Bad Albums Bought Out Of Desperation

The pictured album is one that contradicts the above heading.Today the new Devin Townsend album was supposed to be released here in Australia in most places but the digipak including dvd was supposed to be at jb hi fi.For some reason despite popping in to 4 of their stores,not one of them had it.The above info leads me to the heading topic.Shit albums I have bought when I thought I was getting something else,We've all done it,the expectation of getting that album you must have only to find that nobody has it.So do you walk away and wait 'til it comes in?No you take home something else that is ultimately shite just so you can feel you walked away with something.You have to fill that hole that has been created by not getting what you wanted,so you take home crap.It's not that different to going out to pick up,realising it's not going to happen so you drop your standards and take home some scrawfin' whorebag with a bung eye and a mouth that won't quit(ok,there are some uses for that....lick.....just your tongue).The pictured album is an exception to the headline,I almost went home with a whorebag cd,but luckily some stunner winked at me before leaving(the above album) and it happily shagged my ears all the way home.Spelling mistake of the day,saw a Japanese version of Metallica's Ride The Lightning which had a small discography on the back.I never realised they had an album called 'Lord'and 'Re-Lord'.Gotta love 'em.What were your crap desperation purchases?

An Afternoon At ACMI

Yesterday I went to ACMI to see the Stanley Kubrick exhibition.Although for some reason I was expecting it to be a bit bigger than it was,I was actually glad it wasn't any bigger.I find you end up getting a little bored after awhile and walking past all these cool things which your crap modern day attention span won't cope with(note to Kurt,think Louvre in Paris).Highlights of the exhibition for me were,the original helmet worn by Keir Dullea and the orange backpack that went with the red space suit.I was pleased that most stuff there was actually original props.The last highlight for me was some bloke there who had his jeans pulled up to his nipples.I formed an agerement then and there with my viewing partner Dani that if I ever did or looked like that she was to organise a hit on me,with my written permission.it;s only fair,the world needs to be rid of these 'Harry highpants' types.Overall,a cool exhibition

Let's Get This Rolling

Just to get things moving,we'll start with some rudeness that even Jamie Lamond would be proud of.
