I Am An American Aquarian Drinker


Hi, so this blog is dead i'm afraid. My internet was down for a while and now its back i've started a new job and no longer have the time or patience to keep this running. I used to work from home 1 or 2 days a week so it was no problem uploading new stuff. But now i'm constantly out of the house and busy as hell on photoshop, FCP, After FX and other stuff, so that when I get home a computer is the last thing I wanna look at. My links were also dying at a very fast rate.

On the plus side I love the job, its what I always wanted and was working towards when standing in fields on film shoots in the middle of nowhere at all hours.
So thanks for all the comments, but I gotta get outa here. You can still get me on MySpace and the various boards I chat to people on.
If anybody wants to take over the blog, let me know.

So I started watching Flight of the Conchords TV show over last few weeks, and then went to see Eagle Vs Shark, which was a really good movie, and one of them was the lead in it, cool coincidence, but anyway, apart from the Humphrey Bogart box set I got, my 2 obsessions have been Flight of the Conchords

and this sketch
Against Me! - New Wave
2007
Ok, so I cannot recommend this enough. An awesome pop/rock/indie type album, best of all they're playing Dublin in October ! Generally I am instantly sold on any song that has handclaps and "oohs" or "ba ba ba" backing vocals. Its just my weakness, many Weezer songs, best example is prob Photograph, or one of my favourite songs ever....Fountains of Wayne-Stacys Mom, dont give me any shit about it, anyway-

So people are having problems with the url as a pass. Its only a few as theres hundreds of downloads and then one or 2 people cant get the pass to work. So if anybody has any advice as to how these people can get the url as pass to work then leave it here as a comment.
I'l revert back to dickdarlington as pass from now on so it works for everybody, the reason i'd changed it was that my links were appearing on loads of other blogs and therefore dying in a day or so. Cheers,

Sean

Check it out-

The World is Your Urinal
Jeff Tweedy-Sunken Treasure:Live in the Pacific Northwest
2006

The audio from the DVD, awesome, and DVD is well worth buying as well. Seen him in Vicar St last November and the show was great, not just acoustic versions of Wilco songs. Sunken Treasure opener in paticular is great, as is She's A Jar.

Trailer for DVD.

The Thrills-Teenager
2007
So I generally dislike the Thrills, mainly the whole "they're Irish and sing about being in California cause they were there on a J1 Visa once" or something, but anyway, here goes, they are fellow Irish people and maybe deserve a chance to get back after that awful Corey Haim song thingy.

The Rentals-The Last Little Life EP 2007
Some say Weezer has never been the same since Matt Sharp left, I wouldnt completely agree but Return of the Rentals is a pretty good album, and Seven More Minutes wasnt bad. This is a taster before the new album in 08

For old times sake, the awesome "Friends of P", so close to classic Weezer, makes you wonder did Rivers really control everything?

And for a laugh, The Rentals with Blur on a French TV programme

Hi, so I got a message from somebody asking had I given up on the blog, no. I was in Gemrany for a while. Seen Southside Fest which included Interpol(too much new stuff) Editors(brilliant)Kings of Leon(good but pity they were on the large main stage) Beastie Boys(awesome) Sonic Youth(awesome)Modest Mouse(Awesome) Bright Eyes(awesome), quite a bit of use of awesome there.

Also I was sick of the fact that before I went on the trip my links were dying within a day or so of putting them up, and I was seeing them on tons of other blogs without any credit being given to where they were taken from. I have no problem with people using a link if they then link my blog from it, but not doing it isnt cool when someone else using it just gets it killed quicker and I'm the one spent the time uploading it.
Certain links had hundreds of downloads and I was able to see far less people visited the blog since I put them up. But when I came back there was loads of leaks and I had more time on my hands, so............................for the time being i'l see how it goes.
