I have just reviewed 20 CD's today and I'm totally tired. Plus, I have a sore wisdom tooth that's given me a headache and a bit of a fever. My super-buddy is away till Monday and I'm generally feeling blah. On a happier note I'm going to see Ted Leo tomorrow with Rocketeer. I can't wait, I sooooo love Ted Leo! He's one of the musical artists that I'd never thought in a million years I'd get to see live. I wish Social Distortion would come to Australia and I'd love to see The Transplants... Common Rider is the highest on my wish list but seeing they're now defunct there's no such chance.
Out of all the new music I heard today I really dug, Texas Terri Bomb she has bright red hair and lipstick to match, tattoos, attitude and a killer rock in roll gravely tough girl voice... then there's Grandfatal they're an Australian Fugazi-influenced band, very cool... I also listened to a Smiths tribute album which was surprisingly good and a punk rock n roll band called Johnny Cheapo which I'm adoring. Oh yeah there's also a cool-as-fuck street punk band, Whiskey Rebels. I love finding new music. I think my CD collection is numbering somewhere in the sphere of 600 at last count. I have some culling to do big time!
I've been going through a bit of a mid-youth-crisis lately... things are topsy turvy with friends... some who I've been friends with for like five years aren't talking to me and won't even tell me why? And I'm STILL waiting to hear about my second job, it's been two months now since I applied they're still dealing with paperwork they tell me, they assure me they'll call me either way it's only down to me and two other people out of over a hundred applicants. I wish they'd hurry up! I've also been contemplating a lot of things. I'm realising more and more that I don't fit into society. I don't feel like I fit in anywhere, not even in the punk/hardcore scene. When I was younger I felt I fitted in, I've since came to the conclusion it was an illusion I don't think any of us really fit in anywhere. I'm pretty over the whole 'scene' thing too. What is 'the scene' anyways? When I did my Leopard Street Droogs interview the other day I asked them that as they where referencing 'the scene' and their singer Anti-Jack said 'It's my friends, my family'. Well if that's the case I can count 'the scene' on one hand... I know tomorrow I'll probably be thinking clearer. Maybe my fever is making me delirious! I might talk about something else....
My mum has been getting worse with her Alzheimer's, she doesn't remember a whole lot anymore and I'm finding it harder and harder to communicate with her
It's really bumming me out... uh oh here I go on the negative tangent again... sorry guys. I kind of feel that as I get older my whole family unit as I know it is slowly yet surely falling apart... is that a common thing? Okay next subject...
I hit the shops today with my nieces for some retail therapy. It didn't really work! Winter clothes are pretty darn boring and everything is either black, brown or some dark colour... you go into a store and it's like 'do you have any blacker?' Emo kiddies would have a field day in winter at the shops. I did get a killer bright pink skirt on sale I've been eyeing for sometime though.
I'm currently reading JRR Tolkien's book, The Simarillion... it's pretty cool to escape the real world and go off on a fantasy adventure to another world. I don't know what I'd do without books and music.
That's about all I got... hopefully with my next post I'll have a pic with me and the man, Ted Leo! Bianca adores Ted Leo... sigh ...
Thanks for listening guys!
mwah, Bianca Rose xx
PS- Breathe... Repeat after me Bianca.... what you're experiencing is only temporary it will past... like the cloud in the sky in the pic below I took at my friend Beckstar's place when I was in Sydney.... T-E-M-P-O-R-A-R-Y... remain equanimous!
PPS- Thanx to all you beautiful people for all the compliments about my new hair

i think you won't get too much $$$ now that burning and downloading is the craze. when i'm in brisbae with w/ends off, i have a rekkid stall in the brunswick markets, if you want me to offload them for you, but my customers are mainly after wax.
retail therapy is the best way to get over the woes.
if you ever want to go on an opp-shopping expedition drop us a line.
that's where the not-so-drab-winter-woolies are at.
