And we attacked the world and it worked

two hearts rushing into the freaky world busted compromised lonely to be pitied - smashed our glasses & instead went blind no way back thrashed beaten or overcome & so we attacked the world & it worked - put our divisions into place & attacked attacked their betrayals & coded silence coded our response to meet unmet demands why do you do what you do you dead people & why do you bother learning to scream - or even to fly (you know how that's okay but what the fuck's your problem anyway? two hearts thrashing at the stolen world & so we attacked the truth & it exploded fine by us we said here's another radio - scorned by some ubiquitous social scenes driven like a bus through horizontal snow they turned up a heater instead of an amp & so we attacked each other & it worked - flew into flight plans destined for death we attacked the dead & they said nothing - attacked attacked & thrashed against poles tore down maps trudged through wrongs ways now the seasons crawl like stupid traffic & the crows find food even in plastic bags attacked attacked (i can't find your lips maybe you just needed to cry rivers drains two hearts pushing into the freaky stream - attacked the line attacked each other till the emptiness of forever the brittle calls the studded avenues of mistakes brawling - we attacked the world & it fucking worked

Before ... and ... after!

I got my haircut just before leaving Australia on July 1 and, until last week, hadn't had it cut since. Okay, so it's only been four months but as you can hopefully see from the image above it was developing nicely into a Steve Winwood style, with a touch of bogan at the back. Normally I keep it pretty short however and the major question was whether I would be able to stop myself from getting it cut before returning to Australia, presumably looking a little more like Tom Hanks in Castaway . I needn't have troubled myself worrying about it. Last Thursday night I got a call from an American friend named Sean, with whom I share quite a few musical tastes, and with whom I had some great conversations that night in the suitably-named Ho Bar in Hongdae, including one where we assigned 1970s bands to colours of the rainbow. Six shots of tequila, five beers and two gin and tonics later, I asked him whether he had a pair of clippers. Answering in the affirmative, he led me ba...

Tram Recovery Vehicle

Last night I was walking along Queens Parade when along came an old green tram. I think it was of the kind that they refer to nowadays as "W-Class": like the City Circle trams, only green. The tram was going very slowly, heading along Queens Parade towards Westgarth. I began to worry for the tram, due to the huge hill just the other side of the Westgarth shops. I could just picture the tram chugging all the way to the top, only to slide back down again. Then I saw a truck coming along behind the tram. Unlike the tram, the truck was all white. On its side was painted in black letters: "TRAM RECOVERY VEHICLE". My first instinct was to ask why the truck was behind the tram instead of in front, pulling it up the hill. Then I saw the huge bulldozer style front bullbar on the truck and understood: the TRV's job was to push , as well as (presumably) "catch" the tram should it lose its brakes. Kind of like a parent pushing a child on a swing. Well, not rea...
