Metarie

I heard a rumour that Bowie might be playing T in the Park in which case I'm there. With bells on. Throwing my knickers at the stage.

Genius. One of the more eloquent things I've read in the papers recently.

Best gig poster ever

last year it was voted for on the night. I say voted for...craigy and bri passed their collective judgemental eyes over the crowd and picked out the winners

Possibly my favourite place in the world (on a sunny day). My friend and I were trying to explain it to another friend last night and all we could come up with was excited squeaks and references to Ferngully :S The grounds of Haddo House are lovely to amble around on a frosty day as well.

My mum warned me about it. My dad and her used to go occasionally back in the day but it wasn't until my dad's birthday a few years ago, which coincided with Binky's last Deadloss gig that I got them back down there and they fucking loved it. My mum was binned...chatting to Bri and Craigy I believe and my Dad and boyfriend sat (who were meeting for the first time) sampled the various malts behind the bar and got on like a house on fire. Best night in the Moorings ever.

Ah...I remember my first time...copious amounts of Addlestones, dancing to Dr Hook and seeing a friend of a friend get a pint glass stuck to his ass as a birthday present. Fun times.

I'm waiting for the influx of Mighty Boosh spottings there must have been over the weekend. Apparently they were in Snafu on Friday. Julian Barratt was mooching around Union Street and popped into my work for a coffee He's much taller than I thought he'd be...and a lot more smiley

I don't know why everyone is moaning about HMV promoting pop acts or chart music...has anyone looked at the charts recently? There's a huge variation of music being bought by people and a lot of it fall under the huge umbrella term that is 'alternative' which encompasses rock, indie, electro and so on and which is pretty much what Moshulu is all about these days. I think it'll be a shame if Moshulu goes all commercial and becomes a 'sponsered by HMV' type venue, but honestly, I've noticed nothing but good things since Barfly took over (apart from maybe the removal of Strongbow....but I'll get over it). And all that article is really talking about is HMV taking over the company which sells the tickets...surely it just means that there will be another place to buy them in town? Everyone is so negative about change!

Last seen after Moshulu on Saturday night being very generous with hugs before disappearing into the night...what a chap

Wow, two daughters turned to prostitution...mommy and daddy must be so proud. Every story I've read about a girl auctioning off her virginity has ended with the girl in question turning out to be a lesbian who has been sleeping with chicks for years. Hardly pure and innocent.

That's the genius of the plan you see, a captive audience I used to love Eddie Izzard, his older stuff is great but I'm not convinced by him these days. Especially now he seems to be passing himself off as a serious actor.

Really? People are going to start bitching about the carpet AGAIN? Didn't we say all we needed to say on the topic with the 8 previous threads?

Yeah, I've been caught giggling away to myself walking down the street as various Conchords songs come on my MP3 player, good stuff

in that case I reckon gordon's, smirnoff, bacardi, jack, grouse and martini will serve you fairly well. And get a big wooden rolling pin so you can muddle limes and smoosh ice properly

Things like sugar syrup are easy enough to make, you can find recipes online. The rest of that stuff is fairly easily found in supermarkets. I think Asda has a fair selection. While I'm sure some people will disagree with me, I think you'd be better spending money on the alcohol and the main mixer (tonic, fruit juices etc) rather than the syrups as a lot of the time they just add colour and a hint of taste. Don't know if you're a big gin drinker, but if you are you should try some Feverfew tonic. It's lovely, rather tricky to get hold of though. Goes very nicely with Tanqueray.

My folks are paying for my flights for a long weekend in Amsterdam in the New Year, so that was the bulk of it. Also got Skull Candy headphones, Tegan and Sara - The Con, new Bill Bailey DVD, a zippo lighter, an alarm clock, a homemade bracelet with card suits on it, bottle of Sailor Jerrys (complete with ginger beer and a couple of limes...nom nom nom) and some cashmere socks. Because otherwise it just ain't Christmas.

Kitchen Cynics as an 'extreme' band. Love it

I'm going to be pedantic and point out it's actually an 'advice' thread How should I tell my boss that he's a pathetic little shit who is only making life harder for himself by being such a cunt, without getting fired?

The Illicit Still is usually open.

Missing a phone call and being left a voice mail on my mobile which says something along the lines of 'Hey, it's me. Just called but you're not answering. Bye.' I can see I have a missed call, who it is from and when you called. There was no point is wasting your credit and mine by leaving such an utterly useless message. Ditto my manager phoning me 3 times to tell me something I didn't need to know in advance, which made no difference to my shift and only served to interupt my day off. People who clearly give you the evil eye and have a problem with you but never actually have the guts to have it out with you.

There's a bunch of people who stand outside a flat on Crown Street and shout for one of their friends, they do it at all fucking hours. Instead of just going to the buzzer and getting hold of them that way, they stand in the street and shout 'Claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaire!' until the girl opens the window. Then they have a 10 minute conversation shouted across the road about where they can get drugs that night. I hate being interupted. My dad does it constantly. He asks me about something and when I reply he butts in while I'm talking. When people who use overly impressive words to describe their jobs. Like describing it as a PR Team when all they do is hand out flyers at night. And people who constantly upload photos of themselves posing on Bebo. We get it, you think you're hot. Can we move on?

screen name is the name of a song by brendan benson which I love. I use it for most internet related things. Rock star name would be Honey Rosemount...again a bit more porn star than anything else. I love how many people gave their first pets a name which is interchangeable with a sex workers though. Mind you, makes me concerned for the next generation of Ab-Mus...

I didn't like them Every song they played ripped off a riff or beat from another band and they had no stage presence what so ever.

She wasn't mainstream back in the day though, fetish photography and such like was all very hush hush and illegal. Anyways, sad times indeed, 2008 seems to be the year of celebrity death
