I am listening to your description of Blonde now. Interesting that you say it is worth watching. I may still have to try it out. I had read some quite negative reviews and wasn't sure.

The show's title reminds me that I listened to Ilitch's "Lena's life & other stories" for the first time this week and liked it a lot
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:51am
Brian D:

@Don @3:43, I wouln't say it focused too much on victimization, but it made up storylines in which she was a victim, when there were plenty of "real" examples of that. There was a scene with JFK that I also thought was gratuitous.

Brian in UK:

Scott, hello. Would not dare to. The Aussies always improve during a tournament, so would not bet against them in the next few weeks.

The Aussie MotoGP should be on in a couple of hours here. Was not getting up at silly o'clock to watch it live. So no spoilers please mate.

@Brian in UK: The title of the show mentions "blondes", plural. Maybe one of the others is your current PM (who may not be current for long, it seems)

Scott the meet up has been moved to the Friday if that's cool
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:15am
Scott67:

At the risk of sounding Racist. Some of the most Racist Australians are Migrants who've made good here. As if they're afraid of the next Desperately appreciative refugees will outwork them & steal their status.
  4:16am
Chris Crisco:

Immigration could have been settled in 2013 with border security in exchange for a path to citizenship. It passed the Senate and had the votes to pass in the House Of Representatives. The racist caucus prevented a vote on it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:16am
Brian in UK:

You know, ex-smokers can be the most vociferous against smoking. Well second generation immigrants might just be the same. The previous home secretary, Priti Patel started this Rwanda fiasco.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:18am
Scott67:

Friday is better mate! Saturday is usually Band Night, if there's a booking. We may havta drink deep to keep Mick open late on Friday night. What's the date again? I will book the joint if we need to, & I will invite some local colour to drink with us.
🍻😎🤙💨🍺
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:20am
Paulo AD:

I wouldn't day that was racist Scotty. Thees some heavy rascim regarding migrants at home which is odd cone the population ti's 80% migrants

Paulo AD:

I fucking HATE priti patel
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:21am
Scott67:

I may mention now, I had a drink Saturday in TRASH CULT, with a good mate of Warren Ellis & Nick Cave. Gave her a massive hug cos a huge Gum tree fell on her home, destroying it & knocking her daughter unconscious.

Brian D:

Because of the storms Scott? Awful.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:23am
Brian in UK:

Paulo. Do not worry she hates everyone. She did not back either of the leadership candidates. Keeping her powder dry because she knows that Truss was doomed before she started. Then might run in the future. Be afraid.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:27am
Scott67:

2nd & 3rd... Generation Migrants I may add. They are far enough removed from their forebears hardship. & selfish in their inherited privilege.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:27am
fred:

@Scott and Paulo: If heavy drinking is required to keep Thrash Cult open, I'm sure you'll rise to the challenge. Just be careful on the way back, and don't plan much for the next day
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:27am
Brian D:

Johnson... Truss... Patel... seriously, is it a race to the bottom? (Not that I should talk in the US.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:28am
Paulo AD:

Brian UK, that's a terrifing thought. Though rumors are that's the torys want Labour to come in now to clean up the mess and get themselves covered in shit

Fred, I think Paulo is booking a Motel Room a 5 minute stagger up the road. & Mick will drop me home on his way home.

Brian D. Never voted Conservative but the previous generation look benign compared to this lot. They have nothing more than a need for power with no policy direction. If you listen carefully you can hear the bottom of the barrel being scraped.

Australia has had exactly the same style of Conservative Government. Now thankfully we have Voted into power Labor. But the Liberal (Conservative) Party is now throwing their shit at them, as Labor tries to clean it up.

@Brian: You wrote earlier that the Ilitch record I mentioned came up on your notifications. That's weird, do you follow him? He's a friend, so he'd probably like to know about how it happened (he's puzzled about random spikes in orders, meaning 10 in a week)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:12am
Brian D:

Bandcamp sends out notifications to regular purchases, I guess based on our "tastes?" I don't follow Ilitch, but I guess I must follow similar artists?

All Strung Up
1)
Negative,
a dim view of the world,
Critical,
yet one more fault unfurled
Disgruntled,
things downhill inch by inch
Loaded,
nerves at breaking pitch

Edgy,
poised upon the brink
Despondent,
who's brave heart would not sink?
Entangled,
tied up in a knot
Despairing,
confronted with shall-nots
