BRUTAL HATE MOSH








pronounced "brutal kate moss"

this is some really beautiful and hopeful music, not exactly a regular thing for me, i remember meeting her in brisbane at a house show i was doing and after being a little stunned by how pretty she was she said something great to me about how people waste time and there was a queen who led an army to victory way back in the day at the age of 19 and then i got excitebale and started rambling about doing more and more and MORE. she gave us pictures of me and simon playing and me playing alone too and gave simon a flower saying "it wasn't that bad". it's soft and insulated pop music recorded on a tape and i love it. i can understand some of the words, "diorama" "spatula". good words.

BRUTAL HATE MOSH

send her mail and ask her for a tape.

THIS SONG IS A MESS BUT SO AM I









"is this fucking childish enough for you!"

i remember checking this guy out and reading that he had quit, he started the entire project to deal with his mother's death of cancer and he was greatful for everything he saw and the people he met, but he is done. i'm making a tape of one of his releases right now, my friend chris has it, i think he did some shows with him. "i met him a while ago, he is really straight looking, nice clothes and short hair, like a frat boy, but really really nice. we did a cool show together."

it sounds like a retarded and mean sort of disco anthem of xiu xiu songs. it's good and really dramtic and nice for when you feel that way. once every two months?

there isn't a myspace for him anymore i don't think, it's all over, but i bet if you look you can get his records.

GIRL MOUNTAIN









"halloween on brokeback mountain"

at every show ive seen simon play he has either cleared the room, been booed off stage or asked to stop. the first time i saw him play it was in his side project horsemania, three of my friends stayed to watch and the rest begged me everytime i got near them to make them stop, simon stumbled around and played his little keyboard and screamed every now and then almost completely out of time everytime "I'M LONELY AS HELL". i went back up to tour tasmania where he is from and i got to see him do his own stuff girl mountain, it's just as bad with the music, but theres more of simon in it, and i love it, we wrote five songs for each other in one day and i ended up making simon have them all. he does them better. he does comics to, he is better at the comics, but the music is just as good to me.
