Fuck Yeah Lego Harry Potter

I will be getting this game in a very short time! I cannot contain my excitement! I want to put up a billion screenshots because they are so amazing and beautiful, but I decided I'll just put a few up, and instead start a tumblr about it. Find my Lego Harry Potter tumblr here soon at

Classic Who

Right now, I'm in such a big Doctor Who mood. Not so much the recent episodes, but all the old adventures (including the black and white ones!!!). Last night I watched 'Day Of The Daleks' starring John Pertwee as the Third Doctor, and tonight I have been watching 'Tomb Of The Cybermen' starring Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor. All this Doctor Who watching has made me want to start my own tumblr again, about classic Doctor Who, and maybe some new stuff. We will see how it goes. For now, here are some pictures and paraphernalia (i really like that word) from 'Tomb Of The Cybermen'. One day, I hope to have the biggest collection of Doctor Who DVDs and things ever.

Music For The Recently Deceased







Wow, I love Ed Butcher so much right now. It's a Friday afternoon, and sadly I have a headache, but Ed's voice is the only thing I can stand. His work with I Killed The Prom Queen is brutal and beautiful. Also his album with his band Eternal Lord is crazy. I recently injured my leg dancing to one of their songs, ha. I would say he's my main source of happiness and inspiration at the moment.

Soldiers of Immortality


New Australian Deathcore/Death Metal heroes Thy Art Is Murder have just released their debut album. Check them out. Their first EP was killer. I would say it was the album of last summer, but most people would disagree. But what do they know.

Ian Curtis



Lead singer of Joy Division. Dead at age 23. Severely depressed. The story of Ian Curtis makes me sad. I really like him. It's possibly because I've always sort of been surrounded by sadness. His depression reflected in his music. Before he had even reached the prime of his life he penned one of the greatest songs of all time. Love will tear us apart.



With Roots Above And Branches Below


I like the idea of roots being above, and branches being below. Like a total reversal of everything you know.

Best Albums of 2010


Me, I love music. It's my thing. I live off music. Every moment of my life is just music. It's kinda great. Sometimes I find it tiring, but not often. This year in particular, has been great for me, musically. I've gone through so many genres, and just cycled through so much awesome, and at times, not so awesome music. So, I've decided to tip a gentle nod towards Pitchfork Media and Triple J (only the greatest radio station evarr) and compile a list of my top albums of 2010. I'm not going to actually do it till the year is over, but I thought I might name a few now that I've really like. Two weeks ago I got the new Parkway Drive and Amity Affliction albums. I was really excited because they are both great Australian heavy bands. I was more excited for Parkway to be honest, but after listening, I thought otherwise. Deep Blue is definitely good, brutal and heavy, but I just can't get over the awesome melodic sounds of Youngbloods. For the first time, The Amity Affliction sound like a band to me. There's not a weak moment on the album, and there's a great breakdown in 'Fire or Knife' that I just crank as loud as I can every time I hear it. I reckon it's in my top 3 albums of this year, without doubt. That's pretty good, considering I've heard so much music this year. So, without further ado, I shall name some of the awesome albums I've heard so far this year. (In no particular order of course).

Plastic Beach-Gorillaz
Brothers-The Black Keys
Youngbloods-The Amity Affliction
Deep Blue-Parkway Drive
Sir Lucius Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty-Big Boi (of OutKast)
Crystal Castles II-Crystal Castles
The Hearts of Lonely People-Isles & Glaciers
