De’Pannone’s weblog

I pulled out an old suitcase that I packed almost 10 years ago (before I went to live in the UK for 2 years). At the time I was living in my grandmothers old house (who had moved out) and we needed to pack up her old house when we left.

From a young age I recall a cuckoo clock she had on the wall and although it was there when I moved in I wasn’t sure if we had thrpown it out - funnily enough I actually thought about the clock a little while ago and concluded its was gone.

Guess what was in the long packed suitcase - the cuckoo clock.

Its awesome, still works and keeps time.

Its great when you find thing you thought had been lost for ever

I haven’t been to Bali for about 12 years but its changed.

Its a bit like a low rent Singapore (at least the shopping centres are).

The traffic is mad as always.

There are no mingy dogs.

There are no sidewalk watch sellers following you up the road.

No one has asked me for jiggy jig or drugs.

Its hard work with kids.

Bali has grown up. Food is about the same price as Perth (at the nice restaurants).

I’ve been a bit busy lately with exams at uni over the last few weeks taking up too much of my time.

They are all over now for me so this weekend was spent in the unit in Rockingham (just south of Perth). The picture below is from the balcony.

It 7am and the day is looking great.

Well well well, just got an email from an old favourite Aussie band TISM.

Quote….
“Hello. It’s been a while. Consider yourselves informed that TISM’s
entire back catalogue is, as of now, available via iTunes for your
digital purchasing pleasure.

That’s EVERY album.
EVERY single.
EVERY B-SIDE.
EVERY Compilation track, bonus edition and remix.
EVERY-F*CKING-THING.

PLUS, more than 100 minutes in previously unheard iTunes exclusive bonus
tracks: private rehearsals, live takes, alternate versions and rejected
songs from throughout TISM’s 23 year history. For the first time
anywhere, hear the complete “NO PENIS-NO GOD” sessions - the gospel
album recorded by TISM in a desparate final gasp for salvation,
following gargantuan sins like the 1996 UK Machiavelli tour.

All downloads include digital reproductions of TISM’s ridiculous cover
art. Choose whole albums or purchase track-by-track for $1.69. Ain’t no
record companies involved, so your money goes straight to the band - for
once.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. iTunes is a free download. Check the google machine. install it.
2. type in ’tism’
3. buy the lot

PLEASE NOTE:
at this time, the TISM catalogue is only avaialable via the AUSTRALIAN
iTunes store. We have already received sad words from those in Europe
and America needing an online TISM fix. If this situation changes, you
people will be the first to know.

If you don’t want to be on this TISM mailing list, reply with ‘remove’
in the subject.

we love you.
