PUT YO HOOD UP!!

Hello KYS,

My name is Brad, and welcome to my blog.

So, I've been trying to think of what topic to tackle on my first entry, but I've hit writers block.

Actually, the problem with that sentence is that it actually insinuates i know how to write, which after a few of these nonsensical ramblings you'll begin to realise that i am indeed clueless..

Anyways...

Winter, it's finally here and i for one am loving it. There's nothing better than sitting around in a hoody and watching a movie with a latte and some good biscuits, or laying in bed just listening to the rain! Winter, it's simply amazing! As the seasons change though, so does my musical taste buds..

As soon as winter hits there's a few classics that are on high rotation for the whole 3 months, records that just seem to capture the whole feel of winter for me..

Right now they are:

1. The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site
2. AFI - The Art of Drowning
3. Rocky Votolato - Makers
4. The Alkaline Trio - From Here to Infirmary
5. The Bouncing Souls - Anchors Aweigh
6. Lifetime - Jerseys Best Dancers

Over the weekend i managed to have a lovely nostalgic session in the form of 'What's My Age Again' 90's punk night @ Escobar. The whole thing really took me back a few years, it was great to see people get on board, dress according to the era and party like they were the still the age they first heard 'The Offspring - Smash' at.. I was lucky enough to score a DJ spot in the hardcore room for this night, my good friend Connor and i teamed up as 'DJ Night Owlz!' and created a play list that we thought would get the floor moving. Everything from Gorilla Biscuits to Kid Dynamite made an appearance, Escobar saw what I'm sure was their first ever wall of death, staff were not amused. Either way, it was brilliant to relive so many great songs from my youth, a lot of which are still responsible for my musical taste today.

Other things i have been stoked on recently include:

Chicken and vegetable pies.
Bundaberg ginger beer.
Breaking Bad (watch this show people) wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad
Having the house to myself.
Socceroos making it through to the world cup
and
Brendan Kelly from 'The Lawrence Arms' hilarious blog badsandwichchronicles.blogspot.com/

That's it for now, I'm sure you'll agree with me that this blog has been neither informative, nor interesting..

I will strive towards making me next blog something a bit more topical and well thought out.. Hang in there with me as i try and reach blog enlightenment on this journey that can metaphorically be compared to a orangutan learning to ride a small bicycle..

Until next time KYS...m0sh.
