Now that we've got some furniture in the apartment and all our stuff moved in from the storage unit, it was time for a bit of cleanup, because between moving in, getting set up and rocking out, the place wasn't looking that great all of a sudden.

Although I've been saying it each day since we moved in and haven't got to it, I finally got my server set up today which has been good, and nice, if for nothing else to get some tunes happening.

After the cleanup, things are looking good, and it was time to fire up the internet and watch some TV - something that we've been saying that we're going to do, and just not geetting to because of being busy with other things. Since analogue television broadcast are defunct as of a few months ago, and remote problems with the digital convertor box we have, we have a TV here, but can't watch it. Hence, it's really nice that some stations here stream full episodes online - namely NBC and CBS. So tonight we caught up on How I Met Your Mother and the Office and then also Rockwiz. More often that not I'm finding that you can't access Australian media online over here, but thankfully SBS doesn't impose such restrictions, so it was very cool to see and episode of Rockwiz again!

Strange Young Things To Open For RCPM

It appears that Strange Young Things won last Friday's competition to open for Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers at the Marquee this Friday.

A few years ago this would have been a such gig to go to (although, of course a few years ago my eyes hadn't been opened to the wonders of Strange Young Things), plus it'd be a cool first show at the Marquee. Alas we have no real interest (it's a shame that I'm finally out here but the band is in the height of their decline), although we'd both enjoy seeing Strange Young Things blow the headliner off the stage - just not for $25 a ticket. At the end of the day we know that it's just better to see Strange Young Things headlining in the future. Like at Yucca on November 7th. [smile]

Speaking of The Peacemakers, and decline thereof, I'm looking forward to seeing Larson sometime soon. He did play right before we left Warsaw, and Scotty mentioned that he was out playing again at The Vig. It's a shame that I won't be able to relive those awesome Sunday nights watching Steve at Sugar Daddies though.
