So i heard today that one of my favourtie bands are coming to New Zealand early next year (on the 12th of March to be exact). This is going to be fucking rad, my mate Rory saw them a few years ago in London and he said they were amazing and he even got to have a chat with the singer who was really impressed that Rory was from New Zealand.
This music isnt for everyone so i want you to know Im not forcing you to listen to this video
Here comes the cliched 'oh I'm such a terrible blogger i haven't posted anything in ages' , well fuck off I'm not doing it. I have still failed to tell anyone about this blog and won't until a get a few more posts behind me and some more consistency .
Due to my amazing connections ( a Friends mum) I will be appearing as Snow White in the Elerslie Santa Parade.
Recently i have been getting in touch with my inner child , with a whole lot of Disney. This includes Disney barbies, Disney Princesses on Ice and even a Disney Princess ball and paddle. Yes its sad i know =(
So here are some quotes i liked followed by a tiny bit about Walt Disney
You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow-Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you? - Alice in Wonderland
I love the smell of napalm in the morning - Mulan
Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction. -Alice in Wonderland (the doorknob)
Gaston, Lefou: No one plots like Gaston. Gaston: Takes cheap shots like Gaston. Lefou: Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston! - Beauty and the Beast
Just learn to like cats- Cinderella
I won't! I love him, Father. Look around you. This is where the path of hatred has brought us. This is the path I choose, Father. What will yours be? -Pocahontas
The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else's lake - The little Mermaid (sebastian)
It's all part and parcel, the whole "genie gig" PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS! Itty-bitty living space! - Aladin (Genie)

Now, I'm the king of the swingers, whoa / The jungle V.I.P / I've reached the top and had to stop / And that's what's botherin' me / I wanna be a man, Man Cub / And stroll right into town / And be just like the other men / I'm tired of monkeyin' around. - The Jungle Book (king Louie)
I could have done a few more.
Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon and philanthropist.Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.
A long-standing urban legend maintains that Disney was cryogenically frozen, and his frozen corpse was stored underneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.[83] The first known instance of cryogenic freezing of a corpse occurred a month later, in January 1967
Last night my flatmate and I watched the movie 'Frida' about Frida Kahlo. Wow this was quite an intense film , which is fair enough because she had an amazing and depressing life. Its weird to think that someone can go through so much pain and just peddle out these amazing pieces of art. This reminds me of a quote me sociology lecturer said once ... "Italy for thirty years under the Borgias had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed, but produced Michelangelo, DaVinci, and the Renaissance. And Switzerland had brotherly love and five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did they produce? The cuckoo clock." Orson Welles from the 1949 picture "The Third Man"
The BDO use to be something that I just couldn't wait to be old enough to go to . Ive only managed to attend 3 and they were fun but majority of the time I was just pushing through crowds and purposefully nudging large sun burnt girls (sorry).
This year was a huge let down when i saw the first announcement, the line up was pretty much exactly the same as 2008 Peaches Dizze rascal Kasbian Kora PNC Mars Volta Forgive me if I'm wrong but i also believe Lilly Allen performed
Now don't get me wrong Peaches and Dizze Rascal were amazing but I always thought BDO were these legendary type days and you would always hear stories from your friends who's uncle went and saw Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros or someones older sister saw Sonic Youth
This year however there is a rumour going around that The Pogues are playing. OH DEAR FUCKING LORD I HOPE THEY ARE COMING! Ive been listening to The Pogues since I was about 10 , i eventually stole;e all their Cd's from my mother who loves Irish music (this has rubbed off on me)
If they did come i wonder what the state of the singer Shane Mcgowen would be , I heard that the band kicked him out but it just wouldn't be the pogues without a mutilated drunk Shane Mc Gowen
Anyway Ill leave you some lovely photos to look at
