Well it's about time!Lifted from my favourite music industry guru Christie Elizer:* Consumers can transfer material from CDs to iPods, MP3 players and computers. But passing on copied material to others remains a breach of copyright. * They can legally record TV and radio programs for one-off private viewing but not to be played in public. * New measures to combat piracy will

So, it's that time of the year again.The new look and program for the yearly festival was released today (in print; it was online on Friday). I've just read my program cover to cover and have talked myself into 22 of the films. Knowing what will happen though, I'll probably be lucky to see 10. Although, I do have sources that will probably be able to get me into my fair share of free films (*wink

I know most people will have seen the Sony Bravia ads, but I only just discovered the dedicated website on the Bravia Advert. It's a great little website with lots of behind the scenes/making of information and video + all sorts of downloads and wot nots. In the making of, I actually found out the balls used weren't ping pong balls, but the kinds of balls you get as a child, out of those

Yes, I'm having one of those weeks. I started the week back at Uni by falling on my face on Monday night - no joke, I have the grazes and bruises to prove it. Basically, it was dark, I was getting off my skateboard, and my chin made contact with the pavement.Today I had a General Education exam on Marketing - I don't think I failed, I'll probably get a Conceeded Pass. Not only that but I was

Saw the most random and impressive thing in a long time, this week.It was a guy on a penny-farthing! Straight out of the history books and into Parramatta.Old School...New School...Break looks like fun too.It'd totally be worth parting with, but I don't see it being a wise investment right now. Maybe if enough people were interested... *ahem*TOUR DATES:*Wed 21 - Sun 25 Jun - Comedy Theatre,

As you know, I quite like my street art and culture jamming.Not that I've done anything, but "ooh" and "ahh" at other more talented (and game) people's work... But lately, I've discovered a more temporary "harmless" street art form in LED Graffiti.I first saw it on Wooster, and was so amazed I checked out further developments, leading to me following internet instructions on how to make your own

Yes, I'm revealing my oh so vibrant true colours as a pop fanatic/groupie.Bad news:- Dates are only in the UK from late April to June.- Tix are 75 pounds (not to mention airfare and accomodation)- Robbie (Williams) is not there (except 1 show where he will appearently sing 1 song) - he's an ass

Friends of the High Line: How good is this?Trust the New Yorkers to think of something like this . It's a project being undertaken by Friends of the High Line "dedicated to the preservation and reuse of the High Line, a 1.5-mile-long historic elevated rail structure on the West Side of Manhattan. " Basically it's a public park built on an old freight train line in the middle of the city, elevated

So last night I went out to Youth Rock 06, it's part of Youth Week and is basically a band comp for kids in school. My step-bro's band was in it - and won their heat! Finals are on Sunday, so "GO Days Unkown"!They deserved it, it was a very tight performance and they definitly came across much more pro than the rest of the 13-17 year olds. (Days Unknown are veterans, they were in the comp last

My lecturer JC asked why I blog, and where I want to go with it, today.I think I've come up with an answer now:1. Nowhere in particular.2. It's replaced any offline journal, plus;3. I can now talk to people I don't usually talk to, or see regularly for whatever reason.[edit] 4. And also, the point of this blog will be a travel diary, for when I'm on my graff-kwest/musical pilgrimage next year! [

Fun show, improv, acoustic, full house. Tired.Toca (right) and Jason (left), great to see them back on our shores. Hopefully, Jason was saying they will be back in July with the rest of the band. Though he did say he'd be back in a couple months the last time he was here in 2003... Jason makes up a hit song on stage with whatever broken phrases the crowd shout to him, while Toca tries to remember

A few posts ago I mentioned how Punk was the new Pop, well now I don't think I explained it very well... When I say Punk - I mean Punk-Emo.Emo use to stand for "Emotional Hardcore", used to describe bands and music (usually by guys) who look like tough mean punks, but sing sissy emotional almost wrist-cutter music (really basically).Emo is so "in" right now it's not even funny. Here are the

Last night, I ducked out to finally catch one of Sarah McLeod's (ex-Superjesus) acoustic shows.There were two supports, a Swedish girl I didn't catch the name of (she had a very pretty voice), and James Davies (I think). I thought I'd check him out becaues his write-up claimed that seeing Jason Mraz live was one of two factors that made him decide to become a songwriter. I wish Jason hadn't

So, on Saturday I checked out the new Outre gallery in Sydney. Very tiny funky little place, carrying a lot of contemporary artists and designers prints and posters. The U.S artist-couple kozyndan were in for their new exhibition (Bunnies Chewy) and book. They were signing heaps of stuff, so I bought their "Urban Myths" book to get signed - the other colour-in book had sold out.Just as I had

I'm a littled boreded out so I googled myself, as you do, and was surprised that I am ranked #2, #3, #4, #5 and #7 on the first page of results!Yay. #1 is some actress.

I've had a problem the last few months because there has been such an impressive array of choice when it comes to published (advertising) media! Just walking through the city streets and some stores will end with me leaving with armfuls of free propaganda. Ranging from streetpress newspapers, magazines, catalogues, flyers, postcards and now DVDs (like Pedestrian and Rouser)!In the last month or

I've had the most insane dreams lately.I woke up yesterday having dreamt that I was visiting a heritage house in Parramatta, where I saw some very very realistic dummies re-enacting a disgusting multiple murder scene. Complete with scary psycho squeezing his victims guts out through their mouth after having crushed all the bones to watery pulp whist still intact and alive. Not to mention all the

Panorama setting uses three separate photos sewn together on the spot for wide angle shots. Regular black and white setting. My evening watching Josh Pyke (again) at the Spectrum was spent; not so much listening to the music, but me playing photographer with my mobile phone. After the crappy photos last time, I told myself not to forget my camera this time. Alas, I forgot it.So I took prime

Yay. I just got two free tickets to the next Josh Pyke gig, which happens to be a private invite only thing... appearently. So I don't know why they gave me some.But, I thought that'd be a good intro into the work of James Hancock. He is responsible for the artwork on Josh's 'Feeding the Wolves' CD and music video. He was also featured as a finalist in the Noise 25/25. Mostly textual/organic

Punk is the new pop.Electro is the new rock.Pop is the new Hip Hop.And folk is the new emo.Artist of the moment: David Choe. He's crazy, and he's got a Korean background. See this trailer of a new doco on him.
