BIG DAY OUT THIS WEEKEND AND I AM GONNA LOSE MY FEATHERS TO THIS MAMA!!!

What I'm up to ...

Yes it's the weekend!  I have visitors from London and it's looking to be jam packed! This is what I'll be up to Friday and Saturday in case you were wondering and wanted to come say hi and/or buy me a pint or even just come and tell me you think I'm a knob.  The former over the latter works best for me...just as a hint.

Summer kicks off in Australia...

With the Parklife festival today. Sorry for the cheesiness of it all and 2 clips in a row but I'm just so hot damn excited. I have been a miserable cow since I've got back from London and suddenly there is a little break in the cloud that has been hovering above my head. Come say hi today...I've got a photographer and you might end up on here...no beige fuckers please.

Win some custom kicks!

People of Perth, get your camera's ready and snap your kicks, then get your index finger all up on the 'like' button.  Love you Highs and Lows xx

GAGA catches a wave

I guess this is how we're crowd surfing these days. I think Lady GG is tryna cross the blurry line from pop star to rock star.  I predict a flurry of nipple stars this summer at a music festival near you.

D.O.DOUBLE.G

A highlight for me at Glastonbury. I nearly wet myself. I think I did actually.

Australia I'm proud of ya, I friggin love livin 'ere!

(That's my version of the Aussie anthem btw)

So here are a few reasons why being down under ain't so bad. This is my tribute to the country that has done right by me for the last two years.

• Your construction workers are mainly tanned, hard bodied young lads who work with their tops off and make walking past a building site a pleasurable experience. As opposed to the pasty white, chubby middle aged brickies in England who have 10 sugars in their morning brew and scream out, 'awight darlin, show us ya tits' as they bend over and give you a nice view of pasty white ass crack while you're on your way to work.
  
• You boast glorious things like cheese Twisties, RedSkins, and Tim Tam's.


• Because you are a relatively a new country your history or culture isn't as abundant as say your fellow continents Africa and Europe, therefore, music plays a large part in your lives. In a way music (whichever genre you prefer) becomes your culture. This is not a bad thing.


• Many of us can't stand the Southern Cross tattoo, mainly because the person often sporting it is a bit of a douche bag, but really, I kinda admire the patriotism.


• Summer music festivals. The line up, the pre drinks, the build up etc etc...it's better than Christmas.


• Cut Copy, Pnau, Nick Cave, Silverchair, Grinspoon, The Temper Trap, The Vines, The Presets, Children Collide, Tame Impala, Empire of the Sun, ACDC, Crowded House, Architecture in Helsinki etc. You get my drift.


• Coming from Cape Town I am no stranger to natural beauty, but your beaches just make me wanna strip all my clothes off and run into the ocean. The water is warm, the sand is white, the boys are buff and you may run the possibility of being saved by one of them.


• If you play your cards right, your government gives you a hefty tax rebate in June - trust me, this hardly ever happens anywhere else. Plus lets not forget those 900 big ones we got last year. Yes even me, the lowly African, received those $$$.


• You all have livers that could rival the Irish.


• Sass & Bide, Ksubi, Zimmerman, Lisa Ho - you might be a nation that predominately sports shorts and flip flops (thongs) but you have much talent as far as fashion goes.


• I make fun of ya, but I secretly love how you add an 'o' on the end of everything i.e. servo (petrol station), bottle'o (off license), traino (duh), arvo (afternoon) etc Some say lazy speakers I say genius.

I'm not sure why so many of you long to be inn Europe or America because I tell ya what, it's pretty damn fly (and many of 'em) right here on this big 'ol island. Fair dinkum. (Sorry. couldn't help myself).

Happy bloody Australia day!

JUST BLOODY DO IT

My steeze for the weekend. Who said sequins are only for Vegas and sportswear is for the track? Bloody love it.

BEATS THAT MAKE MY LOWER BACK POP

Oi so I hit a 2 day music festival over the weekend, and whilst the obvious such as Moby doing an uber cool Lou Reed cover and the ever mega babe Karin O from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's being outta this world, I have to say Major Lazer was a major stand out performance for moi.

Diplo won my heart with the work he has done for my girl M.I.A in the past, but he has now catapulted his way into my soul with his banging dance hall electro fucking dopeness.

Not only that, the boy is so fly he causes me to need a knicker change. Check it.

Now I am so incredibly knackered from a weekend of mad dance skills and beats that I cannot be arsed to load the photo of my outfit that honoured Diplo's performance. Stay tuned for some owliness x

Take my advice...I don't use it anyway SPECIAL EDITION: SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVALS

KNOW THE LINE UP, CHECK THE TIMETABLE AND WORK OUT WHO YOU WANT TO SEE - There will be clashes, this is inevitable. But you what you need to do is work out who is the more 'epic'. Like if it was between say Elton John and The Presets...you might prefer the The Presets over old Johnny boy but ya know you will be banging to those clever Aussies at least another 10 times within the next 5 years but Elton John is someone you tell your kids about. You also may be misguided into seeing something you don't want to because half your crew has the deciding vote ... don't get sucked in. I found myself watching The Prodigy last year instead of Neil Young only to find that the British mentalists are returning this year and I have no idea when I will get to sway my lighter to Mr Young again.

THE ESSENTIALS INCLUDE ... - Sunscreen, a hairband to tie your hair up after you are fed up with it sticking to the sweat at the back of your neck, money, lip balm, wet wipes, sunglasses, painkillers for those impromptu exhaustion headaches and a good attitude.

WATER WATER WATER - Did I mention water?

THE OUTFIT - *YAWN* to the boys wearing denim cut offs, singlets, straw fedoras and those bloody kung fu shoe's. And girls...could we watch out for the dodgy fake tan jobs? Ya look super duper orange in the sun, like a walking bloody Cheezal. Go second hand shopping and choose something original. Flowy little frocks that you take up the hem to de-nerdify it. Or cheap as chips little singlet dresses with flip flops and loads of bling. Whatever, I don't really care what you wear, just don't be fucking beige about it.

PLEASE DON'T PISS ON THE TOILET SEAT - C'mon now. As if the process isn't gross enough.

THE WHOLE 'DRESSING UP IN MATCHING OUTFITS WITH WORDS WRITTEN ON YOUR CHEST IS ZINC' IS LIKE SOOOOO OVER - It's been done.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE LINE UP, AND CAN'T BE ARSED THEN DON'T GO - There is some poor sod out there who fucking loves it and couldn't go because it was sold out to some person who couldn't give a shit. Then again, that's life really innit?

WITH THE FESTIVAL COMES THE DRUGS... - Just don't be a silly bugger.

PLAY NICE - Come on...everyone is hot and everyone is sick of crowds. Be polite, offer your water, smile at someone and chill the fuck out.

I'm off to a 2 day festival this weekend...love you lots and I'll be sure to report back. Peace out owlies xx

Take my advice...I don't use it anyway HOMME Part 7

FOR BOYS ONLY

IF YOU LIKE A GIRL, THEN DON'T BE HOOKING UP WITH OTHER BROADS - She will find out and your chances will be ruined. RUINED.

SAYING THINGS LIKE 'SIT ON MY FACE' OR 'NICE TITS' WILL NOT WORK OUT WELL FOR YOU - Actually, I would be VERY interested to know if you have ever said these things to a complete stranger and you got laid...please let me know.

JUST BEING IN A BAND WILL NOT MAKE ALL GIRLS FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU - So you have a mediocre job, smoke weed all day and night, are drunk most of the time, sex text other birds and never take a shower....oh but you're in band you say? Well in that case...

PLEASE KEEP YOUR TOP ON AT MUSIC FESTIVALS - I don't care how long you have worked on your tan and pecs...but the whole top off thing is incredibly self indulgent. We can tell the difference between someone that is genuinely feeling the heat and needs to remove some clothing, and those that are prancing around like little narcissistic peacocks...emphasis on the word 'cocks'.

OF COURSE WE LOVE THE TASTE OF YOUR MAN JUICE ... - Don't you?
