I fell in love with a city

And that city is named Melbourne.
A short time ago, this small town kid from the West got her first taste of Melbourne.
And it was delicious. Now I want more... more... MORE!
So, alas, in just a few months time, I am packing up my life once again, and shipping (or more likely, jetting) my way over to the East coast.�
I want to know your thoughts on the following: - Best place to live
- Best place to party
- Best place to eat
- Best shopping
- Best relaxing
And various other Melbourne highlights to fulfill my first few weeks of probable unemployment, and associated freedom.
That said, anyone who can also point me in the direction of cool jobs and people in need of a flatmate, your help would also be appreciated.
So until I can post some shots of my own, I'll use this one to pretty up my post.

I knew there was something familiar about that song

| And I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
Maybe because there's too many things to choose from....

I went to Splendour and all I got was this crumby T-shirt

| Wait a minute... I didn't even get a T-Shirt.... I didn't get any photos because my camera was deemed 'professional'.... I took a video camera but they were banned completely, though I did manage to get some footage, to be posted once edited. So what did I get? (Besides amazing memories of course....) Good times at Tropical Fruit World on the Gold Coast, that's what! We bypassed Movie World. We bypassed Dream World. We even bypassed that other one, the one with the water slides.... Water World? Best part of the road trip to Splendour, especially for a first timer to the Gold Coast. Fuck all those other places...

Voltaic - The Volta Mixes

|
| Voltaic the 'audio-visual celebration' of Bjork's Volta tour is now out.
It's pretty cool and is mixed up by the likes of Ratatat, Simian Mobile Disco, Modeselektors, Sinden and Lexx.
Ratatat's remix of Wanderlust is the best.
Here it is.

Charlie is so cool like

| The couch/internet junkie I have now become, I stumbled onto this amazing little video diary of this pretty talented little dude. I think it might have to do with the fact I watched The Devil and Daniel Johnston the other day, but for some reason, I am especially interested in little geniuses right now.
Its called Charlie Is So Cool Like and it entertained me for hours.
Rad.
* I should add a disclaimer here that after I wrote the above, I found out he's actually 18 so I guess, technically not a "Little Dude". I went to edit it, but I decided to leave it there because I find it amusing that I thought he was much younger.

Tunes that make me go Mmmm

| Recently I have been listening to a bunch of really, really, really good music. You know the kind that makes you close your eyes and smile to yourself when you realise how great it sounds? Well here are two albums on very high rotation at the moment. One is new, one not so new. But then the older one is actually new and the newer one has been around for ages.
Geddit?
Anyway, both of these albums make me do the smile thing. This isn't a go out and listen to this entry... more of an outlet for me to spread my love for the following.
The Greenskeepers – Polo Club
I am loving this album at the moment. I'm not quite sure if I have missed the bandwagon on this one, and perhaps everyone already knows about it... But I don't care. And I do love it when older things become new again. Anyway, Greenskeepers. I love them. I love the song lotion. And I love both albums in their entirety… 2 sides of soft electro-rock and Nick Maurers amazing voice telling me the cowboy is in the garden again. Shit.
Coming to Parklife, but I think Perth might miss out.
Love Polo Club, but here’s a video where they cover Nine Inch Nails – Hurt. Made me just a little bit excited.
Eels - El Hombre Lobo
I have always been a huge fan of the Eels. And I am glad to say that nearly 4 years since Blinking Lights and Revelations, they still have it. Can't stop listening to Hombre Lobo, it has been a long time since I have heard anything like this. The raw vocals. The dirty guitars. The soft feel of it all. A classic and a good one for the vinyl collection.
Here's my favourite track, That Look You Give That Guy
