason and Carborator.

This is a bunch of photos i took from thursday to sunday. Thank you's to Emilyrose, Nathan and Jez for their hospitality and friendship. Lukus for driving us to the airport. Also Jimi's mum for a fantastic lunch today.

Click on the photos to see them big.

Jimi. On the way to Melbourne Airport.

Reading material for the plane.

My buddy DREWFUNK has a show on in Sydney at the moment, if you can- check it out at Oh Really Gallery. Cool space, it's out on Enmore road. I went to the opening and then to this bar on Oxford St called Ching-A-Lings. If you don't have anything nice to say (about Ching-A-Lings), don't say anything at all. basically.

Headed to Repressed Records before it shut. Got some nice records.

Back to Newtown, records and goon in the early morn.

Friday was spent drinking beers at the Clare and buying records at Egg and Utopia. Friday night was the Pink Reason Show at Dirty Shirlows then James Arthurs Manhunt at Louies, i actually slept there. It was great, however the daytime drinking and seeing ma friendo's from Melbourne arrive made me giggly. How sick were BED WETTIN' BAD BOYS. I love my shirt. Thanks to Joey Suck It for writing on it, and then drawing a dick on my chest. What a buddy.
