LIFE SUCKS!

Whilst everyone gets upset the 'king of pop' died,the REAL king of pop Mr Chris Knox is apparently not that well.I read in a freebie rock magazine that Chris Knox( super cartoonist/musician/art guy) had a stroke a couple of months back and I guess wont be releasing stuff in the near future.Please check out his solo recordings or the tall dwarfs stuff. Ive just recently found out he was doing stuff with a band 'The nothing' which was released on what the kids call mp3.
This also feature Sir Stefan Neville on drums. He goes under the moniker of 'pumice' buy lots use many of his various recorded formats!
Anyway, who can forget when Chris came to Australia in the mid 90s, was going to play 'Not given lightly' on a live Saturday morning TV show (Recovery?). Broke a string on his guitar, so he did an accapella version on the song right on that spot! What a trooper, the look on the kids in the audience was 'so where's spiderbait?!!'

I heart PUFFY

Since about 99 Ive been a sucker for main stream pop (or what I consider 'good' pop). Anyway thanks to someone dumping off a bunch of manga books at the front of my flats and the wonders of the internet Ive discovered the pop music of Japan. So I discovered PUFFY who are one of the greatest pop bands of all time! They yell,they harmonize they use every musical genre available and turn out great pop. Their films clips are incredibly entertaining. I recommend any of their 3 'best of' cds. Of course youtube them beforehand go for boom boom beat,nice buddy, mole like, wild girls on curcuit as a start. You'll be so glad you did.

EUROVISION 2009

Why Norway? Why Alexander Rybak? I thought Azerbaijan's Inga & Anush should have won. But if I had my way it would be Moldova! Nelly Ciobanu rocks! As did the trumpet! I take my Eurovision seriously...
