Merry Flippin Christmas

BLOG ALERT!!!

Happy Christmas and all that crap!

Word Up, Yo Yo Yo Yo!

Well let's talk Light the Night what an amazing night at the City Recital Hall, Angel Place, how awesome is the Rose Hancock! Lovin' her!

Great stuff to keep everyone laughing!

The Miss Saigon cast as always were flawless, so sad to see that beautiful show leave old Sydney town! Jade Macrae and Katie Noonan also showed it has been an amazing year in Australia for the female vocalists!

Overall Light the Night was a truly magically, heartfelt night with simply stunning performances all round!

Speaking of Miss Saigon I took in my eighth viewing of the most heartfelt and spectacular production, ears were flowing in my beautiful third row from the front seat.

December 1st saw me head to a packed Sydney Entertainment Centre to see a simply flawless and beautiful Missy Higgins, her frock caused quiet a stir around the lickers in the audience.

I think I was one of 2 boys in the place! Amazing set and so amazing to be up close to one of the countries most talented musicians!

All her hits were there "Scar", "Special Two", "Sound of White", "Peachy", "Steer" and the stunning "Where I Stood". Just beautiful performance, 5 stars and not a single thing I could even think of bringing down!

On Monday the 3rd of December I was lucky enough to have a night of Famils at a few restaurants in Sydney.

A Famil is an excuse for a piss up at a restaurant when they try an inform you about all the excellent points of their restaurant and give you free food and piss.

It's basically a great free night out, we all love a freebie at this time of the year, nothing better than free piss and good food at Christmas time.

We headed to the very butch "Pumphouse", great food, great cocktails and a very cool atmosphere in there, loved it.

Next stop was "The Summit", the view over Sydney and it's surrounding less attractive suburbs is spectacular.

The food was a little sparse and the wine was so so. The Pumphouse is the clear winner for this night out.

December the 6th I headed off to one of the last Billy Elliot previews. Well there is a lot of hype about this musical.

I will break it down simply, the dancing is great, Genevieve Lemon of Priscilla fame is FAB!, the sets are simply amazing and they should be they have knocked the Capitol about for the last three months but the songs WOEFUL!

Elton John at the best of times writes and records songs which make me feel extremely ill!

However these take the cake, they are dreadful, you just want the little buggar to keep dancing and not open his mouth, and the language that comes out of the little kids, what a fucking liberty, young boys calling people wankers, I'll be damned!

You don't hear that in the school playgrounds these days, you just hear illegally downloaded 50 Cent songs rapping about, Pussy, Pimps and Playing the field,that is much more informative for the next generation, not dancing fairies on stage dressing up in old birds dresses, what a load of horse shit!

Now I moved to the Domain on Saturday December 8th and enjoyed an amazing day of Australian music, varying from Dance to Rock to Folk. Amazing. I took in:

Operator Please - Bitch Please, how hot is this band right now! Loving "Leave me Alone", "Zero Zero", "Get What u Want" and of course "Song about Ping Pong", loved every second of those crazy kids!

Blue King Brown - Totally Dope! These guys know how to pump the crowd up! Loved every second of their awesome set! Especially "Come and Check Your Head".

Angus & Julie Stone - For how much drink I had drunk by then it was a little lame, but still love there guts!

Bumblebeez - I was definitely Flying down to Rio by this stage!

Midnight Juggernauts - What can I say, WOW! How awesome is this group, a really amazing set, I definitely got my groove on to these guys!

Cut Copy - So 80's I loved it!

Missy Higgins - I'm in love with U!

Architecture in Helsinki - I love your "Hold Music" U guys rock!

Pnau - Holy Flip! What a hot set, sexy bodies all grooving to the sounds of one of Australia's top dance duo's, welcome back boys, definitely one of the disc's of 2007!

That's pretty much it for now, I have also caught the following films:

Bee Movie - Half a Star
Rescue Dawn - Three and a half
Halloween REMAKE - Three Stars
eowulf - Three Stars

Hope this finds you all well, and don't forget to have a happy, safe Christmas and all the best for a hot and totally random 2008!

C u at Groove Armada Bondi Beach!

Australia All Over

Dear Diary,

Please excuse my lack of entries lately due to my Australia all over experience taking in Melbourne and Perth this month!

The following entry is proudly and loudly supported by the Kevin 07 movement.

My first review this entry dates back to:

Wednesday November 7th 2007: Respect the Musical:"What a fucking liberty" who on earth ever thought this was a good idea to have three women stroll around the stage like lost sheep and sing dated and lame pop songs from the years. Rhonda Butchmore really needs to hang her shoes up now I believe, this is definitely a Rooty Hill RSL show now a State Theatre show.

Saturday 10th November 2007 @ 2pm: Priscilla Matinee, Regent Theatre Melbourne:

Now I saw this show 3,004 times in Sydney however the Melbourne version of the show is a lot tighter and a much more enjoyable show. The Regent Theatre is an amazing venue, it is simply beautiful!
The cast were all amazing and Tony Sheldon just gets better with every show, if you live in Sydney and missed the show the cast recording is a must buy for Christmas.

As you can tell on the 10th and 11th of November I was down in the wonderful Melbourne for Erin and Mick's beautiful engagement party! What a lovely night! I am sorry to everyone I man handled on the dance floor.

aturday 17th November 2007 @ 8pm: Rent, Regal Theatre, Perth:

Well who would have thought Nikki Webster would make a great Licker, Anthony Callea could get any hotter and Tim Campbell seems to be one of the sweetest, down to earth men living in Australia.The show was great and the meet and greet after the show was definitely the highlight. Courtney Act was amazing as Angel and some of the young Perth cast were also brilliant and pretty hot!

Now the Perth weekend away was a real eye opener what an interesting city that one is! So quiet, yet very beautiful! I had a wonderful time in the amazing Perth weather!So there we have it Australia all over in two weekends and a few shows to boot, we also have a brand new government and things continue to move at an incredible pace!

The following events will all go under the microscope in the next edition:Light the NightMissy Higgins @ Sydney Entertainment CentreHomebake 2007and possibly another wonderful Miss Saigon review.

Don't forget Billy Idiot is in town and so are 15 known pedophiles have landed in Sydney.

A big farewell to Jay @ Triple J after a few years of Breakfast radio JJJ will hopefully add another Adam Spencer or Mickey Robbins, Paul McDermott, Sandman and Jen style team as besides Myf earlier this year there breakfast could definitely use a shake up.

Christmas is also only around the corner so please see a few CD reviews below (great gift idea and keep the music business in business):

Pnau - Pnau: Third releases from Sydney Duo. An amazing dance assault with some real great little ditties including "Baby", "Wild Strawberries" & "With You Forever (feat the awesome Luke Steele from Sleepy Jackson). Definitely one for relatives that love ecstasy and a good dance party.

Grafton Primary - Relativity EP: Great track Relatively + Mc Squared, FAB, rest of the EP is okay but it could grow on me, definitely one for anyone wearing Fluro and thinking they are the indie kids of tomorrow.

Midnight Juggernauts - Dystopia: After many great singles "Shadows", "Road to Recovery" & "Into the Galaxy" this CD should be a winner, however the rest of the album is a little bit of a disappointment.

Samim - Heater SINGLE - Definitely the dance single of November, BUY IT NOW or find it on every dance compilation for the next ten months.

That's it folks, have a super day and again sorry for the long entry and the lack of entries more news coming soon!

Storms, Children and another Miss Saigon sob fest!

Yo,

Another wonderful week of live and varied entertainment. In the coming weeks however there will be plenty more including trips to Melbourne and Perth! HOORAY!

On Thursday night I saw (just in the nick of time, I always get lost when heading out to NIDA) the amazing NIDA showcase, what a pack of hotties! And talented hotties, I am dying to see where all these sexy people will be in the next few years.

I love a Saturday matinee and I love the fact stupid parents think an under 5 year will be able to sit still during a 3 hour Miss Saigon cry fest. I was vile after this breeder discharge cried, screamed and made kiddy noises throughout most of act one.

If you are reading this and thinking of having kids, use a fucking condom or get on the pill.The theatre is no place for children, with exception of Tam in Miss Saigon.

Sydney has been in full on Justin Timberlake madness over the past few weeks and can I just say to NOVA & 2Gay FM that there is more than just Justin Timberlake about to tour.

We have Missy Higgins about to travel around this fair land, Ben Lee is still kicking it with the all ages gigs, Keith Suburban is coming back down under next year (he is playing a lot smaller venues this time around) & Good Vibrations is coming to outdoor legal injecting room near year in February.

Also on music news I discovered this great band on the wireless the other day:
GRAFTON PRIMARY
Now this is HOT electro, check them out on Myspace and here a great new AUSSIE act.

For another stormy week, CIAO!

Two films and a heartbreaking tale

Word up my random folk!

Happy ARIA's!

Another week of film and theatre this week as I dealt with yet another chest infection, people who I work with and read this, if your sick STAY HOME I don't need to miss another week at the gym or other social arrangements, that's what sick leave is created for SO TAKE IT!

On Thursday night I saw the Womb Raider AKA Brad Pitt's latest wife in "A Mighty Heart", what a story and what a role for Mrs. Pitt. An amazing true story of an amazing women and her heartbreaking life.S

aturday nana session I finally saw "Holding the Man" well, what a tear jerker! An amazing and very funny first half with some truly amazing performances from a small but extremely talented cast. I strongly recommended you catch this amazing piece of theatre, a truly inspiring piece and it shows that there is true love out there for everyone (with the exception of Shit me Spears).

Saturday night I had a random evening ending with the film "Good luck Chuck". This film was filmed in the street I lived in when I was over in Vancouver, so that was nice. The main character had an extremely hot body but a god awful face (so common).

He was Chuck and he was cursed, the it ran through the motions of boy meets girl, girl loses interest, boy fucks a fat chick, boy gets girl back. If this sounds dull, while it kinda is, some funny bits but maybe wait till it hit's the DVD store. I would file it under the DVD you rent when you want to bone that special someone and you need them to lose interest in the film very fast. My record is the opening credits to another film very similar to this.

Musically it is the night of the ARIA's but I did pick up a fantastic international release from former Moloko front bitch Roisin Murphy. This is her sophomore solo record "Overpowered", the two singles title track "Overpowered" and "Let me Know" are simply sexy.

Her sexy voice roars over a pure electro sounds cape that a lot of these young wanna be electro acts should tune into.

This CD makes the Veronica's "Hook me Up" sound like a HI-5 track for 3 year old's.It has taken me a while but I have also got into Angus & Julia's beautiful debut record "A book like this", simply bliss. So Sunday morning wrapped up with some hot trade you want to spend more than a quickie with. Beautiful.

Coming soon a review of Rhonda Bitchmore in Respect the Musical, NIDA this Thursday, I am sure another Miss Saigon review with also appear soon also many more CD reviews as I went a bit mental this week at JB-HI-FI.

Andrew OUT!

SPAM: October BLOG ALERT!

Yo Yo Yo Yo,

Well what a couple weeks, my nerd box has had a very quiet time over the past few weeks so here is what I have been up to!

A BIG Happy 26th to you out there Beryl first off! Happy days ahead, dying to see you on a dance floor somewhere @ next years Good Vibrations festival. The announcement of the line up is next Wednesday 31/10 or you can check out their website: http:www.goodvibrationsfestival.com.au

My first BIG event was Don's Party. What a year Sydney Theatre has had and what a year they will have next year. They really know how to put an amazing show on. Don't Party was no exception, great set, great play to start with and great actors. A great venue also in Sydney Opera House's intimate Drama Theatre. A big thanks to Yvette for being my sexy Blonde date for the night.

Next on my Theatre list for the week was one for the parents, Dicken's Women @ Sydney Theatre, Walsh Bay. Miriam is a bit of a diva and has starred in one of those Harry Pothead films. She was great however the topic was a little dull for me, one of 6 that was under 100 in the whole venue, downstairs there was walking frame races, two up, more camel Toe than a day out in Egypt and a lot of piss on the male toilet floor. Why is it when you get old you lose your aim?

I then saw Miss Saigon for the fourth time in Sydney. I didn't cry however this time, I was an emotional wreck, the new Kim is simply amazing! If you really need a good cry this show is definitely for you!

I then moved onto the music scene on Tuesday night at Sydney's Metro theatre for Ben Lee and Lisa Mitchell. Lisa was one of the only Idol's to ever interest me. She is cute, she could even be a younger Sarah Blasko or Mistress Higgins and she is going to be one hell of a star one day in the near distant future. She also played the right card by covering a simply beautiful Kate Miller Heidke track 'Space they Cannot Touch", beautiful.

Ben Lee came on in a Countdown style gold suit, FAB! He sang nearly every song that the crowd loved, Into the Dark, Cigarettes will Kill You, American Television, Love me Like the World is Ending were all in his first set.

Now the encore was a given as he hadn't sang Catch my Disease, as previously discussed it does piss me off that an encore is a given these days. However the encore was great, starting out with the Bon Jovi like "Sex without Love", I hated this song the first time I heard it, now I love it! Catch my Disease was a lovely sing a long, whilst the totally unplugged finale of "Were all in this Together" was so 60's, it was free love and lot's of Kumbaya moments. FAB!

He really is a true performer and despite what some will say, he will be around for a long time to come. He shit's all over a lot of the other male talent in this country including the Noll Brothers!

I also dropped into the Phantom of the Opera launch in Sydney. Anthony Warlow what a star!

The other girl who plays the female lead was rather BLAH, but I guess you can't have everything looking at the Young Diva's, oh wait a second, they are all shit.

Another entry all jam packed full of election news and gossip will be coming soon at a large cost to all tax payers.

Don't forgot the Liberians starts next Wednesday on the ABC right after the Chaser, it looks awesome. Happy Spring!

Tears & Theatre

Hello Australia!

Again it has been a while between drinks but hey, it's better late than never. I hope you all enjoy the tasty attachment (from this week's BLOG alert) that has caused yet another Rugby League scandal and the 2007 season is well and truly over!

Now I have been off to a few events recently and will talk about them shortly.
The BIG news first however this week is the sad passing of Celine on Summer Heights High, I actually shed a tear when her tribute came up at the end of the episode!

Now my first event over the past few weeks was the finale of Menopause the Musical at Sydney's Theatre Royal. The four women put on an amazing show and a great time was had by all at the celebration after the show!

My second event was the interesting Dead Man Walking starring the lovely Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Alan Jones, Anthony Callea and a stack more. It was an amazing emotional roller coaster with some amazing performances particularly from the humble Teddy Tahu.

It's only been in town a few weeks but I have managed to catch Miss Saigon for the third time! This however was the first time I cried, the beautiful story and truly heartbreaking end caused me to get a little emotional. I must say the more I see this show the more I love it. I managed to see a few more understudies and am dying to see it for my fourth time!

On the music front Big Day Out Sydney and Gold Coast tickets sold out quicker than ecstasy pills at Sydney's number one drug haunt Slide Nightclub.

Kanye West's third CD continues to show he really is the new king of Hip Hop, Justin Timberlake manages his 6th US Billboard top 100 single from his latest disc, Shit me Spear's CD will be released on the 30th of this Month after several tracks have been leaked, Kylie's new single "2 Hearts" has also been leaked and it's only a few more sleeps till this years ARIA Awards @ ACER Arena.

In VERY sad news also this week MYF Warhurst has decided to sell out and move to Triple M next year. It doesn't upset me a little and the thought of only Jay & the Doctor next year on JJJ breakfast is not that appealing.

I will be back soon with reviews on the latest STC production Don's Party, Ben Lee's Metro Theatre all ages gig and hopefully another stellar performance of Miss Saigon, please please please if you live in Sydney or Adelaide (opening early 2008) see this truly moving and beautiful love story which with each time you see it you feel more and more for the wonderful lead characters.

Film Freak: Hairspray Sign a-long

Hello Possums,

Well me and six other people (in the whole cinema) sat through the 9:30pm sing a-long session of Hairspray, starring the following:

Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Edna Turnblad
John Travolta as Edna Turnblad
Michelle Pfeiffer as Velma von Tussle
Christopher Walken as Wilbur Turnblad
Amanda Bynes as Penny Lou Pingleton
James Marsden as Cornelius "Corny" Collins
Queen Latifah as "Motormouth" Maybelle Stubbs
Brittany Snow as Amber Velma von Tussle
Zac Efron as Link Matthew Larkin
Elijah Kelley as Seaweed Joseph Stubbs
Allison Janney as Prudence "Prudy" Pingleton
Jerry Stiller as Mr. Pinky
Paul Dooley as Mr. Harriman F. Spritzer
Taylor Parks as Little Inez Stubbs

Now a movie with songs all about fat people can be either be really funny or a little dull over the a 2 hour period.

However the cast is extremely good looking (James Marsden is always a fav) and John Travolta looks way better as a chick.

Now for a light and fluffy film this was okay and unfortunately this was the pick of the shit list at Hoyts Broadway (god damn school holiday films!).

Now to some music news, the Big Day Out 2007 lineup will be announed next Tuesday on JJJ between 6am and 9am.

Now to my favourite tunes of the week:

Katie Noonan - Sunshine
Architecture in Helsinki - Hold Music
Kanye West - Good Life
Booty Luv - Don't Mess with my Man

Don't forget Miss Saigon is playing at Star City right now, it's a great night out at the Theatre, so get along!

A full length BLOG post will be coming soon to discuss Menopause and other long weekend activities! GO the STORM today!

Ciao

The Heat is on in Saigon

This week it has all been about Miss Saigon. What a show, what costumes, what great music and what spunks!

Thursday night I attended the preview and well it shows the cast has bonded together and really making this show so real and wonderful since I saw this last time in Melbourne.

Saturday was the wonderful opening night plus after party.

The cast are so hot and so totally nice. They are the most lovely group of people after I downed 17 glasses of Champagne.

The week has also been another boom for Summer Heights High, with more controversy than Anna Nicole Smith’s death.

I really do urge everyone to take part in the fantastic journey that is Miss Saigon, it truly is a beautiful show and yes I know I usually hate most things, but this was fab!

Next week I’m off to Menopause, hopefully Don’s Party and there will be plenty of gig reviews in the upcoming months.

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY Fanny B, you’re an old bitch now, 25!

Happy Spring everyone and remember 9 our of 10 babies are conceived during the root fest that is known as Spring, so do us a favor and put on a rubber, cheers!

Oh my god hi, it's like totally RANDOM!

Well, well sorry for the delay in an update, the OPEC week really put me out!

Well before my holiday on the Mental Coast or as I like to call it Druitt by the Sea, I saw the final Priscilla performance at the Lyric Theatre. What a performance, Tony Sheldon, Daniel Scott and the company all put on a simply amazing finale. I almost shed a tear at the end as this has been a huge part of my 2007!

The after party on the other hand was a load of horse shit! I have said it before in my weekly broadblast's about Slide nightclub. Located on Sydney's run down, dangerous and junkie infested Darlinghurst this night club has more tabs on it's self than Andrew Johns after popping his third pill at the Church nightclub, UK.

First off a club/bar/music venue relies on the music it plays to keep punters on the dance floor, I don't think has been hits from Beyonce (particularly with those dreadful Dream on Girls), Pink & various other shit that not even 2Gay FM wouldn't touch.

Second the bar staff can't deny patrons paying for drinks with coins, money is money and on Oxford Street a queer dollar is a queer dollar, us mo's are moving in flocks to Newtown.

Third a Euro trash cloak room junkie who needs patron's to sign in the cloaks and frocks is a little embarrassing.

So with all my marketing experience I have summed up an honest advert for Slide:

Glide into Slide on Oxford Street for a night of sheer disappointment with cunty bar staff, do it yourself cloak room (charge of $5 per item) & music that even Nova 969 sounds similar wouldn't touch in there syndicated grave yard shifts. Slide it's a night out you'd prefer to forgot, but don't worry you probably will, one in every four drinks are spiked.

My lovely week away on the Mental Coast was simply wonderful. I saw an amazing Australian film "The Jammed" a fantastic and realistic journey into the bleak world of people smuggling.

I would also like to say congrates to the Chaser boys for showing up the Australian security at OPEC, what a load of horse shit.

A big congrates to the fantastic talent of Chris Lilley for another wonderful series "Summer Heights High", what a great new show. It's right after the Chaser Wednesday nights at 9:30pm ABCTV.

Now on an ex ABC show Kath & Kim. We all know Goods News Week once it left the ABC was dead and buried after a few short weeks. I feel the same is about to happen at Seven. Squashed in between such rubbish as Hot Property (loved that guy in Priscilla, but sorry your TV show is shit) and some show about and American bogan named Earl, it never really stood much of a chance. And when the comedy was recycled and no longer relevant it really was the final nail in the coffin. The anti Howard episode had a few people talking, most of them work for Today Tonight at Seven so it's simple cross promotion working overtime to keep their ratings up.

This last week back in the city of sin lead me to the Opera House for two special nights of Tori Amos. She is truly a fantastic performer, performing many hits from her long and very successful career.She uses her four wonderful alter egos so well and I must say I love the wigs!Her underground success has been a growing phenomena across the globe with beautiful tracks and some simply amazing cover versions of tracks done by the likes of Emimen to Nirvana. Both nights had very different sets and were simply bliss, the Concert Hall at the Opera House is a truly beautiful venue and was always the best venue in town for this concert series.Her American Doll Posse CD is a hit and miss affair but with such a strong back catalogue her performances were varied and truly amazing, on several occasion I could fell goose bumps on the back of my neck.

The next week I'll be off the the simply stunning Miss Saigon, a full review will be posted shortly.

Sorry again for the delay in posting something new.

I dedicate this post to the amazing new Shit Me Spears track "Gimme More" a new track for all the gutter trash mothers of tomorrow to train for the strip clubs of tomorrow.

Perth Here I Cum!

Thanks to the Dame, I am off to Perth in November for a theatre spectacular! I will be seeing Rent with Nikki Wesbster and Australia's hottest ex-idol Anthony Callea! Hooray!

I will have full picture uploads and lot's of news so stay tuned!

Please enjoy the story about Sydney's biggest wanker Kyle "I'm fat so fat you know I'm fat" Sandilands below.

Sandilands News Flasher

Hughes strikes back with abusive 'apology' to Sandilands

Dave Hughes has hit back at Kyle Sandilands over the shock jock's recent threats of violence — offering to allow himself to be hit so Sandilands could go to jail.
The Melbourne funnyman today issued a 'public apology' after Sandilands threatened to punch Hughes in the throat the next time they met.
What I want to say to Kyle is don't shoot the messenger mate," Hughes said today in his podcast on Nova FM.

"I am sorry. I'm sorry that you're a massive dickhead. It's not my fault though."
Hughes also poked fun at Sandilands for saying he would be prepared to serve hard time for the assault.

"If I let him punch me in the throat, he can be out and off for three months," he said.
"That could be a sacrifice worth making... I've got a fairly thick neck."
Hughes called Sandilands "a massive dickhead" at the 2007 Logie Awards, a clip of which was played during an interview Andrew Denton conducted with the Australian Idol judge that prompted the initial throat-punching threat.

The controversial footage is just one aspect of what promises to be a highly dramatic Enough Rope interview, where the host also probed Sandilands on some of his more outrageous on-air stunts.

Denton — who is renowned for his focused interrogations — referred to an incident several weeks ago where the radio host took a call from a young listener who said he had caught his father in a sexual act with another man.

Sandilands then rang the boy's father and confronted him about the incident live on air.
The shock jock claimed the defence that his program was "an outlet" for his listeners but Denton countered that he was "playing with people's lives" by broadcasting sensitive personal matters.
The interview goes to air on September 3.

Indonesian Bird Flu Week

Well well, with the Indonesian bird flu striking me down for most of the week and I’m not talking about Renae Lawrence being sick in Jail, I am talking about $200 wasted on doctors, pills and tissues. How can one night make one boy so sick! But do you think I wouldn’t do a Monday night bender again in a heartbeat?

Anyway I did make a few BIG achievements this week. I witnessed the magic of a “Midsummer Night’s Dream” @ Sydney Theatre, what a wonderful production, HOT cast, great set (it made Christina Scragulira’s “Dirrrty” clip look like a late 80’s episode of “Romper Room” & great finale (I won’t ruin it for any intending to see).

I also chalked up my tenth viewing of Priscilla and what a day to! Genevieve Lemon has been released by the tiny Jackie Weaver, a good edition but Genevieve really was amazing in that role! Tick was being understood by one of the company and Miss Understanding was known as Miss Understudy, still with all the understudies it was still as fabulous as the first time I saw it. I mean Kirk Page and Indigo are hot trade and now I have seen a little more of the cast than expected it was quiet a great viewing.

BIG news now, HMV midcity is closing down, after years of being the place to buy music in Pitt Street mall, it is going, going about to be gone. They have huge reductions plus an additional 15% every marked price! Their last week (approximately the first week in September) they will extend this to 50% off all marked prices! So some great bargains to be had!

Now with the APEC week only week’s away it’s time to get ready for another well deserved long weekend! I am off to country to attend the first ever Cunt-Hop music festival, yes it’s a combination of country and hip-hop music fused together with break-square dancing, trackie dax & lot’s of bling! I will be doing a full review on country life and let me tell you it ain’t going to be no feel good Today Tonight crap.

Let’s just hope in the country a boy who every now and again enjoys a snog with another male, enjoys choreographed cardio and very rarely jumps at the chance to be on the dancefloor when a Madonna song is on @ a club gets a root!

Chookers!

Sunday 12th August 2007

Howdy ho peoples,

Firstly what seriously wonderful weather are we having in this fine city of Sydney. I must apologize before I continue, I like many other people I am experiencing the flu plus fever bug, now usually the flu is a bad thing but to be honest these fevers I am encountering are like being on super strong painkillers, life is GREAT!

I can’t believe how nice I am being to other human beings and how relaxed I am, I am so relaxed I was nearly run over three times heading off to work today.

Now this week will be a big week so there will be a lot of news about the Rocky Horror launch on Wednesday night & the new STC production of A Midsummer Dream on Friday.

I have been a little forgetful with my footy tipping so here we go for the next big round:

Round 23:

Friday night: The Bulldogs to smash the Broncos
The Eels to get slammed by the mighty sexy Melbourne Storm

Saturday: The Sharks to eat the Tigers up
Those sexy Kiwi’s to smash the Raiders in Johnny boy’s home town!
The cock sucking Cowboys to demolish the outta form Dragons

Sunday: Craig Wing to smash the Titans
The Panthers to shit all over the Knights

Monday @ Telstra Stadium: The Rabbits to keep their finals hopes alive by beating the upper north shore half strength decaf, soy not to hot latte drinking Manly Eagles.

Also on the music front HOMEBAKE goes on sale real soon, August 20th I think! It’s going to be a blinder day with lot’s of tops Aussie music!

A BIG birthday wish goes out to my old skool pal Melody Pascoe, hope the US is treating you well!

^^ Sunday BLOG update proudly supported by Ricki Lee’s new CD “Brand New Day”, you thought her last CD was shit, wait to you hear this one. It’s only $19.88 at Sainty, basically you could spend your money on the CD or half a tank of petrol for the old car for the same amount and they both do the same damage to the environment. ^^

Single of the week – Karnivool – “Only Way” – great cover of Goyte’s hit from the “Like Drawing Blood” smash hit of last year, catch him at Homebak again this year.

Single of the weak – Mika – “Love Today” – Would this fairy stop pretending to be the sixth member of the Scissor Sisters, pink pop is only clever when you don’t look like a bug eyed transvestite.

NAME & SHAMELESS

The BIG First edition of the BLOG simply titled NAME & SHAME.


No it has been an amazing few weeks of shows, theatre, travel, award ceremonies and a few too many beverages late Monday night, early Tuesday morning.

I will start all the back with my wonderful trip to the second most beautiful city in Australia, Melbourne. However it is becoming one of my favourites very quickly!

I had a great flight down on the old Aussie icon Qantas. I arrived in the lovely Melbourne town after a great trip with the sexy boys from Melbourne Storm on my plane! I was very jealous that they just got the chance to be up close and personal with Craig Wing the night before. And that was the beginning of the mighty Roosters return to form. I proceeded to get one of the Melbourne Storm to autograph my fab Pauline Hanson "Untamed & Unashamed"
novel. I think Jeremy Smith who signed the novel was rather excited to sign such an important tale of a simple Aussie slapper who believes Australia should be a white nation, thank god she is one of the only people with this dream or otherwise I would be seeking a lot of sex off shore!

I had a lovely shop around Melbourne town and the headed to Phantom of the Opera opening night with the wonderful Anthony Warlow! The show was beautiful visually and the costumes challenged Priscilla's amazing frocks!

The after party was a bit of a disaster, but they did have a great buffet!

I saw Menopause the Musical (which I feel today writing this very flippin'
hung over, I am experiencing. I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm off to the dunny, I'm off again...) which was amazing! A great laugh! I will do another full review after I see the 1400th performance at Sydney's Theatre Royale, on September 30th, thanks for the invite Sue!

I then had a peek at the Pixar exhibition at Fed Square, a great look into the genius behind Toy Story, The Incredibles and a string of other animated films and short films.

I unfortunately left Melbourne after much delay at the old airport, to head back to my hometown Sunny Sydney, isn't the weather FAB right now!

I got straight back in concert mode Monday night for some Gwen Stefani action! What a flippin' awesome performance!

She started the set off with one of my top 20 singles of 2007 so far "Sweet Escape", I don't know why but I just love this song so much and never seem to tire of it! She then belted out hit after hit after hit! Considering this bird only has two solo albums, she has quite a few crowd pleasers under her belt! The concert overall was simply amazing and definitely one of the best gigs I've ever attending.

Wednesday night I set off to the Editors at the Metro, now I haven't been to this venue for a while and my gosh do I like it! The Editors performed to a very full room of happy punters. They ran through all the motions very well and performed a very entertaining set until the encore. What is it about encores, they are not special anymore another Anthony Callea (see below), Damian Leith & Shannon Noll can do an encore. I would far prefer bands to just string all the hits together for one long set rather than smoking a bucket bong out the back then singing two or worse still one hit single. I wage war on the Encore, just because three girls with zits the size of postage stamps are screaming out the front it doesn't mean you have to come back out.

I then had a few nights of peace and quite before the Sunday matinee show of Anthony Callea. What a weird audience, there were nanas with frames, 5 year olds who obviously had retarded parents as they were wearing a bright pink top, pink shoes and brown slacks & the very loud and proud gay fan base! I have never heard so many screaming queers! There were bug eyed fairies everywhere! Mind you, you had to be bug eyed to see the sexy little fella!
He also did a flippin' encore & camp costume change. The highlight was the old ladies in front of me who clearly though he was the hottest thing since sliced bead, actually so do I so my worst fear is coming true, I'm turning into an old lady. At least grandma (RIP) would be proud! Thanks Emma for saving me a poster and not giving it to the big girl fans who asked me whilst I was working at Priscilla!

Now a Monday night should never be a night for a bender especially when I have been battling the Sydney Winter Flu since July 1999. But the Helpmann awards after party was only one thing WRONG! The hot trade in the room (including Mr Callea & Husband (imagine a carbon copy of him + 20 years! Not a good look!) and free flowing piss!

Now back to the ceremony for some of the musical highlights, Iota did a FAB number from Hedwig & the Angry Inch, The Engineer did a great "American Dream" rendition on the stage of the capitol Theatre, Sydney, the opening number I just wanna Fucking Dance was hot with some of the lovely NIDA team in there! (HI SAMANTHA!) and the Priscilla cast finished off the evening with there medley of hit's that concludes the years biggest box office smash!

The after party at the Sydney Entertainment Centre was great, piss galore, food and trade as mentioned above! The after after party at the Oxford Hotel on Sydney's premier queer strip Oxford Street was WRONG! The patrons who were already there didn't know what hot them when the cast of Priscilla and other randoms such as myself continued to piss it up the wall (not Sonny Bill style! PS Sonny if you need some help paying your newest speeding fine, I'm sure we can work something out!) until the wee hours.

Tune in soon on the BLOG for more updates including reviews of Menopause the Musical and much more.

My five favourite PUMP IT UP tunes it's a Monday night piss up:

1. Gwen Stefani - Now that You’ve Got It
2. Operator Please - Just a song about Ping Pong
3. Patience Hodgson - Lee Remick (Go-Betweens cover)
4. Ben Lee - What Would Jay-Z Do/Sex Without Love
5. Katie Noonan - Time to Begin REMIX
