November CD wrap-up

So, to both the readers. There are 2 CD's you should be checking out.


The Sound Of The Smiths.


All remastered by Mr. Marr.

Here's a link.

(I must shamelessly add that I stood over the guy from JB HiFi as he opened the courier box that contained this CD. What's the point about being obsessive if you cant be really really obsessive. Anyway. I told the clerk that it was for Morgan, and he backed me up.)

And the other is..



Here's another link.

Incidentally, I don't have a local release date for Murmur.

Six Months With A Leaky Boy

Morgan turned 6 months old on the 6th March.

Its been a long, thrilling ride so far.

More Blogging when I can.

Morgan wiggs out..

So, its been almost 6 months, and I haven't really cluttered the blog with much Morgan stuff, really..

So I though I'd take this opportunity to change that..

..and this morning we discovered nothing in the world is funnier than Velcro.

Here's the proof..

..all he was trying to do was to watch the baby in the computer, but he kept on being interrupted by the dreaded Velcro.

Found.

Father, son charged over fake OMO imports

Nicked from ABC online....

A father and son from Sydney's south west have been charged with importing and selling tonnes of fake washing powder.

The owners of OMO asked the Australian Federal Police to investigate when they discovered some Sydney shops were selling a product with its brand name at a cheap price.

A 53-year-old man and his 32-year-old son from Revesby have been charged.

Federal police say they imported about 185 tonnes of fake OMO powder between 2006 and 2007.

The pair will face the Downing Centre Local Court tomorrow.

Which begs the question, why would you make fake OMO?

Stuff

Just in case you don't know...

New REM album on March 31st, Accelerate.

I've heard bits and pieces and it sounds a lot better than the last one.

New Bill Bragg album ' Mr Love And Justice'. Out in mid March.

Clip, clip, bang, bang .

Taken from the James Kochalka site. Hope he doesn't mind but I had to share.

I've cut Morgan fingers three times and can't bring myself to cut his fingernails at the moment. I'm not used to making somebody scream in pain, and I mean really scream. What I have been doing is using a nail file to file down the fingernails, there's less blood that way.

High Score!!

Come to the dark side redux

..yea, I just like to use the word redux..

Observant readers will remember the whole dark chocolate debacle from this post. Well I'm pleased to let you all know that dark chocolate M&M's are now available locally.



So we had a blind taste test, as you do, and realized the Australian M&M's (Dark blue packet) have a creamier texture than their US counterparts (purple packet). The US version also tasted sweeter, but had a slight bitter aftertaste.


And yes, I have written to M&M's to express my appreciation.

War(hol), what is it good for..

There are photo booths at the Warhol exhibition that let you create your own Warhol prints.
