Well it's about time!Lifted from my favourite music industry guru Christie Elizer:* Consumers can transfer material from CDs to iPods, MP3 players and computers. But passing on copied material to others remains a breach of copyright. * They can legally record TV and radio programs for one-off private viewing but not to be played in public. * New measures to combat piracy will

So, it's that time of the year again.The new look and program for the yearly festival was released today (in print; it was online on Friday). I've just read my program cover to cover and have talked myself into 22 of the films. Knowing what will happen though, I'll probably be lucky to see 10. Although, I do have sources that will probably be able to get me into my fair share of free films (*wink

I know most people will have seen the Sony Bravia ads, but I only just discovered the dedicated website on the Bravia Advert. It's a great little website with lots of behind the scenes/making of information and video + all sorts of downloads and wot nots. In the making of, I actually found out the balls used weren't ping pong balls, but the kinds of balls you get as a child, out of those

Yes, I'm having one of those weeks. I started the week back at Uni by falling on my face on Monday night - no joke, I have the grazes and bruises to prove it. Basically, it was dark, I was getting off my skateboard, and my chin made contact with the pavement.Today I had a General Education exam on Marketing - I don't think I failed, I'll probably get a Conceeded Pass. Not only that but I was

Straight out of the history books and into Parramatta.Old School...New School...Break looks like fun too.It'd totally be worth parting with, but I don't see it being a wise investment right now.

As you know, I quite like my street art and culture jamming.Not that I've done anything, but "ooh" and "ahh" at other more talented (and game) people's work... But lately, I've discovered a more temporary "harmless" street art form in LED Graffiti.I first saw it on Wooster, and was so amazed I checked out further developments, leading to me following internet instructions on how to make your own

After completing a website I was working on freelance/for a friend, I'm up for a slightly narcsissistic e-adventure. I've copied Jess's blog (Demented Reality - see blog links) in doing this:1. Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (but not the year).2.

So last night I went out to Youth Rock 06, it's part of Youth Week and is basically a band comp for kids in school. My step-bro's band was in it - and won their heat! Finals are on Sunday, so "GO Days Unkown"!They deserved it, it was a very tight performance and they definitly came across much more pro than the rest of the 13-17 year olds. (Days Unknown are veterans, they were in the comp last

I can now talk to people I don't usually talk to, or see regularly for whatever reason.[edit] 4.

Fun show, improv, acoustic, full house. Tired.Toca (right) and Jason (left), great to see them back on our shores. Hopefully, Jason was saying they will be back in July with the rest of the band. Though he did say he'd be back in a couple months the last time he was here in 2003... Jason makes up a hit song on stage with whatever broken phrases the crowd shout to him, while Toca tries to remember

A few posts ago I mentioned how Punk was the new Pop, well now I don't think I explained it very well... When I say Punk - I mean Punk-Emo.Emo use to stand for "Emotional Hardcore", used to describe bands and music (usually by guys) who look like tough mean punks, but sing sissy emotional almost wrist-cutter music (really basically).Emo is so "in" right now it's not even funny. Here are the

Last night, I ducked out to finally catch one of Sarah McLeod's (ex-Superjesus) acoustic shows.There were two supports, a Swedish girl I didn't catch the name of (she had a very pretty voice), and James Davies (I think). I thought I'd check him out becaues his write-up claimed that seeing Jason Mraz live was one of two factors that made him decide to become a songwriter. I wish Jason hadn't

So, on Saturday I checked out the new Outre gallery in Sydney. Very tiny funky little place, carrying a lot of contemporary artists and designers prints and posters. The U.S artist-couple kozyndan were in for their new exhibition (Bunnies Chewy) and book. They were signing heaps of stuff, so I bought their "Urban Myths" book to get signed - the other colour-in book had sold out.Just as I had

I've had a problem the last few months because there has been such an impressive array of choice when it comes to published (advertising) media! Just walking through the city streets and some stores will end with me leaving with armfuls of free propaganda.

I've had the most insane dreams lately.I woke up yesterday having dreamt that I was visiting a heritage house in Parramatta, where I saw some very very realistic dummies re-enacting a disgusting multiple murder scene. Complete with scary psycho squeezing his victims guts out through their mouth after having crushed all the bones to watery pulp whist still intact and alive. Not to mention all the

Panorama setting uses three separate photos sewn together on the spot for wide angle shots. Regular black and white setting. My evening watching Josh Pyke (again) at the Spectrum was spent; not so much listening to the music, but me playing photographer with my mobile phone. After the crappy photos last time, I told myself not to forget my camera this time. Alas, I forgot it.So I took prime

Yay. I just got two free tickets to the next Josh Pyke gig, which happens to be a private invite only thing... appearently. So I don't know why they gave me some.But, I thought that'd be a good intro into the work of James Hancock. He is responsible for the artwork on Josh's 'Feeding the Wolves' CD and music video. He was also featured as a finalist in the Noise 25/25. Mostly textual/organic

According to the IMDB site it's: "a film set in a strange afterlife way station that has been reserved for people who have committed suicide". A love story, dark comedy and a road movie in one... I'm too afraid of the spoilers in the user's reviews to find out more. Appearently it did okay at it's premiere during the recent Sundance Film Festival. But all I had to know was:

Having missed their last two tours over the last two years, I finally got to check out Canadian identical twins Tegan and Sara - live.Their acoustic + electric guitar pop-rock musical fusion works really well, despite having voices which could, under traditional musical standards, be considered slightly whiney and a little nasal (forgivable as the Canadian accent coming thru). They sing cute

I've just gotten back from seeing one of my fave Aussie musicians of the moment, Josh Pyke. I won't go into an essay-like dribble about him or his music. Suffice to say: he croons, plays the guitar and harmonica while his 2 stage accomplices play violins, guitars, mini xylophones and the accordian. Yes, the accordian.Yes, he's another one of "those" musicians from a long line of similar ancestors

Collaborative art couple kozyndan (Kozy and Dan) are hitting our far eastern shores this March-April! This is pretty big news (for me at least - I was just pondering the purchase of one of their prints), as they are a pretty dynamic illustration duo based in L.A.Many of you might remember their work as the (official) crazy Jap-pop influenced panoramic openings used for Resfest 2004.

You honestly didn't think I'd ignore an opportunity to post my Backstreet Boys concert experience, did you?Having waited since the eighth grade to see them in concert, my school girl fantasies were realised on Monday January 30, 2006 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre (sec 25, row F, seat 7 to be exact). Despite an unknown dismal ditzy blonde (whom I wont name) opening the show, the evening was

I now have a working computer! It's an AMD Athlon 64-bit processor @ 2 GHz and my beautiful 1.5gb ram. And I have joined the rest of society in their copyright infringable ways by having purchased a new DVD burner. About time too. But I've also had to reformat my C drive, and as a result have none of my old emails, email addresses, applications or personal settings and have even lost most of my

To all the concerned people who have been reading my blog of late, I would just like to say: I'm ok, I'm not as depressed as the previous posts made it out to be. I'm just a little annoyed being without my new supped up computer... Hopefully I will get it today, and it will work.To all the COFA BDM krew who have been emailing party details of late, I would also like to say: I haven't been

OMG I have a so much to do, but don't want to do any of it!Summer classes start next week, I've committed to so many bits and pieces of work and the lack of security/pay (that I can imagine) is doing my head in. Also, my computer has well and truly broken (at the shop getting operated on as we speak). I got upset leaving it with complete strangers this morning. So it's even wierder, cos I want it

My machine is out of commission for a while.You know I had a weird thought last night. If Patrick Bateman were real, or if Ellis decided on a reprisal of his evil ficticious buddy, he'd be in his 50s today...Feeling a little jaded. Maybe 'blue' is the better colour. Unsure why.Perhaps I should have earlier nights, involving less depressants during the week? Maybe attempt to be more organised?My

I thought I'd share something interesting I saw whilst driving in the wrong lane in the City's York St. Would you call it Street Art or Sustainable Art? Hmmm... The brick wall behind COFA use to host some amazing local Street Art, but the local residents and Clover Moore's stooges have put a stop to it. This will probably not see the end of the week either. In some further outrageous news of

Wow! Crazy announcements to be made. Two of my friends, both named Jess, got engaged to their boyfriend's over the holidays! Wedding dates are set in the future, but the parties are now!Now that I have been picking up the pieces of my life (from pre-sickness, although I am still sick), I've come to find that the two biggest events I was looking forward to this Sydney Festival have sold out! Wahhh

Back for three days, and it's also my third day of this god awful sickness. I can't seem to shake it, as everyday something new, painful and disgusting plagues me. At first it was a sore throat, then sweaty fever (which I waited at the doc's for 4hours in), and today I'm immensly phlegmy.I managed to cough, wheeze, hock and splutter the mother of all loogies today before lunch. I could add more

I got back late last night. I got sick on the way back, my cousins, my aunt and I drove the 11 hour trip. So on account of being sick this is gonna be short. Below are some pictures from the trip.The one stencil I saw in all of Surfer's Paradise. A huge pair of boardies at Coolangatta. My 170cm-ish cousin, for scale.

Part one of the temporary-squat as a travel diary is "planning and research". Every now and then I will update this blog with places I hope to visit in 2007. Global Street Art Kwest (working title ;-)) is one big personal graffiti tour of the world in order to check out some of the best, inpsiring and different Street Art scenes the world has to offer. It's still in the very early stages of

Hey kids,I'm writing from beautiful Queensland - well sort of. See the arrow in the image? That's Tweed Heads, NSW. We're 1 road away from the QLD/NSW border.I had a very elegant, thought-provoking and informative post planned out in my head. But in all the excitment of seeing a computer with internet access, all of that beautiful prose is out the window, and the rapid, thoughtless nature of

A little annoyed by the current Hasselhoff phenomena (it's not funny when he's in on the joke - his concert tickets are a ridiculous $90), I beleive we need a new 80s hero.I vote: Gary Coleman. Anyone who grew up watching Diff'rent Strokes in the early-mid 80s should remember Arnold and his catch phrase: "wot-chu talkin' bout Willis?"Little should need to be said about this great 80s icon.

Inspired by SBS' The Movie Show, here's a run down of the best and worst film list according to: moi. No doubt, I didn't have any shortage of films to see or free tickets all year, thanks to the wonderful film festival and industry we have here in Sydney. Feel free to trample all over my choices and impose your own picks for 2005.Best Films: 1. The Fantastic Four2. Sideways3. Mysterious

Look who found a Serenity poster during Oktoberfest?I found some random photos I wanted to post from a while ago, so I thought I'd take this bored opportunity to do so.Yes the first is me hugging a Serenity poster. I don't believe I would have been the first or even the last.The photo from the Teaser post, was a random poster outside COFA I found very amusing. Very vindictive indeed.And here's

This is the new online blog for Jo. Formerly of Virgogal.As the title suggests, its only temporary until I get my own domain and new site up and running. In the mean time I'll do what I do best and blather on about random things (take the image I've posted for example), possibly some Buffy and leftist banther.Much later on, this may just become a travel diary, if ever get the finances to go on my
