what a weird picture, looks like i've
got no mouth. certainly it's a "gurn",
that's for sure, but it's the only pic there was
from the fbi party on sunday night at bondi pavillion.
a fine way to end a fine year - djing on bondi
beach!
had a great 'fat planet' show on sunday afternoon
- a best of 2003 round-the-world round up, taking
in 38 countries in 180 minutes (one track from
each country) and playing them in geographical
order. finished off with an interview with luke
vibert (which tenuously brought us back to australia
in the round the world stakes as he's playing
here with aphex in about 3 weeks). playlist is
online here.

merry xmas one and all! hope santa was
good / satan was evil to you (delete as applicable).
had my first 'xmas on the beach experience' -
here's the view from coogee on xmas morning :::
as a special gift for xmas (aww, shucks), i've
updated the mp3 links
page so y'all can download audio from the
likes of ANTICON, ELECTROCUTE, HEAT SENSOR,
KING SEVEN vs LFO, KRAFTWERK, LUKA BOP, MARUMARI,
RADIOBOY and ANGIE REED.
happy holidays :-)

so saddam gets captured and i play my
first track from iraq on the radio. coincidence?
absolutely entirely. [sunday's fat planet playlist
now online].
interviewed LUKE VIBERT last week [for broadcast
on sunday 28th december, people!]. lovely bloke,
even with the strange garbled telecommunications
equipment and the fact that he was 11 hours behind
me. really weird.
another weird thing is the fact that it's nearly
xmas and it's bloody hot in sydney. can't quite
get to grips with it. should be cold / snowy and
we should be thinking about roast dinners, not
having a xmas barbeque... still, surely musn't
f'ing grumble :-)
new tunes getting my ears in a tizz this week
include BLACK DICE 'endless happiness' remixed
by eye from THE BOREDOMS; DFA remix of the new
UNKLE single; RILO KILEY the execution of all
things; JAHCOOZI fish; COBRA KILLER heavy rotation;
plus new albums from THE MAGNIFICENTS (cheers
colvin!) andTHE MITGANG AUDIO - and another tune
which just won't quit is KELIS' milkshake ...
goddam that's one catchy muthafucking song. sweeeeeet!

had the opening of the sculpturetainment
exhbition last night at the knot gallery in surry
hills, which features robyn's piece entitled 'cluckers'
(above). t'was a great turn out making for good
company and a damn fine opening all in all. more
photos here.

had the launch of the sydney festival
bar last night, of which fbi
is a supporter. then went onto the wonderful underground
RSL known as the nippon club, where i discovered
a new delicacy - deep fried rocket. somebody somewhere
really needs to sort something out for vegetarians...
and fast. some
photos from last night added here.
also uploaded some long overdue pics
from the honeymoon, with some more to come
soon.

finally, the wedding photos are now online - click
here for the online album // for all those
keen enough to trawl throughthe pics, your diligence
will be paid off with the added bonus (?) of seeing
a few men in skirts.
robyn is this week featured in a new exhibition,
SCULPTURETAINMENT, at the knot gallery, 107/342
elizabeth street, surry hills, sydney. the exhibition
is described by organisers as "sculptural
pieces with an intrinsic entertainment value and
bits that buzz, whir & go bump in the night".
the exhibition opens on wednesday (3rd) and runs
until next tuesday (9th). photos on here soon,
hopefully along with an explanation about why
she has stuffed surgical gloves with cotton wool
and recorded an hour's worth of chicken's going
'cluck'.
been an exhausting weekend - got on the decks
with boffa for a fully sick lunchtime "mix"
live on fbi (or rather he mixed, i turned the
turntables off). it was a 'versus' set, one on,
one off - i pulled out pigbag, the timelords,
sparks, jimi tenor and (yes madam) mr jack random
- getting his first ever airplay - crooning 'in
the ghetto'. a legend is re-born :-)
had an fbi benefit night on friday at sydney's
mandarin club featuring some great aussie hip-hop
/ post-rock / etc. special mention to entropic
for managing to fall somewhere between post-rock,
krautrock, jazz and funk - great stuff.
saturday night i tried my hand at dj-ing again
(it's been such a long time) at a party for the
sydney esquisse [public art festival]. a good
night which mainly served to remind me of my limitations
- and reminded me why i don't dj more often ("excuse
me mr dj, got any spanish stuff, you know latin?
this music is a little technical").
sunday - fat planet on the radio, was supposed
to be a sunny day so i played a few tunes from
soul jazz's new 600% dynamite jamaican reggae
collection - only for the clouds to gather and
for reggae to be the soundtrack for a sunday that
never was... just goes to show that even in sunny
australia, we can sometimes only manage a paltry
24 degrees in december - pah!
