so okay there's at least two people who live in sydney and live around my general area and there might be more
and i don't have many real life guy type friends
so maybe we should have a meet and greet one weekend. i'm thinking Mahoney's pub and then the big arcade next to it for centralness/gamingness/cheap drinks

good idea? bad idea?

yeah that'd be cool
if anyone is underage we could go to the arcade in broadway shopping centre

George St is one of the dodgiest areas in Sydney... if i'm leaving The Metro after a gig on a weekend i'll cab or bus it to oxford st rather then walk
but around 8 or 9 it should be cool
the bottom floor is all rhythm games
there are heaps of good rail shooters too

i'm actually more into pinball then arcade games... best pinball pub in sydney right now is the Courthouse in Newtown. Galaxy World has one machine right next to the SF4 machine

hey combining two things SB likes - Japan and garage rock - Japanese punk band Ikochi is playing at Hermann's Bar on sunday at 6. Brigitte Handley and the Dark Shadows are supporting and Jay is showing a doco on the Japanese rock scene before the bands... so Sydneysiders should come down!

Margenalised Movie

Phantom Agents Plus Abducted by the Daleks

Phantom Agents Only ever dubbed in English in Australia, with Sydney being its main broadcast region Phantom Agents is literally the Samurai set in 60's Tokyo underworld. This crack team of modern day Ninjas is working covertly against the forces of evil with modern technology, metaphysical powers and a cloak of invisibility. For those who remember it this is a once in a life time opportunity to relive the halcyon days of lost television.

ABDUCTED BY THE DALEKS Come and see the film that had the BBC and Terry Nations estate up in arms. Why hadn't they thought of this themselves, the first feature in which the Daleks are finally liberated from the Dr. Who franchise and not only that, it's full of naked women. The story centers around three sexy young disco babes who have met the mysterious Anna. As they journey through the woods they discuss the legend of The Serial Skinner not knowing that they are already being observed by a more ambitious and ruthless species of Alien: Dr. Who's The Daleks! Be warned: This film contains nudity and sheer stupidity.

Directors Cut: David Cronenberg

Long Live The New Flesh: The Films Of David Cronenberg

Canadian doco featuring interviews with Cronenberg, Stephen King and Martin Scorsese. An excellent documentary which allows the director and his supporters and detractors full rein to discuss the many complex issues surrounding his films. Cronenberg comes across as a fascinating if at times rather odd character who always has something interesting to say - much like his films in fact.

The Italian Machine (1976) This isn't really horror, but it does feature Cronenberg's trademark fetishistic attitudes towards machines - in this case, a wild-looking motor enthusiast who becomes obsessed with acquiring a rare classic model currently in possession of a rich man. In fact, he fumes at the prospect of it being used as mere decoration in the latter's house - the film, then, is also a commentary on what constitutes true art (among the rich man's gallery of possessions is even a stud!).

Blue (1992) Earlier collaboration with actor/comedian McKellar (Highway 61) stars Cronenberg as a porn-obsessed white collar worker. Short and very sharp. =

yeah i came here to post this. they were handing out flyers at Peats Ridge. on the way home some random was telling me that if i liked classic rock i should check you guys out, which was neat
i can't remember the whole lineup but i'm not sure that Brian Campeau is 'prog'. he is amazing tho
anyway if i'm recovered from Peats by saturday (and maybe even if i'm not) i'll definatly be at the Annandale. other people should come too!

um thats not Big Star. thats an FBi Fundraiser where every year they get local musos to cover a double album. last year or the year before it was a Neil Young album. i might go, though i might have a gig on Friday. it gets really packed and i kinda don't like alot of FBi people, tho i technically am one
and OGC seriously i was 100% broke. how was Brian Campeu? you should check out his other band, the Green Mohair Suits. they do kickass country covers. also i really need to see Captains and you guyscover

i'm probably going back tonight

hey OGC last night i was eating dinner and my friend was telling me about some people who had helped her out when she was in a tight spot and she came back with a flyer for your gig and it turned out that it was your manager and i wanted to say i knew you but i forgot your real name

well she might have been joking but it was a girl who handed us a flyer for the gig that was about your band supporting, not about British India playing, so she was connected with the band
do you want us to try to send a reviewer/photographer over?

no idea... i'm heading there after radio so i'll be around from 1pm. the Open Mic portion is pretty informal... i've kinda been ignoring the poetry to concentrate on the band stuff so it should be interesting
i'll def stay for your band
