I am completely in love with Miss Connie from Sneaky Sound System. Isn't she just one of the most staggering pop stars in the history of music? My love for this woman runs incredibly deep, so I'm quite excited by the news that work is sending me off to see her and the Sound System crew put on a nice, pretty live show this Saturday night at the god-awful Festival Hall in Melbourne. Even the venue cannot bring down my high! What I'm even more excited about is seeing Van She - one of my most loved Australian groups of all time - play as the Sneaky's support on the night, making this my fourth time seeing them do their thang. Viva la Van She!
The picture to your left is photographic evidence of the best dress at last weeks ARIA awards, worn by Miss Connie. It is also photographic evidence of the best performance of the night.
I'm sure most of you will take my word for it, but you should still watch it for yourself.
Magic. When I grow up, I want to be just like Miss Connie.
Speaking of live shows, this coming Thursday night I'm off to see Robyn AGAIN in Melbourne. She just cannot get enough of us sexual (guffaw!) Aussies it seems! For those keen, she is playing at Roxanne, which is behindBillboard Nightclub in the CBD. I'm very excited, as Roxanne is a slightly bigger venue than the incredibly intimate feel we had the other month for her gig at the tiny Miss Libertines. Will have a full report on that next week.
Stop whatever it is you're doing right now (unless the only thing you are doing right now is reading this post, in which case I'd advise you actually keep doing it.) There is a new remix of a Sugababes song which I think you should download. Remember the cheesy Ultrabeat remix of the underrated and completely ace Easy from last year? Well, Ultrabeat have managed to top that effort with a completely popperific version of About You Now. It's cheesy, it's loud, it's probably going to be seriously offensive to most of you - but I love it. I was driving down the highway last night at an ungodly hour, alone in my car and on the road, with the windows down and this turned up ridiculously loud. It made me very happy. Now you can maybe be as happy as I!
Just quickly, because I cannot be bothered reviewing them just yet; New albums from Young Divas, Celine Dion, DanniiMinogue, Freemasons and Seal are all EXCELLENT. Am about to listen to the new Duran Duran and Leona Lewis long players before bed and am very excited about both.
And finally, if you're in or around the Geelong area tomorrow night, tune into 94.7 The Pulse from 8pm till 10pm for my radio show Inside Splinters. On the musical menu tomorrow; Young Divas, Trash Fashion, Bloc Party, Kylie Minogue, Sneaky Sound System, Robyn, M.I.A, Daft Punk, DanniiMinogue, Justice, The Toxic Avenger, Bertine Zetlitz, Cut Copy, and many more. Hopefully I won't fuck up too much...
Anyways, I'm on a mini-break until Tuesday so, unless something incredibly dramatic happens and I desperately need to blog about it - I won't be back till then. (Apologies for the long break in between posts of late - I've been so busy with uni and family stuff - it's been a bit crazy down at the residence of Adem. Back to norm next week, I promise. Kthxbye.)

I've loved everything I've heard from Sneaky Sound System so far--I actually have no idea why I haven't bought the whole album yet. Really great performance, too--reminded me of how truly awesome "Pictures" is. Songs flowed together really well, too.
Hope school/family is going well.
Oh, and on an unrelated note, I didn't reply to your and Paul's last comments on the McFly post because I was just done and over with it, but 1.) thanks ;) , and 2.) yeah, I'd be really interested in hearing that mix you mentioned. And hopefully it could get them some more crossover success as well.

Can i put Connie on the top of my christmas tree. She looks like she would make a great ornament (ps thats a compliment - i don't just throw my christmas tree together you know!)
I am totally in love with the new Veronicas album. There are tracks on there that would simultaneously make Georgeo Moroder happy and be great background music for a Jane Fonda Work Out video. I left the Young Divas CD at a friend's place so I won't be listening to that for a few days.
Have you heard the Daft Punk song that mashes "Harder..." with "Around the World"? It's fucking amazing.
