After 6 years of dreaming and a tattoo, after fucking adolescence and love and all things inbetween and relevant. Tonight I saw Tzu for the first time. Thank you gentlemen you’re fucking incredible. (Taken with instagram)
The Herd and friends deliver a killer National Reconciliation Week-themed Like A Version with their take on Sam Cooke’s classic, ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’.
THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE !
How much does Saudi Arabia hate women? So much so that 15 girls died in a school fire in Mecca in 2002, after “morality police” barred them from fleeing the burning building — and kept firefighters from rescuing them — because the girls were not wearing headscarves and cloaks required in public. And nothing happened. No one was put on trial. Parents were silenced.

This was the first song I heard from these guys. I heard them at a crucial time in my life- fucking adolescence. Now I’m not one for hardcore extremity or anything, I couldn’t even tell you my favourite of anything. HOWEVER, it was one July spent at Byron Bay for Splendor and I decided it would be way totally cool man to get a tattoo of ‘tzu’ on my wrist. How embarrassing. HOWEVER. These sounds that are produced along with the timing of my adolescence, my social surroundings, my past experience of LIFE and the fact that a sexy red bearded man was involved (past and present manfriend) have since seemed to have defined much of how I view the world, my political views, my then-future music taste, my travelling spirits. It is not that I have consciously seen this music and band as something that controls who I am. It merely has impacted me. In a dramatic way. I remember late afternoons at the bus stop in the middle of the bush kicking stones around while waiting for my mum to come and pick me up and memorising all the words to ‘reminisce’. I remember being furious at the world whilst listening to ‘The horse you rode in on’. I remember being introduced to politics after listening to ‘listen’. I remember craving to be hot and sweaty and dancing in an outside gig under trees and sun and dirt when listening to ‘tzu blues’ and ‘got to do’, I remember not feeling hope and listening to ‘all fall down’ and I remember dreaming of travelling the world in mindset of ‘the travel song’ and how whenever I hear it I fall into a lapse of uncontrollable wonder of the world„ and all thats in it. So thank you very much TZU. I can’t wait to finally see and hear them live tomorrow night at the Corner. !
Bendall says it’s fine and you’re strange but in a good way but not a way I’d like to get close to„ but you seem so eager yet I feel there is an agenda but I’m unsure of your awareness of this existence of the common reality that isn’t so common. The curiosity the gaze and I speak to him through this weird smoke like haze and I don’t think before it’s too late and now it’s all over and was it cherished I can’t remember but I do know that there is this kinda of era that separates us and there is maybe this twining of culture tangled and spiraled, and it hangs on and creates this sense of dreaming and connectedness between the two unknown yet familiar faces„
Dear Centrelink GO FUCK YOURSELF. I wait on hold for over 20 minutes EVERY SINGLE TIME I CALL YOU and after waiting this long, I AM DISCONNECTED EVERY TIME so i have to call back again and stay on hold again. My account has been disabled, so i can’t declare my earnings, which means I won’t get paid which mean I will have to yet again dig into my savings. First world problems I know, but come on Australia who the fuck are you?.! I play by the rules I don’t try to beat you at your bureaucratic piece of shit system and i still fucking fail. Erghhh.
‘no baby’ bonus for alcoholics and drug addicts ? Cool yeah let’s control the future of some of the most vulnerable in society. Everybody deserves a chance and every body deserves the right to choose their future. The sterilization of a whole population of people, doesn’t this sound familiar oh yeah when Hitler decided to commit genocide and the whities decided to knock off the first peoples of this land. Learn from your mistakes world.
