Cassettes & Chocolate Milk

Although it might look like that C&CM is going through a significant dry-spell at the moment, I can only post to prove this is not the case. The graveyards at Triple R have been going really well, but I still have to wait a few more weeks to hit the airwaves again. I know I've promised some people actual recordings of the shows, but they reach up to 100mb a piece.. and anyone who has any contemplation of how bad my interweb is will understand why this would be a problem. So quite responsibly, I've decided to attach playlists in the comments for every clicker's enjoyment.

But you do know I really don't say that much, anyway.
Otherwise, I've scored some kind of meeting arrangement with the SBS Radio's Alchemy. I'm really thrilled because these guys make the kind of radio documentaries that I'd love to make. After daydreaming about it for so long, I've finally made a start on my first project. But when I say "made a start", I really mean that I've just been fruitlessly hassling friends to partake in a faux vox pop. Now I'm beginning to understand that hassling my people probably isn't the most effective means to score material, so I might have to try another tack. Perhaps bribery by Cherry Ripe cocktail?

UPDATE: I've now collected over FIVE HOURS of material for my FIVE MINUTE documentary.. and I haven't even finished recording everyone yet. So thank you to all my people for obliging and helping me out with my project. Seriously, if I could marry all of you, I probably would. In a big ceremony, probably involving a big woman falling into a big wedding cake. So thankyou, seriously.

In other news, my brother Andrew & I saw the Pet Shop Boys a few weeks ago at the mini V-Festival at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl. The showcase also featured The Rapture, Gnarls Barkley and Groove Armada. Although I should really mention that I was hopelessly gutted to have missed The Rapture by a few minutes, my Pet Shop Boys made up for everything. It was the single greatest live experience, ever. Truly. Not only was the entire show that spectacular, the setlist featured so many cunning obscurities and upbeat surprises (think: Heart, Domino Dancing and even Can You Forgive Her?). Seriously, only my bootlegged recording of the gig be a very close testament to how ridiculously fabulous I thought the whole show was.


(all day, all day) Domino Dancing

Til later, my friends xx
