...and just like that SXSW Sydney is done. It was always a bit of a schmozzle, but the music side of things was fun. At least I can say I went to a SXSW...cause I almost certainly won't make it to Austin.

Has anyone made a doomsday clock for a US Civil War?

It's not The Great Race for nothing. That Bathurst was off the chain yesterday and there's nothing more Aussie than the team going 'Oh...fuck yeah' on live TV as they round the final turn...

#33 - Augie March - One Crowded Hour
A song that I've never connected with, but I get why people like it.
The main reason is that I was overseas the year it came out and then I felt like I missed the moment..
