I just arrived today on this site seeking fellow musos to rock out with in my band Old MenWith Retrievers the name coming from seeing so many old men andtheir dogs wanderign around Moonee Ponds where I used to hang out sometimes fuck knows why....I'd meet people there and stuff but it's all a blur...I live in St Kilda it's boring and depressing with everythign so expensive I have no social life!Thus I am a muso and comic. Though the comedy leaves me a bit bitter at times...Ibelieve music has savedmy life I stand by that. As so many do. I brought a guitar which I can play not greatly but enough to produce something of a song...A rough grungy punk deidcation to the creepy guys who try to pick meup on the 96 called 'I'm over it' I love it. It's the first song I produced on my own even if it is a bit roughbut it sounds cool that way.anyway we shall see what the future may bring...... cheers Rosie one of many rosies.....

This is from last year but what the hell ... its an abbreviated account of the Bingo au go-go party held during SOOB StraightoutofBrisbane

Bingo A Go-Go

Walked in the door around 9pm hahahah ... to see Erther play and say hello ... but the lineup had been bumped around and someone was warming up things with a few tracks ... and when I returned to the floor with a drink ... aniki was playing.

Aniki got the shits pretty early on. The decks weren\\\\\\\'t stable and there was a fair amount of skipping, so he was crashing records togther but it didn\\\\\\\'t matter, as it was in keeping with the theme of the night, loud and raw. He finshed rather early I thought by dropping a Motley Cru track (God I think it was \\\\\\\'Kick Start my Heart\\\\\\\') and cranked it to 11 while he packed up ... Some people in the lounge closed the door in disgust and things were underway, truly a fitting way for the night to start ...

Pear Shaped in Sydney follows in the footsteps of its sister clubs in London and at the Edinburgh Festival , a favourite of comedians and audience alike. There is no telling who will drop in to perform for the sheer pleasure of it, to plug their show, try out new material or just have a laugh.

Possibly the best comedy-drama to come out of Britain in some time (well can you name any others?), Skins follows a diverse group of Bristol 17-year-olds and their hedonistic lives. Each episode focuses on one teen at a time - the gay boy, the anorexic chick, the fuck-up etc ...

In fact, according to a recent Omnibus survey, 60 percent of office workers in the United States said they eat lunch at their desks at least once or twice a week. To accommodate this growing trend and bring humor into the work day, Healthy Choice has joined forces with MSN to introduce the "The Working Lunch" -- a unique Web site featuring a live, four-hour show consisting of improvised sketch-theme comedy segments, directed by visitors on http://www.workinglunch.msn.com.

Looks like Thanksgiving is just around the corner and a number of people are struggling to find things to be thankful for. With jobs becoming even more scarce, it is getting difficult to remain optimistic here in Michigan. During my show this morning, one of my faithful listeners called today to tell me he is getting laid off from one of the Big 3 and another friend is leaving Michigan for a job down south. Add to this the prospect of the Lions going 0-12, and it is almost enough to take the fun out of the holidays. Heck I wont even get into the arguments the Native Americans have about the holiday. I just hope to get together with friends, watch football (go Cowboys) and be thankful for what I do have.

Each week, Torontoist examines the upcoming TV listings and makes note of programs that are entertaining, informative, and of quality. Or, alternately, none of those. The result: Televisualist. Monday Dancing With The Stars wraps up its seventh season with the first part of its two-night finale, which will presumably have the same convoluted voting scheme the show always has (I swear, cricket has less complex rules than Dancing With The Stars). Your finalists are Brooke Burke, who apparently used to host various reality TV shows; Warren Sapp, who used to play pro football; and Lance Bass, who used to be in N'Sync. Bass is the favorite to win because, well, N'Sync. However, Burke's nobodyhood has been overcome by the fact that she's probably the best dancer remaining. Who will win? Somebody! (CTV, 8 p.m.) This week on Heroes: everybody loses their powers! And then viewers realize that these people are actually really, really boring when they aren't making CGI do things. Yes,
