Sorry, that's what you get when you're married to a Landscape Architect! You absorb all storts of stuff normal people wouldn't give two sh¡ts about.

A swale is like a drain that's designed to naturally disperse rainwater run-off. Or something to that effect.

oh, yeah, I get it now :p :rolleyes:

and all this time you thought they were specially built components of the trail that you were supposed to powerslide over

Kind of.....it's still reminiscent of a decrepit old gymnasium, but the sound system is now awesome. The bass during "Golddigger" was incredible. Was about 60 degrees in the licenced floor section...I was sweatier than Robbie during the Athens road race.


I hadn't been there since Ice Cube in about 1994!!! It's certainly better than it was back then...

Are you trying to say that the "House of Stoush" is not in pristine condition? :eek:

Ed? WTF is with all the rapp artists? Did you miss out on the 80's pub rock scene or something?

So...who's gunna head in for a look at the Comm Games RR on Sunday?

Punt Rd hill looks like a good spot for some action, or maybe Anderson St. there are a couple of technical turns down near the Yarra too that might sort out who can handle a bike & who cant. ;)

he he!! Yep....I get that a lot!!

Dunno really....to look at me, I'm just like any other white-bread, ***** ****** out there. Just started listening to Peblic enemy, LL Cool J, EPMD, NWA etc etc as a young bloke and really liked it.


Snoop Doog at Rod Laver in 2 weeks......can't wait....fo shizzle my nizzle!!!

We need an TAT IV offical rally point and time.....

I haven't been there since Billy Idol in about 1987 (free ticket, I promise :)), and it looked like an oversized barn back then. It think there might've even been sawdust on the floor and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling

LOL. I saw George Thoroghgood and the Destroyers at FH.

I'm Bad to the Bone :D

I'll be there, but I'll have family in tow.
How long do ya reckon a 2 & 4 year old will be able to handle it for?
:rolleyes:

Odin, take a picnic and a bat and ball for the kids if they are into that, and park yourself in the gardens. Atleast the wife won't resent you unless you take off to punt road for 10 laps :D

+1.

I saw Ice cube, Ice-T, House of Pain etc at Glasgow Barrowlands...
Claim to fame is a high 5 from Chuck-D at the PE concert. Havnt washed it yet ;)

when you get the muscles, then comes the dark solarium tan, then comes the bling, then comes rap :)

2 good vids of the Ourimbah track now showing !

Yeah, but rap ain't what it used to be. Heck, even Public Enemy sucks the big one now. I despair for African-American music these days. They're even more mysogynistic and materialist than the fat white rich guys they despise. They're a joke.

And don't get me started on the whole *bleeping* out of the word N¡gger, either

"Now I ain't saying she a Gold-digger, but she ain't messing with no broke N¡ggers."

Anyone offended? A black man uses an ancient derogatory term. Boo-hoo. Want to disempower a word? Don't get offeneded at it!!! Use it regularly ya honkey crackers!

:)

*waits patiently for the Thought-Poli....I mean Moderators to slap my wrist*

never been to Festival Hall.

Been to Corner hotel about 50 times to see Underground Lovers, Gaslight Radio, Glide, MAchine Translations and a host of international acts. The Punters Club used to be the bees knees, til they could not aford the new lease. :(

Magnficent!!! I met them all at the Palais in 1998....Chuck D, Terminator X, Griff (Gawd knows where Flav was :D).....got them all to sign one of those $45 tour t-shirts.


Was a life moment for me....

Seen Nick Cave at Festering Hall twice. The venue sort of suits the mood of the music! :)

Don't be too ashamed of Billy Idol, 531. After all, it was 1987 so he would have been at the height of his snarl. Actually heard a wicked cover of Rebel Yell on PBS the other night. Some punk band covered it & it worked well.
