Half-decent voice + personal sob-story = ticket to Sydney.

11:30 pm, Sunday night: Guy across the road is playing saxophone very loudly. Playing is actually a generous term. If I hadn’t heard him play before (at similar times of the day night) I would be firmly convinced he’s never played before. Or even seen a sax.

10 minutes ago: I walk over to ask him to call it quits. He’s drunk, and ‘playing’ along to jazz coming out very loud from his stereo. Glad I live across the street, not next door.

Now there’s banging on his door from his neighbours. Shouting, swearing, threats. Lots of it.

Cops a-coming.

Graphic Songs

23 02 2008

There’s a flickr group I stumbled across set up to chart out songs graphically, which is a neat idea. My favourite is a map:

There is a wide variety of other submissions. Some of my favourites include: bar graphs, timelines, decision trees, more charts, calendars, processes, venn diagrams, binary outcomes, and more charts.

Fun.

More Tripod

13 11 2007

Here’s another beautiful music clip from Tripod (with Eddie Perfect).

They’re singing Paul Kelley’s Middle of the Air.

The lyrics are a bit of a Psalm 23/1 Thessalonians 4/John 13 mashup, which is pretty remarkable given this recording is by (as far as I know) a bunch of non-Christian blokes on ABC’s The Sideshow, of all places.

I can sing a bit, but listening to this makes me wish I could, you know, sing.

Enjoy.
