That would be so much fun to be there. I've never done karaoke and even though I'm not the best singer out there (pretty bloody terrible), it'll still be a great night. There are things to do in Adelaide, but finding them is half the trouble - Friday and Saturday nights are probably the best, though I've seen pubs and places with banners of live music and entertainment on weekdays too. When I was in Melbourne for U2, I was looking through some book and it had loads of bands and stuff on - wish I'd stayed longer than three days.

The Fringe was fantastic too, that had some awesome stuff - went to two shows, and next week I think it is is Damien Leith, so I'm doing that and then Meat Loaf in October which should be all great fun. But it's all mostly the bigger stuff in March; not to say there isn't stuff all year round though.

I've listened to some vinyl today, Sgt. Peppers and side 1 of Abbey Road. Beatles are sublime!

I thought when you wrote 'side' you said Dark Side Of The Moon. I need to focus....yeah Abbey Road is good, probably the only one I know and I did like some of it. I have Help and another one I've never listened to properly and probably not so much any time soon. What did you like about it?

Did you listen to the Bruce Springsteen stuff you picked up a while back? I've listened to The Rising and quite like it.

First of all, just caught wind of the conversation above me, and "The Rising" is an awesome album. Maybe his last good one.

Anyway I came on here to tell those who were interested before that today is the day of my big show!. My band hits the stage at 8:40PM...hope it all goes well! No U2 tonight, but I'm thinking there might be some in out set Saturday night. Here's hoping, anyway. There will surely be video around by the end of the week, for those who were interested.

You mean The Rising and Darkness? If so, yes, both excellent albums!

Sorry for dropping out, life is hard where I am, was forced to pick raspberries and eat them with ice cream

That's awesome Matt! It's the festival this time, right?

Nope, never heard Darkness. That's my next one. That is a hard life, I have to say. Hard, indeed.

Good luck with the show tonight Matt. As I said, I reckon you'll do well (at least I think I did), so good luck with that. Can't wait to see video.

Darkness has one song I don't like, the rest is just thrilling. Racing in the Streets is beyond words!

I really want video of Matt and his band too

I'm definitely gonna grab it along with some other stuff. After a few good albums actually, not sure what to get. Maybe, dunno.

That video should be great. How you been?

Have you heard Paolo Nutini?

I'm playing loads of golf, visiting my uncle and aunt. My days consist of playing golf, cooking, and being looked at like I was some exotic plant.

I have heard of them / him, but not never heard it. Is it good?

Lol at exotic plant. That just makes me laugh. I tried golf a few times, never really got into it but do appreciate it. I'm more a bowling person.

My uncle and aunt do look at me like I was an exotic plant when I eat. I eat quite a bit. Use a lot of energy.

Paolo Nutini is excellent me thinks, and even better live! Really unique artist.

Do you put on much weight after eating? Genuine question, as I'm interested....I eat a lot yet never put on much.

I'll have to check out Paolo now. But I'm getting, and liking, classical music now, orchestration, violins, Overtures, all that stuff. I have a few orchestra backing tracks somewhere around here, might upload them because they all sound so fantastic.
