Rep IX

Lowrider.

Adelaidian soul hip-hop. This band has been around for a few years now, i first saw them live in 2008 and was blown away. Last Saturday night was no different, the new songs were as brilliant as the old ones and played with so much energy you just had to dance.

Unfortunately they are one of those band who aren't leaked on to the internet (or im just being too lazy in finding a link) so you have to go out and buy their records.

Rep VIII

I really have nothing to say

Repent, forget allowed my stay

Less of a goal more of a play

yet nothing is my way

Dangerous or an empty rush

the cynical side of lips and blush

fake life, fake hair all hush

regret, life and death crush crush

The child or the man both love

nothing but the opposites

or opposing seats

Your eyes go down

Your are nothing if you actually do exist

to see and to feel some acquired taste

all of life is mirrored by your nothingness

Mainly a shadow

sometimes a light

your not even real

your words of might

I see how you act, how you move and think

just let go, give up, just sink

it will all be over soon then what will you have?

no friends no personality no true fight

you are not yourself, not a individual

you less than a clone and twice as shallow too

no one truly cares about all that shit

its just a facade a front, we are all just empty pits

Hate you for trying, hate you if you didnt

your stuck in your place and you know it

now try and finish

you are not the stories you tell your friends, the lies you create, you are not your carefully selected words to contribute to the conversation. Im not sure if anyone else does, but i can see through you, i do see through you. Why do you even try? what is there to gain? trying to be something that makes you unhappy enough to make you like this probably isnt worth it.

Rep VII

My life is complete.

One of the most emotional, amazing and generally brilliant films I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Die-hard fans such as myself will not be disappointed. They will be blown away.

Rep VI

Long weekend = alcohol = loss of several hours = best weekend

day 1, actually night 1 went down a day early because we could. Drank, got drunk, sung along to Elvis for a few hours, slept.

day 2, beer o clock, everyone else arrives, incredibly wasted, going to the beach at midnight, not much else is remembered about the other 22 hours in the day.

day 3, chill feeling amongst the group, felt like summer days, share another slab with the intention of taking it easy, slab was gone in 4 hours. Soccer! AUS 0 GER 2, not much point watching more.

day 4, dead. lost trying to get home. finally home, dinner, sleep.

Solid break.

Rep V

Its been a while.......

After watching a ch7 commercial break, i have become increased with rage. The X factor? The biggest NEW show? FUCKING HELL. Danii Monogue host the horrible excuse for a tv show about 5 years ago and it was thankfully axed. Why the fuck is it being brought back? why the fuck has everyone forgotten that it was fucking disgusting and rightfully removed from our tv channel. Simon Cowell is on the show boasting about how good the show is going to be. Simon you're a fuck head, thats all. Anybody who even catches a glimpse of this show by accident is DEAD to me and that was to be taken literally. The people who watch this show are the same dumb fucks who made Avatar, which was the worst film ever made, yes, even worse twilight, the highest grossing film of all time. OMG it's in 3D! OMG its so visually beautiful! OMG look at a fucking Dali painting for beauty. God. Fuck.

Rep II

The Dillinger Escape Plan

May 17th so close............

Now for the hate-

Recently i download a fair heap of chiptune/nintendocore music. Im not at all saying its bad, i happen to love HORSE the band, but when you try to fuse sections of a genre, that in most peoples opinion is the worst part of that particular genre, you get horrible crap.

IM TALKING TO YOU :( or OPENCOLONBRACKET whatever your stupid name is.

btw the (new) post-hardcore singing is the section of the genre.

Also with the upcoming Dillinger concert im really annoyed that they are not going to play Gold Teeth On A Bum or Highway Robbery.

Rep I

Canto will focus on my general disgust over everything and how often that changes depending on different moods, days, colours and indirect banter resulting loss of sleep.

Object 1. Garage band

All im trying to do is create horrible mess of sounds that doesn't resemble anything in anyway other than atonal, free time noise. Why the fuck is there no blast beat samples?

Object 2. Kid A (radiohead)

at first listen i will admit i would have been much too musically immature to grasp the concept of this album. After having a second listen 2 years later, after a vast collection of mind expanding music had penetrated my ears, the album is still crap. Fuck you sputnik for not letting it rate it a 1, 2 is the lowest it would allow.

Object 3. Not eating wheat

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THINGS HAVE WHEAT?

Object 4. Insomnia

if only my insomnia was productive, ie FIGHT CLUB, then perhaps it would be ok.

Object 5. colonopenbracket

horrible chiptune/nintendopunk. So bad.

Fifteenth Representation

Because sets of 15 are rare and hard to come by, PROTIM Canto pt.1 is now complete.

Something lost, something uncertain of its trivial existence

is nothing more than the hollowed shell it excretes

NON-BLOG

*insert unique, pretentious and interesting band name you hope your friends haven't heard of*

*insert band picture depicting the focus on musical subject matter rather than image*

*insert (brief) band background, anecdote, opinion on either a particular album or the entire band*

*possible tracklist addition here*

*link to download this/these album/s potentially destroying the original discovery of the band by you, as now your friends may listen to it and offer and opinion on it*

Fourteenth Representation

I decided, as this is a milestone (for no particular reason other than i said it was) for me, To dedicate this very special blog to the empowerment of the white man as the holy saviour and hope that he is able to overcome his sex addiction and learn the truth about his originals from his dying mother whom he pays her medical bills for by pretending to "Choke" in fancy restaurants and having complete strangers save him and pay him to help him get back on his feet.

Long sentence? can you believe im a B+ student in year 12 english?

Anyway what im actually referring to is a movie called Choke.

The movie stars one of my now favourite actors, a man known as Sam Rockwell.

After a very dear, somewhat KFC buckethead friend of mine told me the story line of a book he was currently reading called "Rant" i became increasingly interested in the author Chuck Palahniuk. Yes, the same man who gave birth to the novel that was to be turned into my favourite film "Fight Club." One man producing two of the most interesting story lines i have ever heard? not likely. But as curiosity overcame me and i read the plot to everyone of his published books i began to worship this man as an idol, as not 2, but all of his books have some of the most intricate and mind-blowing themes and scenarios i have ever come across as a reader.

The film Choke has an almost typical brilliant performance from Sam, likened to his performance in both Moon and The Green Mile. He plays a con man (not the first time he has done that, Matchstick Men, haha) who is having somewhat of an identity crisis. It is littered with sex and Sam's characters ability to picture every women he sees either naked or getting ravaged by his Rockwell.

Great film and i strongly recommend watching it

4.5/5 <=== Sputnik Scale (for those of you playing at home)

Thirteenth Representation

Sunday afternoon, chilling after a good weekend. 7 hours of Godspeed material, i plan to sit through that because i dont want to do homework.

"..... meanwhile your 100kms away, playing MINI golf."

The man himself.

Arj Barker - comic genius. Balls was the funniest part of early sunday morning.

(and yes i did search for the worst photo of him i could find haha)

Twelfth Representation

Last.Fm has decided to skitz itself and not work......... All this stupid program has to do is count plays nothing more nothing less but can it do that? no! it fucking cant! it fucks itself over constantly i mean come on some one send out a patch or an updated version.

Found some post-rock this week that absolutely blew me away, something about this band just hit me in the face and held my head underwater until i had an epiphany. The band is called Sleepmakeswaves, they are from Sydney and i think in my honest opinion all the post-rock i listen to this is the second best EP(if it is an EP because some places say LP) i have ever heard (the first be Slow Riot by Gods Pee).

Eleventh Representation

Gearing up for another 21st this weekend. Should be huge and to my 3 or so people, that i know of, who read my blog one will be extremely excited about this haha.

Music wise i have got much to report but i just got a few new albums so will have a bit to say in 12th rep. New bands i acquired are Soap&Skin, Toe, Sleepmakeswaves, new Circa Survive and Desidia.

Tenth Representation

Money Problems

Man I'm running pretty close to being broke, ever since I got a car and started paying for petrol. That and a more expensive phone plan (damn you iPhone!).

There's heaps of stuff I want to buy, like some more records (Jane Doe re-release, some GY!BE), and a record player set-up so I can actually listen to them. Also I need to have my guitar set-up which costs an outrageous price (to get it done well).

Although as I'm thinking "woe is me, and the $20 in my bank account", I can't help but feel like a spoilt brat in a developed nation, whining about not being able to afford the extravagant luxuries in life, whilst others not only in poor, war ridden countries, but in my own country, starve and go cold, struggling through everyday...




But fuck the poor, I need to build my pretentious vinyl collection for online credibility and a sense of self-importance.

MAN THE FUCK UP HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

joking Eddie i love you x

Ninth Representation

I bought one of these for my car. What a wonderful device.

Been listening to this band a bit lately great album and just released four free live tracks from it on there myspace.

Broken Bells-

There debut album is great and well deserving of a listen.

Get on it

Broken Bells - Broken Bells (2010)

Post-Rock

For all you Post-Rock fans out there you will know that there is a huge and diverse range out in the world. I enjoy almost all of it with the exceptions of some miss-labelled bands who are crap in both genres any (cough* MOGWAI, DO MAY SAY THINK). But for some unknown reason, even unknown to me, i want to expunge my knowledge of post-rock and break bands up into subsets of the epic genre to better classify these bands.

All criticism is welcomed. (related to the categorising Eddie).

Upper Echelon-

Bands who redefine post-rock, the bands that produce the most thought provoking music ever made.

1. Godspeed You! Black Emperor, clearly the best and most amazing.

2. Sigur Ros, take the genre and push the gentle genre beyond its boundaries.

3. Fly Pan Am, band that takes you on an uncontrollable ride.

Middle Echelon-

Bands who are very similar to the lower section but do the same thing only better.

If These Trees Could Talk

La Verite

Mono

This Will Destroy You

Yndi Halda

Lower Echelon-

Bands who perform the genre to there own extents of melody and climax, amazing but still not anywhere near the Upper area. Bulk of Post-Rock bands fall into this section.

As The Poets Affirm

Because Of Ghosts

Caspian

Collapse Under The Empire

The Evpatoria Report

Explosions In The Sky

God Is An Astronaut

Hangedup

Joy Wants Eternity

Musically I have nothing really new except Godspeed You! Black Emperor are reforming

and i have now listened to their entire discography except this illusive tape.

All Lights Fucked On The Hairy Amp Drooling - Is a lot like chasing your own shadow,

everyone knows about it but no one will talk, you know? its like there scared of something.

(sorry for the Shutter Island quote) But if anyone acquires this that would be wicked.

SIXTH REPRESENTATION

MUSIC WISE NOTHING TO MUCH GOING ON GOT DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN TIX FOR MAY 19TH WHICH WILL BE ROCKING.

OTHER THAN THAT FAIRLY BORED

Fifth Represention

Slightly more optimistic today

But still FUCK INSOMNIA

Fourth Representation

ever had one of those days where everything makes you feel like shit? how bout one of those years? fucking hate having a contradicting, insecure, unwavering, self-loathing, hateful, spiteful brain.

All i want is normalcy

All i want is to be content

FUCK.

Unformulaic Approach

Some looked red while the others turned away

nothing is for sure unless all those are refused

are informed and then led to disarray

The entity of life is not only forsaken within

it is forced by the pulse of all to shake down

the thoughts of higher appreciation to sing

Perhaps a contradictory response to the ruin

of the mankind's essence is a gradual misconception

unknown to those in the know.

Follow hearts of soldiers in the time it takes to fall

forget nothing of the place where war was played out

by men of inequality and degradation left so small

Erect stands of idols who in turn only turn back

to the memory of innocence and total exclusion

life destroyed by repetition of meaningless

Save what's left on the right hand as crumbling

walls pile over the horizon misguided.

Third Representation

The combination of sleeping pills, painkillers and general vitamins must give

an acidic effect coz im tripping out!

Hating the fact that new ipod music doesnt sync to ur

Crutches are Shit!@#$$

Elfen Lied is fucking amazing watched from start to finish last nite
