Gaslight Music: Melbourne’s Most Naked and Awesome Record Store

September 28, 2009

Melbourne’s best and most bizarre record store has got to be the sadly-demised Gaslight Music. What other music store was famous for annual nude days, semi-secret promotions which involved making a spectacle of yourself in the store for free CDs and in-store appearances that constantly resulted in the store’s destruction? Although it closed in 2005, [...]

Moving to Melbourne

February 11, 2006

A series of interesting events and conversations has lead Adam and I to decide we’re moving back to Melbourne at extremely short notice. Like, less than a month short notice. Why did we just move back to Sydney again? There’s a number of reasons for the pending return to Melbourne, mostly job-related for Adam, and [...]

I’m Incensed

November 9, 2005

Well, thank you very much, Dr Karl. You’ve promptly destroyed one of my few remaining secret homo indulgences: burning incense. Here I was, innocently presuming the rancid odour of a bushfire-ravaged fern gully was peaceful and shit. Now I find out it’s the pollution equivalent of standing in the middle of a six-lane freeway and [...]

Evil Hoodie of Big Gay Love

October 16, 2005

My ages-old iPod completely died in the arse on Friday, so I ashamedly purchased an iPod Scratcho today. It seems okay so far, but from what I can gather, it should have begun the highly functional and stylish Apple process of self-destruction in a few days, finally decomposing as a metal husk resembling nothing more [...]

The Apprentugilist

March 31, 2005

Easter was spent in Melbourne, where I promptly decided to slip into Pimp Mode and strut around Crown Casino like I owned the place. I’ve got a real soft spot for blackjack, mostly because I’m incredibly fucking good at the game – taught myself how to card count and all. So after anguishing over blackjack [...]

Things Adam hates about Melbourne

July 25, 2003

1. Skim coffee is called skinny coffee. 2. Nunchukas were outlawed in Victoria right before we moved here. Yet another chance to legally own his weapons flittering away into thin air. 3. He has trouble pronouncing local suburb names, but is thankfully arrogant enough to try and convince local Melbournites the way he says it [...]

Constipation

March 21, 2003

Work is a great heaving dry monster of a shit plugged far up my rectum, blocking Adam and I from moving to Melbourne and… doing cool stuff. My mind’s in Melbourne but the body’s still stuck here traipsing off to work at the usual ridiculous hours that a rotating roster likes to pummel me with. [...]

MELBOURNE!

March 4, 2003

Yeah! We’re moving back to Melbourne! Rock! Adam thought of the idea last week, and it actually makes a great deal of sense. He’s left his job and is currently working freelance. I’m going to get laid off within the next couple of months (it’s not entirely clear exactly when, but we’re talking about multinationals, [...]

Your Bush Looks Expensive

July 29, 2001

When Adam and I relocated from Sydney’s finest central point of gravitation for AC/DC fans to an apartment near the city, we entered that enjoyable stage of relationships when a couple moves into a new abode together. No longer is it your boyfriend’s place – now you can both feel as though you have equal [...]

Oops! I Got Nadded Again

January 13, 2001

I don’t know about you, but I had a brilliant Christmas. Actually, no – it was the weekend before Christmas that I had a great time. I flew down to Melbourne for the Christmas weekend to spend the holiday with my family. I really felt like going out on Saturday night, but I didn’t really [...]
