I Believe You Liar - Nomination for my BLOG's inaugural Album of the year - 2010

So I Believe You Liar released 30 July 2010, debuting at #3 on the Australian Albums Chart is my fourth and possibly final nomination in my BLOG's inaugural Album of the year for the year 2010.

It has been a good year for music but mainly again for the ladies (SIA, Eliza Doolittle, Julia Stone & Lady Gaga continues to rip it up and suck!) and an even better year for Australian music, namely SIA, Angus & Julia Stone, John Butler Trio and now Washington.

The songs from the album that instantly grabbed my attention are the singles mainly and the various album tracks listed below:

"1997"
"Navy Blues"
"Cement"
"Rich Kids"
"Sunday Best" - STANDOUT (plus a very camp and FAB video)
"Clementine"
"The Hardest Part"
"How to Tame Lions"

Having 8 solid songs on the CD is a massive triumph as far as I am concerned the CD is a great intelligent pop CD that makes Lady Gaga's and Pink's most recent offerings look unintelligent and lame in comparision.

This album is a perfect pop find and I am very proud to add this to my list of the best albums of 2010. Well done Washington and I Believe you Liar, my latest and maybe last nomination for my BLOG's album of the year.

Winner announced later this year.

Top 5 @ 5 - Wednesday 27 October 2010

1. M.I.A/Rye Rye - Sunshine
2. Duffy - Well Well Well
3. Eliza Doolittle - Mr Medicine
4. Washington - The Hardest Part
5. Miami Horror - Holidays

Theatre - Namatjira

So every now and then a play is presented in a slightly different way and a way that gets the audience in there and involved, this play did that by audience particiaption from almost word dot.

I enjoyed the different way of exploring the characters in Namatjira, i was impressive and the two leads and supports (through drawing and live music) were just terrific.

Plays can be boring and espically when they creep over the two hour mark, but this play managed to hold my interest for the full 2 hours.

With singing, live art, dancing, acting and crowd interaction all in the one play it is pretty hard to mark this play down for being original.

I will give this one a solid 4 stars as it was something different and something very enjoyable.

Go check it out before it closes real soon, that's a flipping order!

The Countdown is on for Thailand trip #2

This Sunday if you don't know is my second trip this month to the lovely land of Thai!

Stay tuned to the BLOG for live updates and more, before then a load of reviews n stuff to come including the Paper Scissors in Sydney this Friday and tonight a bit more theatre from Belvoir Street. Heavens above what a week!

Film Freak - Life as We Know It

Okay so ROM COM's SUCK! And this one is no exception however there were moments. But the moments were few and far between, this movie was LOOOOONNNNNNNGGGG and I mean long. It at times took forever to get anyway and I found myself checking my phone more than once (not a good sign).

The women were annoying, the men in the movie were either pussy whipped, gay or lazy yobs. So basically a total stereotype. Why does Katherine Heigel aim to be an annoying un datable bitch in any movie she goes for? Who wants to date a controlling, needy, slightly retarded woman who throws herself at anything that will pay her a second of attention, NOT ATTRACTIVE WOMAN!

The supports were way better than the leads except the baby was butt ugly (ginger kids are not cute).

So basically this was a female movie and I'm a male who likes males and can see the female side of thing but this was demented.

2 stars for the support cast who put up with a bad script and an even worse story. EEEHHHHHHHH

Fool for Love (amongst other things!)

So another night at the theatre, well actually my return to the theatre after a trip away and yes another to come this weekend.

So this looked exactly like Killer Joe at the Downstairs theatre and that's not a bad thing as that was a damn awesome set and play.

This play did however rely heavily on only two characters for a large part of the play and both were not really attractive which did at times hurt my eyes and also annoy me (as my nose was running and I was feeeling a little ill).

So anyway the play was a demented love story about a weird love story (also helped out by song @ the rear of the theatre by the dad (?) playing the guitar and moaning lyrics) about a brother and sister USA hook up. Only in the USA would brothers and sisters hook up!

So the play was good, nice and easy to follow but a little long in parts. A good play is a short play and straight to the point and I think there could have been a few things cut out of this baby to make it a short, sweet effort. None the less it still rates a healthy 3 loved up stars

Film Freak - Paranormal Activity 2

OMG is all I an say, after a VERY slow and drawn out start this movie scared the pants off me! I literally thought a heart ache was around the corner!

This movie was damn scary and I nearly ripped my friends arm off in the tense parts.

Look these movies are made on a smaller budget than most Hollywood horror films but they do suspense about one million times better. The lack of gore is also welcome.

The linking to the first film was terrific and the whole 2nd half of the film was near flawless.

I would have to say I had the worst sleep last night after this picture but a bit of tension is always good (as long as it's not sexual tension).

Paranormal Activity 2 rates a scary ass 4 stars.

Top 5 @ 5 - Camp Tunes for Purple Gay Day

Yeah it's meant to be good to wear purple to support the young gays today so I do my current top 5 camp favourite tunes

1. Kylie - Get outta My Way
2. Katy Perry - California Gurls
3. Lady Gaga/Beyonce - Telephone
4. Usher - DJ got Us Falling in Love Again
5. Kylie - Pop Your Hands Up (for Love) - well I think that's what it is called

Film Freak - Made In Dagenham

GIRL POWER is two words that echoed through my head after Made In Dagenham.

I did enjoy this film however as a man I think it would have been much miore enjoyable as a woman.

The cast acted this number out well and the film was done well. However it was a little long, the real footage and interviews with the women who went therough these hard times at the end made the film more realistic.

I must say a free film is always a good film.

Light the Night 2010

After a few years of attending this event they have now dumped the usual comedy routines and left out a lot of musical theatre numbers and subuistuted these for more contempory numbers which are okay, but some are just plain awful.

The evening has a lovely feel to it, but the talent has really gone down hill a bit. Rob Mills destroyed both the Temper Trap and U2's anthem all in one messy Australian Idol wave of mass destruction. I was almost ill when he tried to hit the high notes on Sweet Disposition, just awful.

Iota again was a standout in this years line up, Old Man River was also impressive and Josh Thomas as the host was a refreshing change which was interesting as I never liked him on TV but loved him in this scenerio. He offended lot's of oldies so I don't think he will be back next year but I also think I will give it a miss too.

Other moments of mention, the Jersey Boys cast were good, the oldies loved them, could have done without Wendy Matthews, could have been a few more upbeat numbers instead of boring old ballads.

Overall a hit n miss night out, but in the end all the money raised goes to a great cause, I just think they need to rejig the programming and ditch the Rob Mills factor and bring back the likes of Amy Housewine and various other comedians.

2 and a half stars.

So farewell Thailand and hello Sydney

So yes I am back in Sin City and have said bye to the lovely country of Thailand.

After loving the shopping, massages and all the friendly people, it's time to head back to work and back to Sydney.

My Thailand holiday was one of the moments of 2010, I had such a ball and totally miss all the lovely people and my new friends in another land.

Coming soon many more film reviews and the occasional theatre and live music review.

Film Freak - The Expendables

The Expendables could be the best or worst action film of the year. I can't quite work this out. Seeing a movie in foreign lands is cool because it's so different. Firstly it was 5oo baht! SO EXPENSIVE, no 500 baht is around 15 Australian dollars and for my friend Carly back home this include free popcorn and some random chip things.

We also had seats in like banana chairs, hence the guy next to me had his blanket and a cocktail and had a quick (well the duration of the film) kip.

So back to the movie, we are in a freezing cold cinema, the Thai's know too forms of temperature, hot outside and the Alaska's inside. I am freezing, my popcorn has turned to ice and the movie kicks in.

It's violent, it's cheesy and it has some random cameos but the Expendables does not pretend to be anything other than a random action film with a thin plot and big action sequences. Look if I saw it at my local Hoyts I would give it 2 stars but overseas this movie was the shit, 3 stars.

So it's been a while...

So yeah it's my last day in Jomtien today and I must say I am a little sad but also happy to return home to the beloved city of Sydney.

The trip has gone super fast and I have enjoyed the few cultural things I have done whilst in Thailand, the not so cultural shopping and bizare movie experience (full review next post) and all the relaxation one can fit into a weeks break in South East Asia.

So my trip comes to a close and I will do a final re-cap of the trip upon entry back into Australia unless I get stopped by Border Security (Hello Grant Bowler).

So yeah not much to report on today, it's hot like every other day, I'm off for another massage, the hotel owner where we are staying has kindly offered to cook us a farewell lunch (you don't get that at the Hilton, imagine Paris cooking, it would be like coke for started and smack for mains).

So there we have it Bang My Cock cuming to a big farewell. I love you long time Jomtein and Thailand, Singapore airport here I cum!

Pattaya Shopping Check

Yep it's offical all my shopping centers in Pattaya have now been visited and made purchases at, even the Ripley's Believe it or Not attraction got a look in.

Very busy day today, beach walk, beautiful Chicken Cashew Nut Stirfry for Breakfast, Massage, Beef Mince stirfry plus sweet rice and mango for lunch, Shopping, more shopping, beach run in Sunset/thunder storm/lightning. Oh the Tropics!

So yeah it's all happening n shit as I prepare for another night in Jomtien.

Oh good grief the girly bars keep screaming at me "you welccccccuuuuuummmm" I reply I like the boys, and one even yelled back "I am Lady Boy" oh the Thai carnage!

So yeah signing out hope your long weekend was fully sick luike you ate out at a bad Thai street stall.

Night Markets & A Thai Indian Drag Show WTF???

After a long afternoon @ the beach with lot's of random shopping and services, we headed off to the local night markets with the owners of the hotel/units we are staying at.

It was great to go with a local as you got a great price on your shopping items. I got some fab new knickers (aka smalls - one size fits all apparently here in the land of Thai) and a top kick ass T-Shirt for around $4.

I then headed off to the Venue a little cabaret bar where they host the longest drag shows in the history of drag shows. The show featured one great track with 4 back up dancers and two lady boys doing an Indian themed dance and song. Very amazing, great dancing and fusion of two very different cultures.

My morning today started off as usual with a walk around my local area. Locals now recognise me and bow and nod and some say hello or hello my darling depending on the stretch of the beach.

I have just finished off my fourth or fifth massage where the owner has showered me in gifts by giving me a number of good luck charms. Let's just hope they work LOL.

So today it is Ripley's Believe it or not in Pattaya and then some light shopping. I think I need new shoes. Then we will see where the night takes me. I must say my sleeping over here has been amazing, no stress, no worries just 8 hours of pure bliss sleep next to the beach.

Until next time ciao bitches

Boys Boys Boys Goes - Bang Bang Bang!

Oh Thailand where on Earth would you find a strip called Boyz Town with every type of Go-Go boy, Massage joint (with a happy ending) and everything in between. GOOD GRIEF!

So Bang My Cock is now old, I have been here in Jomtein (aka the upper market version of Pattaya) for a few days and I have become a regular at the above board local massage place (great foot massages, except my blisters are just even too nasty to show the poor massage people), the local 7 Eleven and a regular on the beach where you can get everything from Pineapple and other fruit, to fake tattoos, massage, pedicures and manicures, all of which I have now had.

The trip has been great, shopping, beach, eating (I have gained about 17kg) and checking out the local sites which today included a Thai temple on the local mountain. I love this whole Buddhist thing it's ace, maybe I have found a religion for me. Or maybe not.

The people here are super friendly and quiet forward at times, but hey I have realised while being here the man I recently meet is the best man in the world and I can't wait to see him when I return.

So Thailand, love it, it's fun, it's cheap and it is a hell of a lot better than sitting at home watching those vile Dragons win the NRL grand final. Damn dragons and damn their fans y'all suck.

Okay well another update in a couple of days, happy long weekender make it a bender for me :)

More on Day One & Two of the Bang My Cock saga

Forget to the Twilight saga where nothing happens, my saga of a 4am start yesterday that went almost 24 hours is now just a distant memory.

My morning started with the vile sound of my phoen alarm @ 4:15am I then proceeded to Sydney International with Peter and a lovely car trip with Peter's roomie Neville.

We then boarded the fantastic A380 to Singapore which was just amazing the entertainment, food and service of Singapore Airlines was second to none. The staff were amazing and the movies, music and TV on these flights was simply terrific!

We got to singapore airport for a light shop and wait before another great Singapore airlines flight to Bangkok. After a one and a half hour car trip to Jomtien beach we were all set for a drink and a Thai drag show. I was shocked by the number of hookers and stray animals. Welcome being yelled and screamed from the bars was my first real memory of Thailand.

I woke up in the blizzard that was my hotel room after only six hours of sleep. Saw all the beach boys setting up the beach for the day and stumbled upon some of the local services liek this one, the Internet Cafe. Breakfast was divine and $3 AUD!

So it's onto Central shopping centre today for a light shop, then a nap then some dinner and then another night on the Thai town. Oh boy this place is hot, such a nice change after Sydney's bi-polar wheather.

More updates to follow soon. I miss you Sydney and may SIA scoop the ARIA awards on November!

I have a brand new favoiurite airline in Singapore Airlines and I cannot believe how many scooters, feral dogs and cats and hookers are in the land of Thai.

More updated cuming soon....
