This is the most realistic video I have ever seen...

about working in commercials.




Thanks to Mr Flower for this one!

Animal Collective @ Brixton academy

The guys were still good. They played a lot of older stuff this time, which was enjoyable. Their stage show has got more lights and trippy stuff going on now too. However, the sound at Brixton academy is so shit. It was frustrating to the max. A song would come on and you'd get all super pumped and then all you can hear is the bass and the tops. No midrange. Anyway, they still ruled, was just a little sad about the sound.
Fuck Brixton Academy. Fuck it right in the eye with some garden shears.

I'm getting old.

So I was listening to this review of The Watchmen movie (which I thought was pretty good all things considered actually) and the guy reviewing compared it to those old records you used to get where you'd read along with a cliffs notes version of the movie and the records would play sound effects and dialogue from the films, and you could also read along with the story. He basically said that the Watchmen film was like a read-a-long version of the graphic novel.
Anyway.....whatever.............
I had completely forgotten about those things! So I looked them up and found a few photos of the ones I owned. I found some pictures on an antique toy website. Antique! For fucks sake.
I then tried to turn around and see if James (the fella that sits next to me) had heard of them. He is 25 so I changed it to tapes instead of records because I remember they made those as well and I thought he may be more a cassette kid than an LP kid.
He just looked at me blankly like I was crazy. So did Lyndall when I asked her.
They had no idea what I was on about.
Ugh.
Anyway looking at these pictures brings back all sorts of fun time memories of sitting on the lounge room floor and turning the page when Indie cracked his whip or R2 beeped.
Funny thing is my brain is now putting those memories in a kind of sepia tone grade, with 8mm film dust on them and lots of weave as the film goes through the gate.
Fucking arsehole brain. I bet it thinks its really funny doing that. What a cunt.
