Coming Over the next 7 days...
|
 REVIEW : The Future Music Festival was held at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on Sunday afternoon, with acts such as Princess Superstar, Rex The Dog (previously known as JX), TV Rock & The Midnight Juggernauts, just to name a few. I just happened to be there on Important Employment Business, and have a review of sorts coming up on that.
EMAIL : The results have been tallied for the My Favourite Pop Record thing I've been banging on about the past few months. To those fabulous pop bloggers who've agreed to be on the Commentary Panel - you should be getting an email with the full results some time this week. You - the reader - will have to wait till early April.
DETAILS : The greatest day of my life came in the form of a morning spent with Gary FUCKING Barlow. Oh yes.Labels: Gig Reviews, My Favourite Pop Record, Take That

Back. Ish.

 For those of you who've not gotten your 10 selections for Favourite Pop Record of All Time in, you have until Saturday the 3rd of March, even though today is your day of deadline... this is simply because I am feeling generous/there are at least 5 more episodes of One Tree Hill for me to watch before I've caught up with Season 4 and album chart tallying would prevent that from happening tonight. However, the tally calculations WILL BEGIN on Sunday the 4th of March, so any votes that come through after then shall be binned. You can do so by emailing them through before 11pm, Saturday the 3rd of March Melbourne Daylight Savings EST.
I venture out of University Hiatus to discuss television. But if you think there is going to be some kind of enlightening "point" by the end of this scribbling, you are very wrong. This is merely an outlet for my insanity to spew forth. In fact, reading this, you may even get a grasp on where my head is at after my first stressful and exciting few days at University.
Over the past couple of weeks I've been catching up on my viewing of One Tree Hill on DVD. As a - hem hem - break from homework and education, I've been fitting in a couple of episodes in between studying and over the weekend found myself finishing Season 3.
There are QUITE LITERALLY a mere FIVE EPISODES LEFT until I am up to date with the life of Peyton Sawyer, a young lady who I have developed quite a totally-normal "but I'm still a homosexual, promise" crush on. But I am becoming sad. After dedicating every second of my spare time away from University to my friends at Tree Hill, I've nought an idea as to what I'll do once it's over. And by over I mean, once I've caught up with the current U.S. season (IN 5 EPISODES TIME), what will I do with hours to spare, being left to watch the show on a weekly, one hour basis JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE *GRASPS FOR ASTHMA PUMP*.
THANKFULLY - there are no less than 765 Television Shows on DVD waiting to be watched/caught up on by myself, and now that I am a "struggling Student", there is (strangely) plenty more time now to balance study, a formerly full time job which is now part time, with television and friends (the real ones, not the ones from Tree Hill High).
I swear to god it's like High School all over again except, you know, with actual commitment this time. Thanks heaps for all the emails of encouragement over the past week too, it's been greatly appreciated. So yes, University life is beginning to feel quite marvellous. I'll get back to you in Term 4 when I start studying Politics though...

My Favourite Pop Record : UPDATE
|
 Back in December you might recall I was going on about a TV Show which aired on Australian Television called "My Favourite Album". On that TV show, a panel of judges sat and discussed the alarming Top 10 Albums of all time as voted by the Australian Public. The entire chart was male driven, the entire TOP 100 only had the one black artist, and - alarmingly - there were no entries from Madonna or Kylie. But Anthony Callea got a nod. Right.
So I, in conjunction with some truly fantastic blogs such as Chart Rigger, Bop Pop, The Hotstuff Files, Catchy Tunes Of Sweden, Talent In A Previous Life, #1 Hits From Another Planet, Pop Poster Girl, and Kirkland Ciccone JUST TO NAME A SELECT FEW, have agreed to be on the fabulous judging panel as we rally together to compile - and discuss - the ultimate list of Pop Records - as voted by YOU, readers of various blogs. So far we've had just under 400 votes come in, and to try and get this chart as accurate as possible, the original deadline date of January 26th has been pushed FURTHER to MARCH THE 1ST. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! No, no neither can I.
So make sure you email through your top 10 pop albums of all time to: myfavouritepoprecord@gmail.com and who knows, there may even be a prize give-away for some randomly picked voter at the end of it all.
That email address again is: myfavouritepoprecord@gmail.com, and you have till the 1st of March 2007 to get your votes in.
PS: If you're part of a blog/website, or just plain love pop music, and are keen to be apart of the judging panel, email me asap on: trangpak@gmail.com - I'd love to have you on board.
