Hi Liam
I recieved a letter from Gerrit Rietveld advising that unfortunately
they could not accept you as an exchange student. They have returned
your portfolio.
I will leave it at our reception for you to collect.
thanks

mighty mouse not scrolling down?

fucking apple industrial design tossers. apparently it's a common fault. i've already brought one back (2 weeks after i got it) and now my replacement one has started skipping as well.

also it gives me cramps to use it. it's beautiful but flawed. just buy a pc mouse, you'll be better off in the long run. i think there's room on the market for an aftermarket mouse with apple aesthetics and a basic human compatibility

LIARS

i ventured again to the corner hotel last night to see the sonic weirdness that is liars. they're fronted by an expatriate australian called angus, who started the group as a multimedia project while he was studying in america. their latest album is said to be their most conventional one, but i still find it bloody weird. i actually went out on wednesday and bought the cd/dvd package, previously i'd just been listening to mp3's. i can say that it is a good album, but i don't think the majority of people will like it. angus used to date karen o from the YYY's, which i only found out yesterday, and apparently they first toured australia supporting those dudes. (who will be back here mid year- a must see)
somehow i ended up in the first row at the show, right in front of angus, who emerged in overalls, and racing car shoes. during the show he stripped down until he was wearing a 2 piece dress with a nautical pattern, and odd stockings on each foot. occasionally he would lift up his skirt, and more was revealed then i probably wanted to see, although he was wearing y fronts. the band setup is one drummer (who always wears vintage bathing suits onstage afaik, mostly women's ones) a guitarist drummer, who also does vocal effects with an effects box and a microphone, and angus, who sometimes plays guitar. these guys don't play a lot of melodies, but a lot of rhythms. the live show faithfully replicates the album. i was expecting more posing and rock god moves, but angus seems suprisingly honest, not posing, but acting out perhaps. i guess i give the show a 6/10.




pitchfork gave them a 9.0 for the album, which is an very excellent score from those guys

the grates/panda band/i heart hiroshima

i went and saw these guys at their sold out corner hotel show. it's their first tour since they've released their album, which ranked no. 9 on the aria charts in it's first week out. with the way record sales are going at thhe moment, that only means they sold like 3000 albums, but it's till a good effort for a little band from brisbane. i heart hiroshima were supporting, and they are really good, wouldn't be suprised if they made it onto some festival lineups in the next year or two. as always with the grates, it was a fun show.
