Cool Shit 2#

So I want to watch NZ defy all the odds and somehow get through to the final 16 this world cup but I have to wait till midnight. I've been up since 4:30am and need to keep myself from falling to sleep. What am I going to do...

Bam! I'll bake some awesome...

Ingredients:
$3 Beers
Cheap Schnitzels
Peabody
Dead Farmers
a measly $5 door
free pool
7:30 so I don't fall asleep
And it finishes before the footy
An empty vessel that is as big as, looks and smells like the Petersham Bowling Club

Method:
Get to the Petersham Bowlo, prepare yourself in some pants you've worn earlier, mix all the ingredients at once. Then release pants.


Peabody



Alternatively, You can go to Oxford Arts and check out Brendys waxed mustache, Dion's Shell-necklace-denim-jacket-no-tshirt ensemble, Ritchie's lack there of, Bish's wife beater and Ellie's trademark tambambourine thigh bruising insanity all for free supporting Fait Accompli in the gallery bar. Not to mention hitting up everyone's favorite bar on Oxford st. the Brighton for beers after/before/and inbetween.

Whatever you do make sure it's either of these.

Waveton Recording Times

We starting recording last weekend for our debut album. We churned out some sweet drums, bass and some guitar on six tracks. We went out to Waveton old army barracks with Tim Kevin and tangled ourselves in a hell of a lot of cables ribbon mics tape machines and old metal boxes with really big knobs... and here they are



This box seemed integral to the recording process (I think it meant awesome on or off) notice how it's in the middle.


Midnight Oil's tape machine... true story and Paul's melted volley.


More big analogue knobs. These ones are from an 1940s mic pre


Even the fan is vintage


Tim... Laughing at our musical prowess... probably


Vintage tape machine works really well as an amp


Lyons and his emergency dunny roll


AMP TOWER


This Kookaburra was not scared at all no matter how close I got.

Cool Shit

I love cool shit, like this picture of Dom eating an Ice Cream




Trogdor



and slot cars



But also I'm pretty excited about this album. Looking forward to hearing it when it comes out next Saturday.
