First Gig of the New Year


Actually, it's the second gig 'cos we went to see the Scissor Sisters last Thursday (who were 'fabulous' btw) but they don't count 'cos it was a) at the airport and b) see a.

Missed the opening act due to an over enthusiastic cab driver who was convinced that the Central Harbour tunnel was the quickest way to get to HITEC. (Fact: It wasn't quickest when there was a bloody airport just around the corner and it still bloody well isn't now, knobhead.)

Needless to say, the delay also meant being unable to stock up on beers from the G/F 7-11 as the fridges had been stripped of anything cold by then. This means having to deal with the outrageous bar. $50 for a can of Carlsberg. People's Party, has Clockenflap taught you nothing?

Any road, beer finally in hand on come The Jezabels who calmed things down with a healthy set of rocking tunes followed by the dulcit groovy vibes from The Naked and Famous. Top quality entertainment on a Tuesday night and no mistake.

Sadly, what with it being a school night and me actually living on an island that I had to access by yet another island, Metronomy was bailled upon (but having seen them in 2011 it wasn't a massive hardship.)

Keep up the good work Justin. We, the People in Hong Kong need you to continue to fill our musical void. Just sort the beer out, eh?

Never been the slightest bit interested. In fact it’s safe to say that I have avoided the whole business with a barge pole so big that you could punt the Queen Mary across the Atlantic with it. My earliest impressions of Parliament were filled with images of buffoons waving papers in the air, shouting 'rhubarb, rhubarb' and quite frankly it never seemed to be a particularly dignified way of conducting oneself. Anyway, at the time I was too busy behaving like a twat in city champagne bars to notice. From what I could gather, the number one objective of a politician seemed to be to get re-elected. That couldn’t be right, could it? Imagine if th...
