I don’t like to post dodgy music, but this is a song that isn’t going to be released anyway so it’s a public service. Here is Sarah Blasko and Darren Hanlon playing ‘Hold Your Horses’ by The Go-Betweens at the Go-Betweens tribute night last year. It is a beautiful song, and waaaay better than the original version. If you can spare a minute, have a listen.
I can’t find anything like this on p2p so if you are an uploading type, pls stick it in your folder.
Oh, and do you like my ‘Winter Of Our Discontent’ header? Sorry if it takes a long time to load. I just need a break from the old envelope, you know?

I really dig the new header but are you gonna adapt the rest of the page to match? It’s a bit clashy clashy at the mo’ :)
I don’t think I could deal with Sarah Blasko AND Darren Hanlon. I value the roundness of vowel sounds too highly.

Lucy - It takes more work to put that one up, but one day I’ll do it.
Tom - The header is temporary: redesigns are fucked. PS: I’m not sure what you’re getting at with vowels, but Darren Hanlon doesn’t sing much on the track. He plays ukelele mostly.

Just found your blog, and I like it! Do you have archives or am I missing something?

I think he hides them in his special place, velveteen.

I like the new header. I wish I wasn’t such a techno tard, so I could fancy mine up a bit! =)
Also… lovely song. Thanks for sharing.

strange, even though i’ve never met you i still miss you now you’ve moved away.
sarahanlon eh? too ***sweet*** for me in theory, but in practise it’s not bad. (the ** around sweet are what my tastebuds look like when sweet things hit them.)
also, i’ve just been checking out http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ which is running a “small cool apartments” competition. great for inspiration and stuff. anyway, the entrants all have to write a pitch about why their small apartment is the coolest, and your post below reminded me of them, but much funnier.
thanks for making all my mornings funny :)
(and go check out that website if you want apartment ideas)

Velveteen - I canned the archives for privacy reasons, but you can get some stuff either by hitting ‘highlights’ or by hacking the post urls to get lower-numbered posts. Highlights has most of the best stuff tho.
Nails - You are just mean lately.
Julia - ta!
Serrin - cool website. Hope everything’s going well in WA :)

Only lately?
