35 days till I go Bonkers in Honkers

Number 35 in things that make me BONKERS:

Waiting forever in line in Sydney for a table for a restaurant? WTF!

Don't restaurants want you're business? Put on more tables and get people the fuck out once they have finished their meal so others can indulge in a bit of tucker.

Oh good grief does this send me Bonkers? Yes it does!




Now we are into the top 40 I am going to countdown 40 inspirational artists as well to get me up to Hong Kong/a bit of Bangkok.

Number 35 is:

360

So Aussie hip hop has a new Major player, Melbourne's 360!

His latest album Flying and Falling is a big one and he has guests galore, Gossling, Josh Pyke & Pez to name a few. Go 360 and I think his latest hit "Boys Like You" will be a big song and will definitely fit in on my top 100 songs of the year.



Go 360 and how hot is the Killer clip below:

36 days till I go Bonkers in Honkers

Number 36 in things that make me BONKERS:

Discount email offers and email offers in general, I think there once was a time when people weren't bombed with emails and they may from time to time buy things from Spreets, Cudo etc but now with email after email trying to sell you some random shit I think enough is enough, random emails trying to sell me shit is today's thing that drives me completely BONKERS!



Now we are into the top 40 I am going to countdown 40 inspirational artists as well to get me up to Hong Kong/a bit of Bangkok.

Number 36 is:

Kimbra

I can't believe I haven't featured a lady yet, so here is my first, Kiwi born, friend of Goyte and all round hipster Kimbra, her debut album Vows is sweet as so check it out now.

She will also be at Homebake and various other Summer festivals me thinks. Making her a Friday inspirational artists, well done Kimbra.



So here's some music for your Friday:

37 days till I go Bonkers in Honkers

Number 37 in things that make me BONKERS:

Ugly actors getting their kit off in a small theatre for a long duration. After seeing Mr Glamour last night at Belvoir the young actor who got naked (again - he did in a previous play for no apparent reason) for a really long spell at the end of the play.

Today's bonkers item is nudity live on the stage! But this is okay if you are like Alex Dimitriades or something but not any old joe blow as this drives me BONKERS!



Now we are into the top 40 I am going to countdown 40 inspirational artists as well to get me up to Hong Kong/a bit of Bangkok.

Number 37 is:

The Wombats

After two strong albums the boys from Liverpool, London (not greater Western Sydney - however there is nothing great about Western Sydney) definately did not have the diffcilut second album, their album The Wombats Proudly Present... This Modern Glitch is one of three albums to be nominated for this blog's album of the year.

There tracks "Moving to New York", "Kill the Director", "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)" & "Techno Fan" have become instant indie classics and the boys constantly sell out shows across this fine land.

The Wombats are a force to reckon with and will they be this year's album of the year? I will let you know around boxing day!



Here is their latest and catchy single, enjoy:

And They Called Him Mr Glamour

Playing until 9 October 2011 @ Belvoir Street

Oh a one man play and with full frontal nudity!

And They Called Him Mr Glamour what an interesting play and how difficult it is to keep an audience hooked for just over an hour, however Gareth Davies does this and after writing the text for this play this role is totally him.

After seeing him in other Belvoir roles he totally owns this as he is not the supporting actor but the main and only focal point.

And They Called Him Mr Glamour is good, funny and well at the end shocking, full frontal penis is damn scary sometimes!

Okay so this gets 3 stars.

38 days till I go Bonkers in Honkers

Number 38 in things that make me BONKERS:

Today's Bonkers topic and thanks for the feedback re: Facebook doesn't drive people bonkers, but day in and day out news and information shoots around way too quick and sometimes I think Facebook is not the way to deliver certain messages end of story.

But today what drives me bonkers is slow walkers who take up entire foot paths, who choose to go out when everyone is in a rush to get to work, yes I hate the pace of modern life but sometimes when you need to get somewhere the last thing you need is a slow walker breaking youre gosh damn stride.



Now we are into the top 40 I am going to countdown 40 inspirational artists as well to get me up to Hong Kong/a bit of Bangkok.

Number 38 is:

The Rapture

Breaking my Aussie trend, these New York city kids, as described on there Wikipedia page mixes influences from many genres including post-punk, acid house, disco, electronica and rock, pioneering the post-punk revival genre.

The Rapture have now released four terrific albums and showed the world that they know how to party and make a top party jam.



Let's give it up for the Rapture and today's mid week hump day party jam to bring on the weekend and my Grandma's sister's 100th shit yeah!
