Dear Fiona, Where are you?  Where did you go?  Why won't your record label release your new album?  I miss you in my life.  Love Robbo

P.S. You're pretty funny too...

He said "it's all in your head"...and I said "so's everything"...but he didn't get it...I thought he was a man, but he was just a little boy...

Tonight I went to sushi in West End with my flatmate. Before I left I set the timer on the VCR to record the OC so I could watch it when I returned. To my horror, when I returned I discovered that channel 3 on the VCR is actually channel 9, whereas channel 3 on my tv is channel ten...I have NO idea why. The point being that I intentionally didn't ( Read more... )

I've thought this for a while now, but it was officially confirmed for me last night...I think this is the best line in a song, ever.

"You once said that I was something to keep, that I was a mess that looked neat..."

It's pretty heartbreaking, and especially so in the context of last night when this line was followed up by the most 'knowing' ( Read more... )

Well after 5 days of being cooped up in the black box studio, I must say I am loving my day off.

I decided to go shopping at coles west end this morning.  DUDE, I can't remember the last time I went shopping there on a Saturday...there was SO many people.  And I really wasn't in the mood to stop and talk.  By the end of my shopping experience I was ( Read more... )

Okay, so today was the first day Iron On spent in the Blackbox studio recording our debut album with Magoo.  My grand plans to keep a studio diary were thwarted somewhat by the lack of internet access at blackbox, and by Ian's idea to make a studio diary that involved the whole band...which I think is a good idea.  Ben lent us his laptop (knowingly ( Read more... )

T-Shirt of the day...

" UNIVERSITY OF XXXX BITTER "

Centrelink, South Brisbane Office...

It even had the Milton brewery emblazened on the back like some mock drawing of the "campus"...so good.
I wonder what they teach there...?

I just went and saw "Ferris Bueller's Day Off " at the moonlight theatre in the botanic gardens.  Wow, I'd forgotten how amazing that film is.  Why aren't there teen films like that anymore?  It's totally anti-authoritarian and leftist and blah blah blah...  But seriously, what do we have for the kids these days to make them question their ( Read more... )

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the songs we are going to record. This is the order they were written, and probably also the order they will be recorded...

I thought I should try and post some stuff leading up to the recording of my band's album, so that when we do start having huge fights in the studio, ya'll might have some clue as to what I am talking about. I wish I was kidding ( Read more... )

Ok, so I have to start out by saying that I have never done anything like this before. "What, write a sentence" I hear you say...(sorry that was bad)...No, what I mean is I've never had, or even been apart of anything that could be considered an online journal before. God, I even tend to stay away from message boards like the plague. I guess the ( Read more... )
