ELEKTRO SAURUS LOVE

ohay,

2009-09-18T04:23:00.000-07:00

so, it seems i haven't blogged for a very long time.
since then i've gotten obsessed with donnie darko UH-GAIN! and fallen in love with Monorail Cat! Thank god for teh intrawebz!!!1!!11
i have become a total rebel, seriously i'm such a bamf these days -____-"
and i like this band called enter shikari, yuuh, they're pre' great.
i decided on what job i would like :D
i decided high school isn't so bad after all!
and i am crazy for small plastic cups of frozen reconstituted orange juice affectionately known as OJ cups.
Here is my song:
my OJ cup is frozen hard,
makes me say,
"oh my lawd!"
thank you, for blessing me with
80 cents to pay the canteen fee,
it tastes good!
and i know, as such,
this is my OJ cup, you can't touch!
okay so maybe it's not very original but the lyrics mean so much to me! n___n
so, i suppose i've changed a lot since i started this blog, maybe that's a good thing for the people who read this or maybe not, but it's good for me.
oh and the chuck palahniuk writes the most incredible books.
good day.

I missed you :)

2009-05-06T20:26:00.000-07:00

I'm back like ~~cooked crack~~....the cat in the hat! hah I see no one missed me :/ well...I don't have very much to say, I was just in the mood for posting today as I am home sick with a suspected case of swinefluenza (or so everyone keeps saying) umm I don't have much news. I feel like changing the 'unprofessional' layout of my blog. oh on Monday I have an interview with one of the biggest corporations in the world...they're going to pay me their blood money for turning burgers over so fat people's hunger can be satiated. I feel a little bit bad about this. My mum says I'm selling out and preying on peoples addictions and supporting globalization and all that but then she's not the one paying for all the stupid things I suddenly decide to want (i.e. 12 plastic 'deputy sheriff' badges from cheap as chips ;; thanks grandma C:)I do need money. I feel sad because I live in a world where you can't get money without hurting someone or doing something damaging. Aaanyway here is a short list containing things I love at the moment....
LOOKBOOK!
it is so interesting! it's amazing how cool some people are! and it makes me want to go to finland and sweden...the awesomest countries on our earth.
anyways NEXT thing is the band P:ano I don't exactly know how to describe them. Their myspace says indie/folk/pop but y'know that sounds boring. They use so many interesting sounds in their songs, my favourites being 'dark hills' and 'hiroshima mon amour' But yeah, P:ano are simply the best...well second best. I still love Emmy The Great with all my heart.
and lastly Edie Sedgwick! I don't think there'll ever be a celebrity (?) / famous figure I love more. ever.
here she is with bffl andy warhola. (L)

umm that is about all for now... goodness what an atrociously disorganised post! well I'll leave you with this hilarious (?) advertisement for Lucky Strike cigarettes...
love, peace and hairgrease ^^
ho ho ho

Sorry.

2009-04-08T04:10:00.001-07:00

hello. my life is a bit of a farce and I don't have much time for you anymore. But I still love you. I'm very sorry. This is not the end. This is just me warning you I we might not talk for a while.
Sorry.......^__^

Of Intergalactic ice confectionaries, New Order and the future that never was...

2009-01-31T21:11:00.000-08:00

We are in the midst of an angry heatwave and there is much sweating and gnashing of teeth but there is an answer...Zooper Doopers!!! They come in 16 cosmic flavours including Fairy Floss Forcefield, Bubblegum quasar, deep space Lime, Jaffa Jetstream, Toffee Apple taser, Strawberries & Cream cluster, galactic grape, Rasberry rocket, solar Shebert and many more. I know that totally sounded like an advertisement but it was just me expressing my love for the little tubes of frozen sugar water...I thought they were a relatively obscure product but on googling them I found a heated and often amusing discussion/debate on the best and worst flavours on inthemix.com. In my humble opinion the best is grape and the worst Beaming Banana although Jaffa Jetstream was pretty foul as it tasted like chocolate as well as orange which isn't the best flavour for what is essentially icy cordial. Sigh I don't believe how much I just talked about ice blocks. In other news I've gotten into New Order their best song being Blue Mondays of course they are in no way as good as Joy Division but I'm enjoying them nonetheless.
One thing before I stop typing...does anyone wish they lived in the future of the 50's??

I'm really getting into the whole retro-futurism thing at the moment. It's really interiesting to see peoples depictions and predictions from different eras...they're way cooler than current foretellings (no pun intended) unfortunately I think that's because modern predictions are more accurate..in other words the future will probably be real boring...especially for this blog. It tires me what do other people think about PERMAMENT DELETION??
I think it's time for a nap.

Lest We Forget
Today is the day the best show on Nickelodeon was pulled from free to air television in 2001.
Rest in peace Rocko, Heffer, Filburt, The Bigheads, Dr. Hutchinson, The Woolfs and Spunky.
And god bless Joe Murray.

Koga Family Park

2009-01-31T20:44:00.000-08:00

Koga Family Park is located in Shiga prefecture, Japan and I desperately want to go there mainly in the hope that I get spirited away but also just because I find it really interesting to see those huge structures being eaten by the jungle and it makes me imagine Dreamworld in this state. How weird would that be? Overgrown Australia..

CuteXdooM2:Anita Fontaine;GoMA

2009-01-31T19:35:00.000-08:00

When I was at GoMA (gallery of modern art in Brisbane) I came across this amazing video game in the New Media art exhibition. It's called Cutexdoom2 which sounds like a scene kid's myspace name but is in fact an interactive art installation in Playstation2 format about the strange completely unexplained obsession the world has with all things kawaii.Here is a description by the (australian) artist Anita Fontaine "Cutexdoom is where extremist nu-wave cults and consumerable plush icons unwillingly combine." Playing the game is exhausting for the eyes as colours flash pulsate and zigzag across the screen, static roars and the landscape warps, blurs and glitches intentionally. It was one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had and now I'm hellbent on figuring out how to get hold of the game...at GoMA I think I accidentally drowned the protagonist Sally Sanrio in some noxious looking rainbow coloured water trying to escape Yumi-Co's toy temple (Yumi-Co is a cult of fanatical worshippers of cute..their god is an adorable robotic panda)... Yeah I could'nt get many pictures but there are more on her Flickr...But ANYWAY definitley check out the video on her site. Really do. It's masterly.

CUSTOMiZED SUGaRY GOODNESS DiSPENSERS!!

2009-01-31T19:14:00.000-08:00

ATYPYK make PEZ even cooler than they already are. Impossible you say? Believe.

Mentally ill bats have flow.

2009-01-30T22:20:00.000-08:00

Hi , first post of the year...I'm back from Brizvegas and I've started high school (scary!) am still contemplating the termination of this blog because I can't be bothered posting these days and I have waay better things to do. Ummm I've been rewatching long-forgotten childhood favourites (technically I'm still a child lol.) on Youtube such as The Brave Little Toaster (which despite containing the most disturbing dream sequence in the history of G-rated movies remains one of the sweetest animations Ive ever watched) and Ferngully:The Last Rainforest.
I know Ferngully is majorly majorly corny, out of date( I don't think anyone has used the expression 'bodacious babe' for at least 17 years) and initially made as extreme enviromentalism propaganda but at the age of 6 I was crazy about it...actually I was pretty scared of the motor oil drinking demon and I hated those australian fairies. But I LOVED the bat and his song. Laugh at me all you like...

I probably broke the VCR by rewinding back to this multiple times...
anyway I will post again when THIS HEATWAVE IS OVER because it's making my logic erratic..

2008

2008-12-29T15:39:00.000-08:00

For me 2008 seemed more futuristic and progressive than past years. Maybe it was Obama, maybe it was me realising at the start of the year that top 40 music was not the only kind or maybe it was the giant Hadron collider. I don't know.

WOW SUPER COOL ETCETERA

2008-12-15T17:32:00.000-08:00

Street artist Flying Fortress has done the inevitable and made a vinyl toy of his famous army bears with none other than L.A.'s Buff Monster and of course it's glittery and cute. I might actually get one seeing as it is Christmas soon.Not that I'm the biggest supporter of Christmas.
I think it's a kind of plague that causes our culture to buy a lot of stuff. No one needs Christmas crackers really do they?

Impermanent Albert & Random thoughts

2008-12-15T17:17:00.000-08:00

The best ever excuse to refrain from car-washing! For more click here.
I'm in limbo it's the holidays I must save myself from daytime TV and excessive amounts of Caffeine and public swimming pools and Magpies. I think Magpies should be abolished or at least sent to a sanctuary where they put ex-politicians so they can eat their eyeballs instead of mine I just hate their I-Vant-To-Make-Your-Hair-Into-My-Nest schtick. Sorry if I've offended any Magpiphiliacs or Magpies.
*sigh* I'm going mad.

I had a budgie but it died.

2008-11-28T19:04:00.000-08:00

I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I depleted the world's supply of exclamation marks. My extended hiatus from the blogosphere was mainly due to internet faliure and incoming year 7 graduation (I know, I'm small.)I did'nt really mind the break though. I heard that old Aristotle quote 'We are what we repeatedly do'and I wondered if I really wanted to be just a blogger but I don't think I'm quitting anytime soon.
Anyway on with the stuff...

Okay super thanks to Peaitlreiecnia author of the amazing always interesting AWKWARD DIGGRESSIONS? blog for this shiny award, see I've never been tagged before but I'm just gonna follow these regulations.....

6 Things That Make Me Happy...

1. Seeing my baby sister Miriam being all cute and stuff

3.When you're at a dull as dead people function and you make a bored little kid laugh.

4. When you make some friends who are as crazy as you.

5. Spongebob marathons. There I said it. Don't tell anyone.

6. Thinking about the future, the one where the cities have fallen and we have lost power over nature.

(I don't have a picture for that at the moment)

So yeah.

The Trapdoor or I have turned into an old whinger

2008-11-15T18:01:00.000-08:00

I don't remember any important or momentous things that happened in my early youth (like,5 or 6) but I do remember this show. It's original and entertaining plus the theme song is so bad it's good. My favorite character is Boni followed closely by the thing upstairs . I remember sitting and watching this a very long time ago along with Rugrats,Daria,The Angry Beavers and Rocko's Modern Life. They were so good, the kids TV shows at the moment are banal and stupid the originality, quality and intelligence has deteriorated but it's meant to be the other way around, there should be better shows now...We've devolved and it's annoying.
Anyway what was meant to be an appraisal of how good The Trapdoor is has become an extended lament about the state of childrens programs today.
What are everyone else's favorite bygone cartoons?

Sublime Stitching

2008-11-14T01:52:00.000-08:00

This site has inspired me to start stitching there are so many cool patterns and kits you can get
I love the Julie West one with the bumblebee...

My Pet Monster he's a friend you can depend! My Pet Monster he's a monster of a friend!

2008-11-13T00:13:00.000-08:00

Lol I want one of these so much! They stopped making them in the 80's so they can be hard to come by now but there are some on ebay. If I ever do get one I promise not to channel Julian Hamilton and wear it on my head on national television.
Actually if the chance arose.....

"The Birds! The Birds!"

2008-11-12T00:37:00.000-08:00

Possibly even better than those mutilated Barbies with melted hair that are hidden in the untidy rooms the world over , is this 'Hitchcock Barbie' inspired by the Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds.
This is only a blueprint though, fingers crossed Mattel decides to sell these.

Dusk Til Dawn 2

2008-11-08T22:31:00.000-08:00

While the official video is really cool (Pip Brown a.k.a. Ladyhawke stars in her own little B-Grade horror musical) this second take is heaps better cause' it stars her family and friends! I have'nt really heard of a muso doing this before. The tune itself is super catchy which is what you can expect from the kiwi queen of 80's revivalism (seriously she makes legwarmers and synthesizers seem like they were invented this year). Anyways take a look you might recognize some familiar faces such as Sia Furler and Dev Hynes.
bang bang bang on the wall....

Coffee Things

2008-11-01T23:43:00.000-07:00

This thing (above) is so cool it's actually an espresso machine....for mad scientists! It looks so much better than the brick things with all the pointless settings. And while we're on the subject how good is the caffeine molecule bling and awesome 'I am not a paper cup' ceramic 'mug' up top both from Thinkgeek.

Kepa Rasmussen & his crazy masks

2008-11-01T23:20:00.000-07:00

These nightmare masks by Kepa Rasmussen make me wish I did Halloween, they're awesome. Kepa makes a living out of creating "Wearable sculptures and topologically extruded masks" yeah I'm a bit jealous.

I'm Hungry

2008-11-01T22:56:00.000-07:00

Wow I never thought I'd see the day when somebody would make a ring with an Oreo on it! Well actually I never thought about it that much. Most of these things wouldn't suit me at all but if I saw anyone else wearing these I might eat the jewelery off of them.
They're actually pretty cheap and they're hand-made.You get them at Ku-Ki Shop.

A lot of journals

2008-11-01T22:36:00.000-07:00

This is amazing, way back in August 2000 some guy thought it would be cool to send out 100 journals into the world with an instruction fill a page then pass it on. Now there are 1000 journals out there revolving around the planet being filled with dreams, fears, guilts, loves and hates some people even included pictures, strands of hair, movie tickets, food wrappers and mixtapes. You can try and get through all 1000 of them on the 1000 Journals Project website. I think I only worked through about 20...It's super interesting though definitely check it out. Apparently you can still get them if you feel like continuing the legacy.

I want a Pegleg

2008-11-01T22:22:00.000-07:00

Well not really but I want one of these blazers from Pegleg NY. The lumberjack pattern thing has been going crazy for a while now in various colours but never all at once! I like.

Kris Moyes Fan Club

2008-11-01T21:57:00.000-07:00

In my mind Kris Moyes is a modern hero of music video (and other stuff) directing like up there with Gondry and Jonze and co. He has directed videos for Sia, Hercules & Love Affair,Wolfmother,Cut Copy, a super crazy one for Architecture In Helsinki and an equally psychedelic clip for The Softlightes. Plus he is catching up to big brother K.I.M. in the fame department. now go watch some videos now on his site or on the tube...I recommend Softlightes Microwave Song...
That is all.

Argyle Whale Stuff

2008-11-01T21:49:00.000-07:00

How adorable are these prints from Argyle Whale? I love the Infinite Lemmings one the most.
I just wish they came on tee-shirts....

An Englishman In New York

2008-10-27T02:58:00.000-07:00

Banksy wreaks creative havoc on NYC.
Bless him.

Lupe Fiasco

2008-10-09T16:13:00.000-07:00

In this picture he may look like another irritating hipster rapper but Lupe Fiasco is actually the Saviour of modern hip-hop. His songs address issues such as refugees, gang wars, corrupt police, the exploitation of indigenous Americans, child soldiers, terrorism, violent video games and their affect on kids the list goes on. Here are two of the music videos...
Little Weapon the best song of 2007 (video is made up of parts of the movie Blood Diamond so is quite violent)
American Terrorist this song needs repeated listens almost every single lyric references an issue that could be discussed for hours.

Thanks everyone for all the comments...

R.I.P. Seth Fisher

2008-10-08T01:09:00.000-07:00

This post is dedicated to the legendary Seth Fisher. Sure he died in 2006 but back then I hadn't read such awesomeness as Vertigo Pop:Tokyo and Happydale....above are some of his pictures (just so you know what comic nerds are missing) it's a pity there won't be more.

Omg! Lia?

2008-10-08T00:14:00.000-07:00

How awesome is this handmade jewelery? Very awesome I say....Plus the designer Lia is an Environmentalist and Feminist and she makes most of the jewelery out of recycled materials. This is a link to her site.Love it!

Deth P. Sun

2008-10-07T23:16:00.000-07:00

"In The Cove"
"Believer"

I am in love with these beautiful eerie pictures by Deth P. Sun. There were so many amazing images on his site I just couldn't post enough so make sure you bookmark it. Most of the pictures are of these cats but there are wolves, whales, mountains and Zodiac themed images also.

Lightspeed Champion

2008-10-05T03:00:00.000-07:00

I love you Dev Hynes!!! I don't think he can hear me. Yeah this guy has just redefined pop...I no longer think of synthesized vocals and nameless backing bands when I hear the word.
I just think of an acoustic guitar, a keyboard and love lost and found....
Go listen to the Champion on his myspace immediately.

New Era hats by Upper Playground

2008-10-05T02:17:00.000-07:00

Once the domain of gangsta rappers and their homies but now the ball cap has been made into a work of art.....The culprits are Chris Lee (skipping people with chainsaws?!) Dora Drimalas (the little bat) and the creator of my personal favourite (the blossom tree), Sam Flores. You can get them all for some outrageous price at Upper Playground.
Yah that is all.

Ecko Force

2008-10-01T00:17:00.000-07:00

How hyper-nerdy is this Mark Ecko hoodie...I want it!
Thanks Yeezy!

Crystal Castles

2008-09-30T23:59:00.000-07:00

CC are one of my new favourite bands, the band consists of awesome bearded multi-instrumentalist/super-producer Ethan Kath and my all time hero singer Alice Glass.Some of their songs sound kind of like the sound effects of an 80's arcade game mixed with robotic beats and strange distorted vocals but some of them are ambient and dreamy while still danceable. so go check out their myspace now-ish.
Sorry my posts are so boring these days...well I'm not actually that sorry

Tale Of Tales

2008-09-27T07:25:00.000-07:00

This is possibly the best animation of all time. It's a 1979 Soviet film directed by Yuri Norstein and it's just brilliant...Watch it right now!

Visit Jeremyville

2008-09-10T21:45:00.000-07:00

Hey, you know the cartoons on Minties wrappers? Well the guy who drew them has come a very long way! Check out his stellar works here...

Ghostpatrol

2008-09-10T21:22:00.000-07:00

Check out the art of Ghostpatrol right now...so awesome!
All the images on their site were so good I didn't know which one to put up!
The above print I found on Tiny Showcase..It was $20 so sadly but unsurprisingly it is sold out :'(
Go to their site..NOW!

Eagle Vs. Shark

2008-08-28T01:34:00.000-07:00

This movie is a classic, it's now one of my favourites... I initially hired it so I could enjoy the great kiwi accents and because it had Jemaine Clement but it's a great film and I won't forget it.
Watch the trailer but more importantly watch the movie!

Lazy Oaf Is Totally Boss

2008-08-24T03:49:00.000-07:00

I love this crazy jewellery! It would make great gift *hint hint* you can find it at Lazy Oaf along with a lot of other ace things such as cards, sweatshirts, DIY milk carton kits!? and scarves shaped like pencils!

Jimmy Freebie's on TV!!

2008-08-16T02:53:00.000-07:00

One of Jamie Hewlett's less popular but still awesome comics 'Get The Freebies' is on TV!!!! In Britain :( It follows the story of Kung Fu cop Terry Phoo and teen misfit Whitey Action who find themselves fighting a gang of Queen-killing mutants called The Freebies led by Jimmy who has a basketball for a head... The pilot aired a few months back and a complete season will air soon on BBC3 ...Hopefully its downloadable as there is little chance that any Aussie channels would air it.
It's already got better reviews than the last Hewlett film adaption Tank Girl.
Sorry I have'nt posted for so long...
xx

They're from Sydney ... OK?

2008-07-29T04:21:00.000-07:00

The Presets really are Australian! Why does everyone act so surprised when they find out? Must be cos they're so awesome :)
Watch the video for Girl & The Sea below and see for yourself how great they really are.

The Cans Festival

2008-05-24T17:32:00.000-07:00

A Banksy Organized Spray-Stencilling marathon? I never got an invite :(

Watch the video below

Apak

2008-05-23T17:15:00.000-07:00

I really love Apak and now they have a new exhibition -"Worlds Of Wonder" its at Giant Robot Gallery, NYC! all this is making me consider moving over there...one day. Anyways the new exhibition is really cool, its made up of sculptures and paintings in the original Apak style, artfully cute with beautiful concepts and all. Here is just a sample of "Worlds of Wonder" exhibition!
Be sure to check out ApakStudio!

Papaya!Creative Abandon

2008-05-23T16:11:00.000-07:00

Look at these beautiful notebooks!!!(left)
I love them all! you can get them @ Papayalicious.com!
where you can also get Magnets, cards and gorgeous wrapping paper!
hurrah! I too have been sketching and colouring my own imaginations and ideas!
I would put them on the site but i'm worried they might get used for things without my permission. Sad how these things are. I have been drawing some inspiration from Koralie(Pink girl pictured, bottom), who currently has an exhibition at the Joshua Liner gallery in New York. Why they couldn't make it in Adelaide I don't know.
yeah okay I'll end right here. !mwah!

hey
hasn't it been a while!
i have a lot to say but i cant be bothered saying it so i will just down my new favourite things :)most of which is british.
first of all i have become a big fan of M.I.A.-"Paper Planes"and The Wombats"Let's Dance To Joy Division"
I also am in love with Takashi Murakami who is a japanese visual artist not very well known but really cool sort of abstract complicated cartoony type illustrations. He did the cover artwork for Kanye West's Graduation Album..Enjoy
