The Hives concert

Havent posted in a while, havent really been inspired and or can't really be bothered lately. This is what I got up to on the weekend:

Saturday afternoon went to the Hives signing at Big Star Records blah blah you know what I don't even feel like going into it. I got my Tyrannosaurus Hives cd signed by all the guys from the Hives.

Picked up Sara then went to the Thebarton theatre where met up with David, Lee, Karl, Jarrod, Zane and Caly. The D4 were the supporting band and I thought I didnt really like them but they were actually really good. Thebarton's a great venue, the lighting was good and the sound was excellent. Next the hives came on, they flat out killed the place. Howling Pelle was so good, interacting and feeding off the crowds energy pulling off the classic cool and cocky attitude they are known for. All the songs were really good and the sound was amazing. Such entertainers. Anyway so that was the best concert Ive ever been to and I highly recommend that you see them live.



Got the Architecture in Helsinki - In case we die album today after thrashing out the mp3's on my computer decided to make the purchase. Yeah anyway um all this be fact orientated and rather plain so shall end it off here.

Oh Reece and myself are doing this creative writing story excersize where he writes a paragraph then I write the next paragraph and so on and so forth until we have created a story. This is what we have so far: http://www.schaefer.id.au/shortStory/. Props to Reece for setting it all up and making it look nice.

I Lost so much sleep on the weekend. Sat morning was woken up by the annoying sound of a bird which i want to slaughter with a meat cleaver and a lot of light coming into sara's room and today morning ditto only got about 4 hours sleep total due to the light waking me up at 6 so will probably be feeling it tomorrow at work.

Oh shit yeah another reason I wanted to blog was I found this wicked band. They are called, "The Knife" there website is here: http://www.theknife.net/mainpage.html
They are so on my wavelength love them i saw a clip of there's called "You take my breath away" and I didn't want to like them but it was impossible, the poppiness and electro, synthy sounds won me over, now im hooked. The only thing is I cant find their mp3's anywhere. Downloaded their film clip and sample mp3's from their site and been listening to them over and over, will definately have to pick up their album sometime sooooon. The Knife are a brother/sister duo from Stockholm in Sweden. Dammit sweden yeah!!! heres an excerpt on them taken from their website

A brother and sister duo (Karin and Olof) from Stockholm in Sweden, they claim their music – which is a glorious blend of melodic electro-pop, machine-made rhythms and dark, curveball twists – is nothing more than pop, yet their songs speak of an informed and subversive political agenda. They refuse to play live - but don’t think this is a bold statement - and deride rock’n’roll for being outdated.

I love this style of music.

Oh yeah another thing that happened on the weekend was I went of Jarrod's house who is a friend of David's, he lives out of the city. And I needed to go take a urinate so I ask where the toilet is, follow the directions and find the toilet. I step into the toilet space and cant find any light switch, the room is dark and i have to feel my way to the toilet basin and kneel down to avoid piss showering all over his floor. So im taking a slash and suddently the hallway light outside the toilet comes on, oh must be jarrod or his housemate I think so shut the toilet door so as not to be seen taking a slash, anyway the toilet door has slats and is seethrough and then all of a sudden the hallway light turns off, but theres no one even there. I thought hmmm thats kinda odd. Walk outside and ask Jarrod if he turned the hallway light on he goes nah i was out here all the time, i tell him what happens and he tells me he has been told the street is haunted. So that was my very first ghost experience, well it may have been who's to know, it was kinda unneasy at the time. I hate toilets and rooms where u go in and the light switch is not in the most logical place and you have to search for it.
