Bongers

Bongers are up in e-bay!



No customer feedback details, so its going to be a little quiet.

We are getting a shipment of 24 from the states, just to see if they will sell (we have sold about 35 to friends and family) so tell your friends!

Egg Records

Well I finally made it into egg records in the City Mall. One of the better secondhand record shops in Brisbane.

Still going through a Mob Mould phase and came out with the singles to 'A good Idea' (Copper Blue) and 'Your Favorite Thing' (File Under Easy Listening). Actually I had forgotten that the last album even existed until I saw the sleeve design for the single.


They also had a copy of 'Modulate' and a copy of 'Body OF Song', both for $9.90, but I had forgotten which one was the electronica album and which was the Husker Du-ish one. Jimbo, they should both be on the racks still.

Also pucked up the single 'Don't You know' by the Troggs/R.E.M. Recorded during their Out of Time/Automatic Era.

It's late and I'm plumb tuckered out from finding a way to photograph the same room 12 different ways.

Twas the nite before 20.

So I've discovered that my group photos on hr flikr account wont show up untill they are vetted by the flikr PTB.

No problems, I will probably post here, on the April 20 Blogspot site and on flikr, both my account and on the April 20 account. The April 20 account photos will show up in their own good time.

Both me and the missus are working tomorrow, so expect a flood of activity in the late hours as both of as are partaking this year. I am working in a small room with 2 computers, so I'm going to find an 'angle'. Next door my co-workers, Alex and Courtney are also twenny-ing, they both work together in a small room with 3 computers, so they can go crazy.

The Tanya Donelly fans over at Slumberland did'nt quite get it, but give them points for trying. I will post a link on the April 20 Blogspot site if anything happens..

As for the R.E.M. fans, so far nothing.

Look forward to Symes hourly updates - :^)

April 20' the second



Whohoo. The lead up to April 20 has started.

Ive posted invitations on a R.E.M. fan-site and a Tanya Donelly (Breeders, Throwing Muses, Belly) fan-site. So I guess we have gone international.

I'm working this year so lots of photos of a sterile room with Final Cut Pro and an Avid. At least I'll be able to show the world my lunch again.

The drive home takes about 45 mins, so Suzanne may even get a cameo.
