After such a great weekend it's a reality check to be sitting in your little office on a Monday morning (well it's actually 12:15... still feels like morning) taking your first sip of your large flat white, strong please! and pondering just 'what the fuck am I doing here?'. Make sense anyone? Slightly incoherent? Well fuck ya, it's Monday.
Ok I'm feeling a little better now. Time to focus on something good. Well Monday morning wasn't all bad. Got this great little email in my inbox this morning, a satirical send up of one of Australia's biggest flops in advertising campaigns. It would be un-Australian not to watch this.
This Saturday one of my favourite aussie bands are hitting up The Annandale. The Drones. These guys have an incredible raw, filthy sound which makes you feel like you're covered in grimy dirt just listening to them. Actually that sounds terrible but I can promise you that getting down and dirty is an uplifting experience every once in a while. Occasionally when it rains I strip down naked and run to the park then roll around in the mud squealing like a pig...
Anyway only $10 to see these guys... that's a bargain I tells ya!. More info here.
