As part of ‘ celebration of awesome female music, I give you a personal favourite – Carleen Anderson singing with the Young Disciples a quite few years back.Her mother, Vikki Anderson, was a kickarse singer too.

Oh dear, I seem to be having a bit of a David Sylvian festival this weekend — Adrian, it’s all your fault! I love this song

There’s a rap song I keep hearing on JJJ that contains a riff from a song I used to love when I was a teenager. Its been bugging me for ages but today I finally tracked down the original: I’m Falling by The Babys, 1977. And you know? I still like it!

Shinoko from Ninjaz With Attitude left me this message on MySpace when I sent them a link to my blog review of their gig:Your enthusiastic efforts in aiding our war on mediocrity shall not go unnoticed. Should you ever need our blades for any shady end, your enemies will be smited with much vengance.AWESOME!!!

So yesterday arvo kaaronwarren accompanied me to the Landsdowne Hotel, Broadway to see an old friend’s band and catch up with some other folks. We sat up the front, sipped our gin & squashes, had a bit of a chinwag and watched Alastair’s band The Blindfolds do their stuff. A bit of a walk down memory lane for me as I spent pretty much all of my free time from the ages of 15-19 hanging out in scuzzy pubs listening to bands like this.The set was only 40 minutes long. Other friends turned up and we moved away from the stage to talk as another band performed — a duo whose name I didn’t catch. They sounded good but I complained to Monika about their boring clothes. I dunno, is it too much to ask for a bit of stylish costuming from performers? These two looked like they’d popped on…
