musical hankerings
Lately my musical infatuations have been aroused by bands that are touring Australia, for example, it was Blondie in August, then there was a brief period of Boz Scaggs and The White Stripes in September… but right now it’s all about that cocky little bastard, Prince.
I know some of youse (Jimbo Laney) like a little early Prince, so’s I thought I’d wack up two of my favourites. Controversy is on high rotation at The Kilbot Factory, but if you’ve got the bandwidth and time I recommend you check out the Raspberry Beret filmclip (43.4Mb). Raspberry Beret would have to be one of the all time greatest flimclips from the 1980′s; Prince’s blue and white cloud suit, synchronized dance moves, and that cheesy 80′s animation. Great stuff.
And in other tiger news…
People are going tiger-crazy it seems…

For those of you who missed it, click full story for the transcript of Dr. Carmen Lawrence’s speech to announce her front bench resignation. Go girl! Sometimes when you’re on a leaky, rudderless* ship, you should bail out rather than just keep bailing. Please please please let her win Pres.
*sorry, it has a rudder, but it only steers right.

what's the word
On the weekend, not last weekend but the weekend before, Fancy Dave asked me for my favourite word. It was Saturday morning, just after the Grand Final and my mind was a blank. I think I managed a few words; moot (because it is so small and neat, but surprisingly hard to fit anywhere) and euphemism (because it is good to write, and good to hear). But in the cold light of day these words are merely adequate, close to the top of my list, but surely not number 1.
My favourite word without a doubt – no beg your pardons, no how’s ya fathers – would have to be… Scruples. I like the way it sounds. I like the various images it conjures in the mind; I keep picturing scruples to be little rocks that can be bought and sold… or may be even stolen. There was a period at UWA when I inserted scruples into nearly every sentence over a three month period, “nice scruples” i would say, and “you can’t buy scruples like that anymore”. They were good days, don’t see too many scruples around nowadays.
crossing over
Not dead, but still reeling from the weekend, afraid the ol’ kilbot is a bit rusty when it comes to such periods of excess consumption. Now it’s back to quiet and reliable Melbourne where the people drink their gin in glasses, not buckets.
Thanks everyone for coming out and saying g’day, it was great to see you all, flattering even. And thanks to ma and pa kilbot for the plane ticket (happy birthday mum!).
Hopefully next time i’ll be over for a bit longer.
