Post Valentines Day 2011

It's been a long time since I've never spent V-Day with someone. So this was a pretty special day for me even though technically it was the day after it, but didn't matter. It's rather a thought than a day, the apparent day where lovers worldwide spend a more romantic day than usual.

I couldn't ask for a better day, it started 2 days earlier, when I received my Christmas/Valentine's day gift perfectly in time. (Check my prior post) Then I met Grace at her's and we went to Waterloo and visited the French House. Definitely something amazing, the atmosphere is authentic and the food is delicious and well priced. We also visited the Dank St galleries where I was blown away by Maria Speyer's etchings and prints and Morgan Shimeld's metal sculptures. We ended up at the Sydney Chinese Gardens, a place of peace and tranquility. Then I had my compulsory sleep in Hyde Park. Oh I love sleeping there. There was also a sick Ibis I fed... that didn't work out so well :p

Morgan Shimeld - 15 Feb til 12 Mar 2011 at Dank St Galleries, Waterloo

Wow the French House is amazing! No photography though, but I snuck this one photo :)

DOOM or Die!

If you do not have tickets to DOOM then you're missing out. Best announcement for Aust for years. Probably the biggest thing for me since Sage Francis.

"He wears a mask to hide the raw flesh, a rather ugly brother with flows that's gorgeous"

I have animal friends that like to drown.

I don't know if I'm dreaming anymore

All I know is that I'm falling, falling, falling.

Listening to James Blake, who's this new dub artist from England. Fresh out with his self titled LP, he's got a slow dub release that's reminiscent of a mix of a vocal trance mixed with dub chill. The equation leaves you with an amazing romantic lyrical trip. Definitely a great start to 2011, would go on the shelf alongside Washed Out or Toro Y Moi in my chillwave and chill dub hits.

Other musical good news is that I've locked DOOM tickets in March. Alongside DOOM is Mount Kimbie, who easily took album of 2010 in my books. I hit a rough patch when I found out tickets to his show at Good God was sold out, I was spewing when I realized this. The next day was spent panicking and figuring out what to do, so a friend suggested I see him in Melbourne. It would be an amazing idea since dizz1 and Lorn are also supporting but bad for me trying to save some cold hard funds. Luckily this story ends the next day when I find out from Grace that MK has a second show. Bought 3 tickets the second I found out, so now I shall see you readers at both events, DOOM and Mount Kimbie.

Recently been overcoming a cold and had an intense fever 1 week ago that I was pretty much sure I was clinically insane. I visited a few new places which were amazing and interesting. Did a photo job which made me love shooting once again. New contacts and new jobs are always fun.

Typing this off my iPad so I hope I'll come back and add some photos or something.
