"You've just checkmated my teenage cynacism"

Yeah short post but I just *had* to share this one with you. Truly beautiful.
Daphne Loves Derby - To Struggle With Light Colours

And this one is just cool. I'll throw up another Danger track just to show you his outfit.

Friday 13


Friday 13th brought some very bad news indeed. Turns out Bread's father took a job over in Perth and as a result this could very well be the end of the road for the dynamic duo (Bread and I). We'll keep on fighting this separation, doing our best to remain in close-contact but we all know that in life there are no guarantees. No, I'm not giving up on us, just merely acknowledging a possibly unfavorable outcome. Regardless, our time spent was well spent and we're just unlucky that things played out the way they did. However, we do have plans to start a collab channel on Youtube with Nick rockin' his guitar and me on the piano/synth while sharing the vocals around which should keep us connected. We'll keep you posted.

Perhaps A little music can brighten up the gloomy air surrounding this post.


A little something by my favourite powerpop band - the title says it all.
Forver The Sickest Kids - Catastrophe

It's catchy but not so relevant. However, it might not be your cup of tea with verses that can only be described as sounding like a white version of The Black Eyed Peas. However, catchy dance inspired choruses stand are prevalent.
Chronic Future - Sometimes

Thy promised remix by The Twelves
M.I.A. - Boyz (The Twelves Remix)


And last but not least, a quite relevant song (minus the sexual undertones) by one of my favourite post-hardcore bands, Framing Hanley.
Framing Hanley - Home

There were some broken links in the birthday post below but they're fixed now. I think...

And A Happy Birthday To You (From The Spread To The Bread)


Happy birthday breadbo. Rejoice as you are now free to watch MA movies. Also, being 15 means you're one year closer to being able to legally engage in sexual intercourse, get your Ls and play paintball (in vic).

With love from the spread

Happy Birthday To Me


Wow, this year has either gone really quick or I have the memory of a goldfish (most likely the latter as I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast (even though I eat the same thing everyday)). But yeah, my birthday is coming up soon, not to mention Christmas. Sure, I don't celebrate the holiday as such but I still get presents.

As a form of procrastinating I have compiled a little Birthday/Xmas wishlist - bare with me.

Birthday
  • Behringer BCD-3000
  • studio headphones
  • 2 tier keyboard stand
  • condenser microphone
  • external hard drive
Xmas
  • SLR camera
  • MIDI interface
  • clothes
  • lacrosse gear?
  • new computer?
  • bigger keyboard?
Divorced parents = Presents * 2 = a
Job at maccas (soon) = Cashmoney = b
Therefore:
December = a^b - common sense.


Okay music time.

I believe I mentioned Say Anything's latest (self-titled) album in my last proper post. In case any of you guys are computer/blog/limewire illiterate then here's the link:
Say Anything - Say Anything

Here's a little beat juggling by A-Trak, who at 15 (the youngest ever) won the DMC's World DJ Championship. Here he is 12 years later...


I'm in the midst of a slight obsession with The Twelves. Bread could probably attest to that. But yeha, here's their breakthrough remix of "Boyz" by MIA. Expect to see more posts featuring the amazing musical stylings of this Brazillian duo.
(oops i uploaded the wrong one I shall post it above soon).
Black Kids - Boyfriend (The Twelves Remix)


Sporting a sound unlike any other band I've heard in my life are Aussie outfit, Theatre of Disco. Click on the link below now...
Theatre of Disco - Donnie Disco


I'm ashamed of how long it took me to actually sit down and listen to these guys. Big mistake.
A Day To Remember - I'm Made Of Wax Larry, What're You Made Of?

Ending with my post a theme birthday will be firstly be this Say Anything number that *is* on their latest album so don't bother downloading this if you've already got the album!
Say Anything - Death For My Birthday
Bright Eyes - Happy Birthday To Me (Feb. 15)

Night Brooke :)

He Bit Me!


Don't ask how but today Brooke and I tamed a duck and made it our pet. We named it James, fed it, and let it nibble on my shoes. It got to the stage where it followed us everywhere we went. Fascinating...

I just got Say Anything's new self-titled album and I must say I was taken on quite a journey. Hold on tight as Bemis attempts to answer some of life's biggest questions empowering you to better yourself in the process.
This one might just have changed my life... Might...
Say Anything - Do Better
A shout-out to our once metal friend, Brooke.
Say Anything - Cemetery
And my favourite song.
 Say Anything - Mara and Me

Oh and hey have another one.
A Bird A Sparrow - Waves

(Apologies to Brooke and Unkie RyRy, I'll write something about our funtastic outings tomorrow)
