Greetings and salutations to all you friendly people out there! How are you going on your New Years resolutions? Ours are being whipped into shape and week two sees us still being true to well at least some of them! It’s been a full on year for us already: we toured Tassie, have been busking in the sweltering sun at The Queen Victoria Markets, putting the finishing touches on Fire In The Valley and gearing up for our next tours! Check the gig guides below as some venues have jumped on board in last few days. Apart from this, we are looking forward to playing The Corner again on Friday, Feb 26.

Tassie Tour Blog:
Tassie was especially awesome this time! Lots of great shows, and great new friends. Our nannies were especially lovely! The hospitable Jacqueline even got up at 6:00am to make us a scrummy eggs on toast breaky before we trundled off to play a red-eyed gig at Salamanca. Special thanks to the lovely lady at Salamanca who came back to buy a second CD for her friend instead of just burning a copy. We really appreciated that! We know times are tight but it really is a lovely gesture to invest in our music by buying instead of burning our CDs since we really do struggle to keep on doing what we do and our CD sales are a major part of our continuation so thanks so much for your generosity and integrity to our music. See you in March you wild Tasmaniacs

Upcoming tours: Jan 14 – Feb 1 VIC, NSW, ACT, QLD; Feb 2-15 WA
We have a pretty busy touring schedule (which as you know is pretty much always the case) coming that sees us playing all over Oz far and wide. We are looking for some lovely nannies to take us in under their wings and away from the dreadful clutches of Formula 1. Lettuce know if you need some people to crash on your floor, we’re there in a flash.
Melbourne – February
Feb 26, 2010, The Corner Hotel, Swan Street, Richmond
Our show at The Corner will probably be our last Melbourne show before we head back to Europe until December so be sure to book your tickets early if you want to see us play. The fun police have cracked down on our busking (apparently too many people were smiling and maybe just maybe we were playing a little bit too loud) so no more watching The Wishing Well with a fistful of Lord of Fries at Flinders Street anymore BUT please do come and see us play at The Corner we can’t promise you Lord of the Fries but we can promises you an awesome show. You get to see us rock out in great splendour minus Connex announcements and tram whistles! Supports will be announced soon.
Tickets available from Corner Box Office 11am-8pm Mon-Sat, 9427 9198 or www.cornerhotel.com

Thanks for reading ? and to all the people who throw change in our
case, buy our CDs, come to our shows and take time out of their busy
lives to let us know how much our music resonates with them. It’s the
highest reward for us to connect with you through our music. We often
share moments and meet people through playing our music that we
otherwise wouldn’t. To see someone jamming along with us who speaks
English as a second language or comes from a place we have never been
to or even heard of or who lives a life that is so different from
anything we have ever experienced and to be able to connect through
music is a beautiful and rare experience we never tire of!
See you soon

Should I buy steel golf clubs or graphite ?
I had a desire to start my commerce, but I didn’t have enough amount of money to do that. Thank God my close colleague proposed to take the loan. Hence I took the small business loan and realized my old dream.
I completely agree. That is exactly how I view it. Excellent!
All extremely true, but I don’t take that view myself. I will go along with the more traditional view. But I without doubt support your right to say what you want. Fascinating anyway.
Great! But I my own views personally. But I definitely support your right to say what you like.

I am a student and currently studying Forensic Science, but the information on your site helped me in one of my recent projects I was working on. I have provided the link to your site in my report and actually posted a link back on my education blog. Hopefully that will get some additional respect to you, as you deserve it. Thank you.
You certainly have some agreeable opinions and views. Your blog provides a fresh look at the subject.

i like the chrome 60 mins version.
Good blog! I genuinely love how it’s effortless on my eyes and the facts is well written. I am wondering how I may be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which really should do the trick! Have a nice day!
Recently, I didn’t give so much thought to writing comments on blog entries and have left comments even less. Checking out your informative page, will probably encourage me to do this more regularly.
This is an extraordinary blog….from where do you get your content? I`m thinking to start one of my own.
I’m starting to find my way in Photography. Since institution that offers photography study is very limited here (in Turkey), I bought books to study it myself. I would like to ask, is it helpful to invest in an online photography study?
I’ve noticed your website a while ago, just never really got a chance to post anything back. I found it to be very useful and would like to see if you are able to get in touch with me and maybe we can have a discussion on a few of these topics. Would appreciate a response back.

Compassion, empathy and recognition of others’ humanity is on the decline in this country. Along with these declines will be the decline of our democracy. I believe that medialoid (mainstream media that has become tainted with tabloid-style reporting) is partially to blame. Medialoid, in order to line its pockets, has appealed to the basest impulses of human beings: love of gossip, objectification of women, caricaturization of individuals (Michael Jackson is a good example of this one). Friends, we must discourage the purchase of tabloid rags and also not visit sites like TMZ, which are nothing more than professional liars. These corporations understand nothing but the condition of their bottomlines. Don’t buy it or click on it and eventually it will become unprofitabl

How can I get a “quick” divorce in Tennessee.? I’ve been married for 8 years and seperated for 4 years. We have both been with other people for several years and both of us have a child with our new partners as well as a child together. We are ready to get divorced so we can both get remarried. We agree on everything so it will be a completely uncontested divorce. Is there a way to have a divorce finalized within just a few weeks, since it has been so long that we have been living completely seperate lives?
You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
Does anyone here know where a good place is to get some good safety gear for using a chainsaw? I just got a new saw and am cutting wood for my new stove. I really could use a good pair of gloves and glasses. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!
