Show 49: Zombie Octopus Slayer

An off the cuff show but sadly when we don't get organised you the listener suffer with dead air and in this case metallica, but it was all a part of the months theme, and unfortunate cueing of tapes, where we discussed another band that used to be good and as time has grown they have somehow gotten worse. feel free to submit requests for next weeks artist where we play some quality older shit for nostalgia before they managed to die in the arse, if your thinking QOTSA then your on the right track, so get your ideas in dudes.

alright im filling in the story to this blog a little late this week as after our show i went out west to the land of South Australia, spent a few days on a farm trying to encourage chickens to lay eggs, and drove a tractor and ate a lot of meat, as you do on a farm i guess, but then came back to not so radelaide and found out about another fucking volcano blowing its top and fucking up all flights in and out of adelaide so here i am stranded in the boringest city you could imagine, spose it wouldnt be so bad if it was summer but its cold and if it wasn't for coopers being rife i would be going stir crazy over here... Minimum chips is 4 bucks and when they say minimum they mean it, a shitty tiny brown bag and dont even think about dimmy's... they charge over a dollar for your regular run of the mill cat'n'rat brand of dimsim i can't even get my hands on some descent south melbourne buck fifty efforts, though over here it would be $3 i reckon, but on a side issue, as if you didnt think there would be one, i reckon people should stop having a go at the sth melb dimmies, aparently theres a big uproar over the son of the guy making them on the cheap now and they aren't any good, but i guarantee you wont find a better one anywhere else, not even bell st mall heidelberg, in fact stay well away from bell st mall heidelberg, not a good place... anyway to get back on track after that, whatever that was, yes I went away for weekend and missed some seriously good gigs, thats two weeks in a row i have bummed out on some weekend gigs, HOSS are on the scene again and in their honour we played a 3MDR MurDeR radio, triple Homicide of 3 killer tracks, and the Nation Blue break up reunite welcome back fifteen year anniversay tour, check their myspace for the funniest promo vid EVER!!... but on top of that the mighty river of snakes are still breaking through onto the melbourne scene and were nice enough to send us their 2 track 7 inch, (burnt onto CD...) we must be a somewhat official professional show these days to be getting bands sending us their shit, and not to mention the shows closer the Highschool Janitors doing a hour and a half recording during our show and forwarding the track for a play at the very end, it doesn't get more live and interactive than this, so tune in next week for another installment from the Hills very own, Micawber Tavern Destroying Janitors...

Cooked up a crazy Macgyver Meal this week with some ginger, black bean, fish sauce, oytster sauce, lemon, oil, worchestichire marinated octopus, wasn't the best thing i have ever eaten but worth doing to see some freaky undead octopus action in a fry-pan, not for the un-romero hearted...

New live album by the Melvins was cool, i hope to listen to more of it this week, and special cudos goes out to all who skipped Iron Maiden to see the Melvins at soundwave this year, was one of the best sets of the day..

And it was International Slayer Day, a day for all metal heads, i hope you celebrated
