to the tune of "look good on the dance floor" Arctic Monkeys
Back in the arms of my homeland and the weather is holding up.
Got away from Australia but am I missing the place?
Not much
Ready to work with whoever
from where ever they may come
I'm already fatter
can you see the size of my bum?
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
STOP THE MUSIC NOW!
I don't.
And I can't write songs either
Thats why I work behind the scenes.
I can add up though so thats a bonus.
Anyone in England want to get a record deal or can you all do it on your own?

Bedroom Walls
All Good Dreamers Pass This Way
by Bret Love
If Elliott Smith were still alive and decided to get together and jam with Neutral Milk Hotel, the results might sound a lot like this self-described "romanticore" quintet. Based in Los Angeles, Bedroom Walls crafts dreamy, bittersweet songs that balance a knack for catchy indie pop melodies with a deeply rooted fondness for melancholy moods that recall experimental bands ranging from early Pink Floyd and Talk Talk to Sigur Rós. "You say you've laughed enough/Your closet's stuffed with last year's blues/But you know by summertime/Your suicide's just last year's news," frontman Adam Goldman sings in his airy, high-pitched tenor on the opening "In Anticipation of Your Suicide," and it's difficult not to hear Smith's ghost in lyrics about "records always spinning clues you know you want all to know." It's a haunting beginning to an impressively ambitious album that draws you in immediately and completely captivates from start to finish. Horns, retro organs, vibraphones, glockenspiels, strings, and barely ambient noises all find their place in the band's lushly arranged patchwork of sound. They make fabulous use of dynamics to maximize the emotional impact of a song like "Six Weeks in the Imperial Garden," which veers from passages of aching minimalist beauty to monolithic riffs that lumber and roar, while "Mandy" is a sweet ballad with folk roots and the string-laden "Hello, Mrs. Jones" is a beautifully bizarre rumination on young love. Every track here is positively delightful, but it doesn't get any better than the closing "If the Storm Breaks and You're at Home," a stripped-down acoustic number that sounds like Bright Eyes covering a Damien Rice tune, with Goldman and Melissa Thorne's gorgeously sad harmonies sounding like the wistful angels that must come to visit you as you drift off into a narcotic-fueled endless slumber. All in all, All Good Dreamers Pass This Way is a strange, sensational record that will captivate you from the first listen.
Bedroom WallsAll Good Dreamers Pass This Way(Baria Records) I remember driving down the 405 on my first trip to Los Angeles two years ago. I thought I'd get off theplane, get in a convertible, drive down the highway to a mansion in Malibu, eat a great meal by the pool, and then take a walk down to the beach where I'd be greeted by gorgeous women playing Frisbee or surfing.Well, it was somewhat true. It involved a lot of traffic, smog, and a magical place that the kids on the West Coast called "In 'N Out Burger." The best part of the first two hours of my first visit to Los Angeles was notthe coffee I spilled on my friend Heidi's white dress. It was hearing Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse's voice for the first time. He was creepy and beautiful and sounded like he was whispering in my ear. The musicsounded like it was playing in my head and not on the car speakers. I loved Sparklehorse, but because it scared me. Since then, I have always wanted to hear a Sparklehorse-sounding band that had that samewhisper effect on me, but didn't put me in the psychological funk that Linkous had to power to do. Enter the LA band Bedroom Walls. Adam Goldman, the band's lead singer, sounds similar to Linkous. Theband describes their sound as "Romanticore" and their sophomore album, All Good Dreamers Pass This Way, is a grand orchestral whisper that will live in your head, not in your speakers. There are many bands that overuse such non-imperative instruments like xylophones, hand-claps, and cellos.This is not one of those bands. The horn stabs, the twinkling of the xylophones, and the crispness of the cello all seem as natural as if the songs were written around the small details instead of vice versa. The albumchanges from the Big Star of "Who's Been Driving Round For Days" to the Bach/"Street Hassle" intro of "Somewhere In Newhall" to the Simon and Garfunkel intimacy of "If The Storm Breaks And You're AtHome." The songwriting lags a little bit in the middle of this album, but it stays strong enough as to not lose theattention of the listener. There is enough classically infused string parts and twists and turns throughout All Good Dreamers Pass This Way to make you almost more interested in where the song is going and not whereit's been. This album instantly reminded me of my fear and obsession with Sparklehorse and for that I admire it. Although now that I've heard it, I know that the essence of having that kind of voice only works underevil. The pop-infused "plays in your head, not in your speakers" aesthetic that I longed for might not be what I was looking for after all. By Jeffrey Thrope May 10, 2006

MTV SUPERSTAR GLOVEBOX
We have some very exciting news to report!
“Superstar” has received airplay on MTV Latin America!
This is an absolute huge addition to the campaign (MTV Latin America reaches 35 million potential viewers in the US and 17 South American countries!) and really helps to continue to bring this band to the next level. Xavier Campos, head programmer at MTV Latin America, is always a very big supporter of pushing new and deserving artists to the forefront and we are very excited that he has embraced “Superstar”.
We have some other terrific regional outlets that have included “Superstar” in their recent programming. Video Vision, which is based out of San Francisco, CA, and reaches 1.7 million potential viewers on cable, has included the video on their most recent playlist. Catherine Lee features the best videos on her weekly show in one of the biggest markets in the country. This is another strong add for the campaign and all the young, CD buying kids in San Francisco tune in to this show religiously on a weekly basis. We have also secured airplay for “Superstar” on M Squared, which is based in Long Branch, NJ. Transmitting from Monmouth University, M Squared is seen every day on campus, and weekly in the surrounding towns, reaching 175,000 potential viewers. Also, Cutting Edge, in Dayton, OH, has included the video on their show. Cutting Edge is a very popular indie rock show in the area, thanks to the large college population, and has an audience of 50,000 potential viewers.
The popular internet television network, Music Plus TV, has added the video to their online rotation. Music Plus TV is an all inclusive music network that features videos, reviews, interviews, and much more covering all things music. They currently have a registered database of 250,000 with that number growing daily. This is another terrific internet outlet to embrace Glovebox!

Transmitting from Monmouth University, M Squared is seen every day on campus, and weekly in the surrounding towns, reaching 175,000 potential viewers. Also, Cutting Edge, in Dayton, OH, has included the video on their show. Cutting Edge is a very popular indie rock show in the area, thanks to the large college population, and has an audience of 50,000 potential viewers.
The popular internet television network, Music Plus TV, has added the video to their online rotation. Music Plus TV is an all inclusive music network that features videos, reviews, interviews, and much more covering all things music. They currently have a registered database of 250,000 with that number growing daily. This is another terrific internet outlet to embrace Glovebox!

We are writing a book!
It is true.
I am writing a book about the music business.
So far the title is : Ego versus Emo
Or
I hate the radio. Why don’t they play decent music anymore
I thought I would throw an unedited snippet on the blog this week as I haven't been able to add to the rest of the rubbish I usually write.
Advance order being taken - free if you want one for now. Loads of $ when its a real tome.
"When you do go to a convention - having parted with a few hundred dollars and probably a few thousand more on air fares and hotel rooms and meet the great and powerful I think you might be surprised at how many of them wear Hawaiian shirts.
An amazing amount of really key guys in the music business (and it is almost always guys) are getting on in years and have obviously had a few too many power breakfasts. I genuinely think that most of them are committed and really believe in what they are saying but the reality on the ground is very different from the reality in the boardroom.
The biggest problem facing anyone from Gen X or younger these days is that the boomers will not just fuck off and die. They hang in there with their Woodstock jargon and big pensions and desperately try to defend themselves from the future. I don’t blame them but if they had any sense at all they would all have retired years ago and left music to their kids. Instead we are force fed the same snoring songs.
Bob Dylan has been given his own show on XM satellite radio.
Why?
Because he is a known name that the boomers identify with. If you are younger than 40 you might never have heard of him and why would you.
It is time to retire fossils!
I should know. I am rapidly catching up and I am so cranky it’s hard to relate to some new music. If I was in charge of the radio I would play Stone Roses back to back man. (Not really but you get the idea)."

This is why you get hassled travelling
A true story and its source was the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service in Adelaide.
A bloke and his family were on holidays in the United States and went to Mexico for a week. An avid cactus fan, the man bought one-metre high, rare and expensive cactus there. On arrival back home Australian Customs said it must be quarantined for 3 months.
He finally got his cactus home. Planted it in his backyard, and over time it grew to about 2 metres. One evening while watering his garden after a warm spring day, he gave the cactus a light spray. He was amazed to see the plant shiver all over, he gave it another spray and it shivered again.
He was puzzled so he rang the council who put him on to the state gardens people. After a few transfers he got the state's foremost cactus expert who asked him many questions. How tall is it? Has it flowered? Etc.
Finally he asked the most disturbing question. "Is your family in the house?" The bloke answered yes. The cactus expert said get out of the house NOW, get on to the front nature strip and wait for me; I will be there in 20 minutes.
Fifteen minutes later, 2 fire trucks, 2 police cars and an ambulance came screaming around the corner. A fireman got out and asked "Are you the bloke with the cactus?" I am, he said. A guy jumped out of the fire truck wearing what looked like a space suit, a breathing cylinder and mask attached to what looked like a scuba backpack with a large hose attached. He headed for the backyard and turned a flame-thrower on the cactus spraying it up and down.
After a few minutes the flame-thrower man stopped, the cactus stood smoking and spitting, half the fence was burnt and parts of the gardens were well and truly scorched. Just then the cactus expert appeared and laid a calming hand on the bloke's shoulder. "What the hell's going on?" he says. "Let me show you" says the cactus man. He went over to the cactus and picked away a crusty bit, the cactus was almost entirely hollow and filled with tiger striped bird-eating tarantula spiders, each about the size of two hand spans.
The story was that this type of spider lays eggs in this type of cactus and they hatch and live in it as they grow to full size. When full size they release themselves. The cactus just explodes and about 150 dinner plate sized hairy spiders are flung from it, dispersing everywhere. They had been ready to pop. The aftermath was that the house and the adjoining houses had to be vacated and fumigated: police tape was put up outside the whole area and no one was allowed in for two weeks.

beer and buddies
Drinking partners
An Australian, a Kiwi and South African are in a bar one night having
a beer.
All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in
the air, pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "In Seth
Efrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the
same one twice," he says.
The Kiwi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his
glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "Wull
mate, in Noo Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we
don't need to drink out the same glass either," he says
The Australian, cool as a Koala, picks up his beer and drinks it,
throws his glass in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the South African
and the Kiwi.
He turns to the astonished barman and says,"In Strailya mate, we Have
so many bloody South Africans and Kiwis that we don't need to drink with
the same ones twice."
