pictures from walking around today...

cool buildings at school:





newtown neighborhood of sydney:





terrace houses







flavio and sunglasses

park

a few pictures from the park in my neighborhood









and my street

opera house

finally saw the opera house today...

house

i finally moved in to my house sunday... its nice to finally be settled, and the house is pretty much ideal because its with other international students (germany, denmark, india), close to school, and close to the city.

i love this song... animal collective - my girls

a couple more from of montreal last week:

lets go outback tonight

of montreal and ruby suns at manning house... which is university of sydneys bar/venue... yes they have a bar/venue on campus



ruby suns opened (with one substitute member and after losing a drum in a cab). they put in alot of energy, but werent getting much from the crowd

of montreal:







it was a really theatrical performance... they had great outfits. and props. and enthusiastic yet awkward dancing in the crowd.

and sadly they didnt play the outback steakhouse song, well of course they didnt... although it is a perfect combination of indie pop with mainstream corporate advertising

if you havent heard it... outback steakhouse
and Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games

mickey mickey

mickey avalon made an "appearance" right outside of my flat in bondi beach on sunday afternoon... i dont think 3 songs qualifies as a "show" but it was conveniently close








signing autographs for fans... young fans... most of his fans were 12 year old girls...

sadly he didnt play his best known song "my dick", but he did play... jane fonda

also, collaborations are good... my drive through
