Northcote (So Hungover) - The Bedroom Philosopher



From the Album 'Songs from the 86 Tram'

I'm not a fan of The Bedroom Philosopher, but I find this funny as I could imagine someone talking like this on the tram around the Fitzroy area.

King Khan at The Corner

Wednesday 2nd of June, $35, $4 pots of Draught.

Woollen Kits
As you can see in the above picture the Corner now has a security fence.

Royal Headache

Last time King Khan came to Australia it was King Khan & the Shrines, which I would assume was bigger than the two piece that was playing tonight. Did enjoy the covers at the start then I got a little bored towards the end. Great to see Melbournians are still packing out wid week gigs.

Detour : Burgers Burritos Nachos

I think it was around $10 for a spicy beef burrito, like a fancy Kebab or Souvlaki, with repeats at the end that reminded me of a McDonalds Burger. Yum Yum. Possibly good for a pre Corner gig meal, as it's up the road.

Nice touch with arcade game, like a fish and chip takeaway shop from the days of old (well 1980's), too bad it wasn't Street Fight 2.

Francis and the Lights



I am really digging Francis and the Lights. Reminds me of Genesis, and even solo careers of Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins.
