Now that I’ve got that off my chest …<\/p>\n

Spent the weekend scrubbing fridges, well two, and moving furniture. Sarah and Nick have got a gorgeous little place in town and funnily enough she wanted all her furniture back! It’s actually left the lounge looking better, it was a tad crowded before.<\/p>\n

Gilby brought his dad’s (?) trailer, which he towed with the newly purchased (from Sarah) Big Red Beamer, ’tis a nice piece of machinery, pity it chugs so much oil<\/a> or I’d love one.<\/p>\n

Wednesday night Jess was in town, back from Vanuatu, and we headed to see Sarah Blasko<\/a> at ANU. I missed most of 78 Saab<\/a> which was a pity, I haven’t seen them for years.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Ms Blasko put on a top show, I didn’t really know many of her songs, but she’s got some really good ones. I particularly liked a few she did with just an acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n

In other music news I’ve been consumed<\/strong> the last few days by “Frances the Mute”<\/a> from The Mars Volta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s a bit prog-jazz-funk-rock I guess, a bit of a breath of fresh air after the last few years’ selection of minimalist rock, Grinspoon it ain’t. I never really got into At the Drive-In<\/a>, which was the precursor to The Mars Volta, but I’ll have to look them up now.<\/p>\n

I’ll certainly be grabbing a copy sometime of the MV’s first album, De-Loused in the Comatorium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m also loving Ani DiFranco’s latest, Knuckle Down<\/a>, it’s one of her best I think, although it’s not like she’s ever done a bad album, so it’s probably just enough to say it’s an Ani DiFranco album – buy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
