Grammar sucks. Live music doesn't.

On Friday night I headed to Arcade Empire to see Shortstraw, Fulka and Wrestlerish. I had work to do. Tons of it, actually, but "what the heck," I thought. I went anyway. Live music versus an exercise on the active and passive voice? It's pretty obvious who won, no? I'm not going to write you a novel about how awesome each band was. I'm tired, so just take my word for it. They were all ridiculously cool. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend too!

 

"Theme from Rocky, the theme from Speed, all end with me wishing I was Keanu Reeves"

 I'm starting a new feature on my little blog. I' ll be posting a rad tune for you guys everyday.  Easy as that.

The first song is by Shortstraw. It pays homage to the one and only Keanu Reeves. The nonsensical lyrics are hilarious. I like it when bands don't take themselves too seriously- it's refreshing. Thanks for the laugh, Shortstraw.   

Good news for all you P-Towners. Shortstraw are gigging at Arcade Empire on 9 March along with Fulka and Wrestlerish.

Holiday in pictures

I had a week off varsity, which was rather short but sweet. And busy. I went to the Wrestlerish album launch and the SA Fashion Week Pop Up Shop, celebrated my dad's birthday with my big fat Greek family, interned at the Pretoria News, saw One Day with Bridget, went to Amy's farm (sadly, no pictures) and saw the one and only Coldplay. No studying was done, which will make this week quite an interesting one. Let's do it!

The Tripod reunite

Say hello to Amy and Hennis. I love these cool cats so much. I don't see them nearly as much as I would like to, we're all just too busy attempting the whole grown up thing. Our trio reunited on Friday night when we went to the Wrestlerish album launch at Arcade Empire. The lovely Laurie Levine also played. Perfect way to start the holidays, I rate. 

Question: Does a week off count as a holiday?

Answer: No.

A rather odd elderly gentleman gave us a full bottle of red wine. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, right? Problem is, I hate the stuff. It's what I picture poison tastes like. Guess who got stuck holding the bottle? Moi. Guess who looked like an alcoholic hobo? Moi.
