Just an excuse to put these pix up

His new AC/DC t shirt that Nan and Pop bought him.

Just listening to some Stones rare stuff on Youtube.

Youtube is the blessing of the modern age and is an even better invention than internet porn.

I was discussing this with a couple of blokes in the pub on Friday (a very rare occurrence these days!) how back in Ye Olden Days like the 80s, you had to rely on magazines, books, very rare radio/TV exposure to hear about or see anything to do with metal, now you can just look at or hear anything from anyone ever.

Takes the fun out of it really. I lived for my mid-teenage trips into Sydney to go to Utopia Records and could still pick every (vinyl) album in my collection that I bought there. Some bands that spring to mind - Fastway, Black Angels, Black Sabbath, Dayglo Abortions, Venom.

Hmm I should go and cook dinner. Starvin, Marvin!

Umm yeah it's February and a lot's been happening

As you can see.

I should update this thing. The band's played two gigs - yes, the band. Oh didn't I mention them?

Family is having its ups and downs.

I was just thinking about a story before, well not a story but a tale of real events involving two young rockers. One was working in Tamworth, the other in Gunnedah, the world's most boring town. Oh did I mention that was me?

Anyway a few trips to Tamworth ensued. Two in a row involved us driving in my mate's car, out to a truck stop 10 ks out of town or so, after we'd been drinking already at the pub. There we drank cans of bourbon and coke, smoked a joint or two, and listened to The Black Crowes "Southern Harmony And Musical Companion". Some other music too but that's the one I really remember. What a fucking great album.

More later.
