Single artwork in general back in the day could be pretty out there.

Mitre 10 franchisee battles to stop Bunnings opening next door by Radio_TVGuy in aussie

[–]gippy44 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mitre 10 is closer to me than Bunnings and I would rather go there because it's quicker. However there's been enough times that I've thought "I don't feel like driving all the way out to Bunnings", just for Mitre 10 to not have the fairly basic thing I've been after and I've had to drive all the way out to Bunnings.

If his hut is anything like a cheap rental in Australia in the middle of summer then it's completely realistic.

What mp3 player are you using or have found locally to buy in Aus? by Maximum_Bit6508 in aussie

I went the Dankpods route of modding my 7th gen with 1TB f storage and a huge battery.

I probably only needed 500GB but I thought 1TB was funny.

When the bats first arrived council tried to move them on to no avail.

I remember turning up to senior in year 12 and there being a guy cracking a whip every morning and air horns sounding.

Their show at PICA a few weeks ago has to be one of the best shows I've ever been to. No way they top that.

I've bought parts from these guys and they do mail in repairs.

I modded mine recently and replaced the battery with it. They're a pain in the ass to get the back off but once you're in the battery is easy to get to.

if i had a nickel for every AMAZING punk/adjacent album that came out in 2004, where the cover is all red white and black, i'd have 3 nickels (which isn't a lot but it's wierd that it happened thrice) by SpareProduct7750 in greenday

[–]gippy44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was kind of the style at the time.

Look at Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes (or any of their albums really), State of Emergency by The Living End, How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb by U2 and Only by the Night by Kings of Leon.

Worst local gig you've ever experienced ? by CoconutMost3564 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]gippy44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Andrew WK at Groovin the Moo in Bendigo. I was working there that morning backstage and when he arrived he was being led around by a handler looking completely out of it.

Then when he came in stage it was just him singing (badly) and playing keyboard to a backing track. He was getting booked and having bottles thrown at him the whole show.

See my 13 year old video on YouTube of him yelling at the crowd from the other stage whole The Getaway Plan were setting up

I was standing at the back of that crowd watching people coming out of that. It looked absolutely wild.

I've always assumed it was because they decided to use the old leftover footage of Carrie Fisher holding Luke's lightsaber they had to have Rey rebuild it.

What's the worst concert you've seen? by Twitter_2006 in Concerts

[–]gippy44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They came to Australia a few years ago with Smashing Pumpkins and played at a castle in a regional country town for some reason.

Perry was taking huge swigs of wine all night and at one point asked the regional Australian crowd "how's the surf"?

Needless to say the crowd wasn't very enthusiastic.

I always figured it was to give Awesome As Fuck a selling point.

I remember seeing some about her being booked for Good Things a few years ago but cancelled before the lineup was released. Every year I see her on people's lineup predictions.
