Gary Sullivan - dimmer/ solid gold hell/ jpse ,on the fall at the power station the other night - "best gig I've seen in years, a very long time since I've felt that from a band"
ps - you missed best movie - exit through the gift shop - genius

The naked and famous - the sun , what a tune - I was thinking more Dimmer - I believe you are a star - period. Surf City's album too I think is going to be pretty sweet . Like Street Chant but the tune I keep hearing sounds like die die die - which tis no bad thing.

Pete - ha, yeah I used to find it weird seeing that radio live advert with the daily show too - gave me the hee bee jeebees. I blame that on 1. Laws, sssshhhuuder and 2. radio live ? never listen to it, too busy with the b. Where as the daily show was mostly a fine giggle. I'm bummed at this news . So little to watch on the box, yet so much time.

District 9 was a dull clunker of a movie, lacking in ideas and souless ....zzzzzzzz - prolly should have walked out . Give me, 2001, Blade Runner, Gattaca (sp?), hell even Iron Man, at least the later made me laugh. District 9 Over rated ? massively, - goodies badies ...goodies win, kinda ... and nothing in between .
Looked like SA in the 70's to me , perhaps it was meant to. Not so modern then ...sci fi pretence notwithstanding. -
yup as graeme says -
land transport amendment act 2009 comes into force 1 december this year .
goes like this -
If an officer has 'good cause to suspect you are driving under the influence of a drug or durgs' ( eg he opens the door and the car reeks of pot, or you're weaving all over the place but pass a roadside screening test for alcohol) s/he will require you to undergo a roadside 'impairment test' .
If you fail that test you will then be required to accompany back to the station (mandatory) for a blood test .
If the result of that test turns positive for any controlled drug *no matter how little* you will be prosecuted as if you are a drunk driver - the penaltys on conviction are the same . It will be a defence to call medical evidence to show the drug which showed positive was administered on medical grounds .
The concerning thing most immediately obvious is if you used cannabis a few days back - it will presumably still be in your blood stream , but clearly not affecting your driving at the relevant time - (although for some reason you did fail the 'roadside impairment test)you go down .
gulp - I can see a heap of work here - want my card ?? -
Actually I thought the guy from Whittaker's on the tv was cool . Very old school in a Wily Wonker kind of way . The other guy was all PR briefed, friendly cheese smiles etc zzzzzz . We need more of those old fellas on the box. Cosed eyes is quite a good look . Sleepy even .

yeah Neil was pretty spectacular ... the sound he gets out of his guitar, for an old timer , wow . and true that made the price worth it initself .
Sniffer dogs on the gates at the Goldy BDO huh , how very moronic .
Ting Tings should have been on a little later then I'd have got to see them . I hope the datsuns havn't lost that garagey loose humour they once had , its not that I particularly dislike Shihad its just that one Shiahd might be enough . -
yes well tis the holidays ... fast fading , but speaking of BDO , anyone at Spiritualized the other night at the power station ? gee it was really pretty great , one of the best . We were almost shot into
orbit . -
wow that Likke Li - Bon Ivor busk is really cool ... the Beirut gig late summer this year at the KA or (kingys) as the kids call it, sort of had a similar feel . A little over sold, but pretty cool all the same, a really folky quite fragile performance - one of my fav gigs of the year .Any other favourite 2008 gigs ?
-
oh yeah that kol lykke Li is really good ...niiice .
