The Only Beer Drinking Blog

You start of with a mainstream track. I think I’m gonna start falling in love with DUBstep.

I just recently found a new awesome place to sit back and chill have some nice tucker and down some grog.

You can get further details and give em a shout out by clicking here cause I ain’t a food blogger and can’t be assed to tell you more about their food, their dishes  etc.

But I will tell you this much.I love this place because they were blasting Audioslave and have recently adopted the pay as you feel like concept meaning you pay them how much you think you ought to pay them. Something like how Radiohead started selling their recent Rainbows album online.

So, be adventurous and check em out yourself. Nuff said. I’m awesome.

Looking back in my mere 25 so years of existence on this beautifully architectured world,  I have always struggled with BiPolar disorder or a split personality. Always wanting to be on the wild side but at the same time knowing I have to keep my reigns in, I usually end up being too wild on one night and too quiet the next. This disparsity drives me insane, because when I start feeling down and emo, I look back at my life and wished I had studied harder or bummed harder, or concentrated on my career a little bit more or had gotten high more often.

Anyway, I’ve finally recorded something and put something out. A one man band called 11 Danae Street which is the street address my family stayed in when we were in Adelaide.

Hopefully, I can get a myspace out to make things easier but having trouble customising the damm page. So for now if anyone wants to check it out the song (which is called Unto Me btw) is residing at my second blog over here.

Or you could just check out the music player on the top right that I just installed in.

Muchos Gracias if you check it out.

Hip Hop is long dead. Electronic music will soon take over the world. But like all things popular this will mean its imminent death as well. Lady Gaga and Pit Bull have already bombarded us with lame hit after lame hit on the radio. Ministry of Sound is playing Electrohop which is just lame.

Sigh. Why does popularity kill anything good in music?

I was too lazy to take any photos but fuck Placebo was awesome. Just gonna steal Likki’s and Jamie’s photos here.

And I can’t believe how many guitars they actually carry around for their world tour. They must have changed guitars at like for every song.

I’m as jealous as hell.

On other related news, I have confirmed that I have an addictive personality. Not new, but yea pretty much confirmed it. God help me please!

Flight of the Conchords – Too Many dicks on the dancefloor

Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks!
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks!
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks!

[Jemaine]
Going to the party
Sippin on Bacardi
Wanna meet a hottie
But there’s Adam, Steve and Marty
There’s Billy, Todd and Tommy
They’re on leave from the army
The only boobs I see tonight will be made of origami

[Bret]
Tell the players, make it understood
It ain’t no good if there’s too much wood
Make sure you know before you go
The dance floor bro-hoe ratio
5 to 1 is a brodeo
Tell Steve and Mark its time to go
Wait outside all night to find
20 dudes in a conga line

Too many dicks on the dance floor
Easy to fix!
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Spread out the dicks!

[Dave]
Too many dudes
With too many dicks
Too close to my shit
Too hard to meet chicks
I need better odds
More broads, less rods
I came to do battle
Skedaddle with the cattle prods

[Jemaine]
Too many men
Too many boys
Too many misters
Not enough sisters
Too much time on, too many hands
Not enough ladies, too many mans

[Jemaine]
Too many dicks
Too many dongs
Too many schlongs
Now sing this song

Never in my life have I performed anything wasted and high before on a stage to a crowd full of people. My mates from the now (temporarily?) disbanded Whitelight have been known to be completely fucked before going on stage, truely living the whole rock and roll thing. Me on the other hand, have never gone up on a stage to perform or play with anything more than a maximum of 3 or 4 beers throughout the night. Plus most of the times I do go on a stage to play bass or whatever is usually for Sunday morning church service (which I have played hungover but not drunk…..shhhhh please).

So last Saturday when I went up during the Penang Intercompany Accounting (aka MICPASS) Annual Dinner, was the first time ever that I had gone up on stage and performed completely F$#KeD out of my mind.

I initially intended to do a cover of Lifehouse’s Spin acoustically but I had been so wasted that I had forgotten the 2nd verse so I had to cut short the whole thing and finished it early. The Malay clerks from EY (which were really cool dudes btw. I joined them for a smoke after the dinner) who were pretty much wasted themselves shouted that I should do another song and my performance was too short. So I decided to appease the crowd, sat down, mumbled something about “Satu Malaysia” and did Belaian Jiwa, which I also forgot the 2nd verse of the damm song as well. Oh well.

Yea, there you go. It appears I pulled it off pretty well! Some came up telling me it was a pretty decent performance. But honestly hahaha I think I knew better. Even in my wasted state I could remember fucking up one or two chords here and there. So, If someone has a video of me peforming that day please buzz me. Haha I really want to know how I play when I am totally wasted.

Singing Off,

Danno

As we count down the last few days of the first decade in the new millennium, I have decided to come out with my Top 10 bands of the decade that has influenced me. Although some of the bands were formed maybe before the 2000s, I have chose them based on the fact that they were mostly prominent during the 2000s and the fact that these were the bands that influenced me some way or another during this time frame. So here we go!

I heard them on triple j and it just got me pumping.
