    “The hardest working man in show business!”

    retrogasm:

    James Brown

    I partied like it was 1979. 

    I sat next to this dude on my Honolulu-Sydney flight and I would have woken him up at least 10 times to get to the toilet. We chewed the fat a little and he’s really cool so I’ll be checking out his gig at The Basement tonight. Turns out he is kind of a really big deal on the root/jazz/blues scene…

    Hearing and listening.

    Sound and sense.

    Noise and nonsense.

    COUNTDOWN!

    Me gusta tocar la guitarra
    Me gusta cantar el sol
    Mariachi me acompana
    Quando canto mi cancion

    Me gusta tomar mis copas
    Aguardiente es lo mejor
    Tambien el tequilla blanco
    Con su sal le da sabor

    Ay, ay, ay, ay
    Ay, ay mi amor
    Ay mi morena,
    De mi corazon

    absent present

    Well, guess who got home from the airport and found a present wrapped in shiny black paper and gold ribbon on the kitchen counter?

    Yours truly is now superfluously kitted out with a brand-spanking new, iPad 2 (that makes a rather pleasing rhyme too), the first delivery in North Sydney according to the courier. I downloaded Garageband for a paltry US$5.99 (in comparison to the utterly useless James Halliday Wine Companion for AUS$9.99) and now all my iPhone apps are also loaded and come up in this peculiarly iPhone-sized format in the middle of the screen.

    Yours truly wishes to thank the significant other for such an absurdly generous gift. (“Are you breaking up with me?!” may have been one of my repsonses.) Getting presents in my absence is something I could get used to.

    I woke up this morning and this is what I looked like. Now I have Lovecats as an interminable ritournelle going round and round in my head.

    So he was no Fats Waller but Gwilym Simcock is pretty all right on the piano. We saw him play at the Sound Lounge, organised by SIMA. The very dexterous and earnest fellow shared his birthday cake with the audience (a black forest cake covered in cream, for those interested). Happy 30th birthday Gwilym! At this tender age, a veritable jazz-impro-digy.
