To Provide Any Further

Oh oh. You may have read earlier in the week how I had sort of decided that enough was enough and that it was time for me to settle down again and that I'd been getting a little excited about things. Well, ah, I don't quite know how to say this, but I was reading this dude's blog and I downloaded an album by a group I hadn't heard of, but one that I was interested in hearing. It's Vitalic. I read a few reviews and they all had glowing reports, even going so far as to say this is the album that Daft Punk's Human After All should have been. It immediately piqued my interest, so I picked it up.

It's fantastic. Totally rocking and grooving and blippy and bassy and housey and electro-y and perverted and dirty and just amazing. It's when I hear things like this that I start to get a bit worried. I know what it leads to, and I know that it's bad for me, but I really want it. I want to be in some dark club with music playing too loud and people moving and people drinking and people with a wild look in their eyes. And I want to be one of them. It makes me want to smoke, it makes me want to drink, it makes me want to get on it, it makes me want to lose myself into the night. It's totally dangerous and that's what I really like about this album. Uh oh.

Plus I realised that it can all be over for a little while as the Big Day Out is coming up and we all know how much fun that day is. Even if it is the first day of school the next day. Especially because it is the first day of school the next day.

Another album that's leading me astray at the moment is one that I've mentioned before. Well, not so much the album as the group, Pendulum. They're a drum and bass posse from that city way out West, Perth. I wrote about the remix that they did of Prodigy's Voodoo People and I was listening to the radio the other day and heard another of their songs. It also kills. Dear oh dear oh dear. These groups need warning labels or something. Enjoy resonsibly. Listen to in moderation. Album kills. Tunes are addictive. Listening to whilst pregnant may harm your baby.

Apparently the Dandy Warhols are playing in the Vegas tonight, down at the Tivoli. I really should have organised myself to go and see them as the last time they were out it was a fantastic show and not only because Zia refuses to wear a bra onstage. Apparently she's a mother now, so I wonder if they would be lactating breasts bouncing beneath her t-shirt. That's not quite right somehow.

I finally watched that Chapelle Show with Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories. The one with the catchphrase, "I'm Rick James, bitch!" I ended up feeling a bit sorry for the guy, he obviously lost touch with reality for a little while. Perhaps a few too many yes men and a few too many of those white lines. It'll do that to you though apparently. Still, up until the last segment where Rick doesn't remember hitting Charlie Murphy it was hilarious. Crazy stuff indeed. Perhaps it'd be a nice place to visit, but I don't think that I'd want to live there.

I was watching a bit of television last night and came across a most excellent game show. It was called Shopping For Love. I don't know if anybody has seen it, but it's hilarious. It's kinda trashy and the hosts aren't the greatest and the contestants are a little out there but it looks like fun. What happens is that there's a girl, and then there's two guys. The two guys are given 5 minutes to go through the house/room of the girl to try and figure out what they are like. The girl watches the guy's go through her stuff, and hears them make all their comments. The guy's identity is obscured throughout. They cut next to a shopping centre where the two guys have got 20 minutes to buy 3 designated things for the girl, using up to the $1000 they are given. They next cut to a hotel room where the two different sets of items are placed in front of the girl. The girl then chooses her suitor from the gifts they thought that she would like based on what they saw in her house. They then bring in the guys and the girl chooses. It's then repeated with the sexes reversed. Terrificly trashy stuff, but light hearted and fun. If you're ever up and it's on and you want a bit of a giggle, then I highly recommend it.

I have to try and think up a title for this one. I don't know what I'll call it yet. Got it!
