What's this? Two updates in the space of a week? And we're not even active at the moment? This shit is all backwards. Ah well. Just wanted to let you all know that we have mp3s available for free online at the following address:
http://www.mp3.com.au/decanting.the.pride
So spread the good word and whatever.

Peder will be coming back earlier than originally planned. At this point in time, he is due to return to our shores in late August or so, but it could be earlier, depending on how quickly he completes his Leprechaun-killing quest for Lord Marduk. This is sweet news for us, as it means that the reality of a reunion is more likely. Huzzah. In your face, Lord Marduk.
CDs are still available. If you want one, just leave us a message here or whatever. We barely check the Hotmail address at the moment, so you are better off avoiding that option entirely.
The Moors Murders are releasing an EP soon. Or maybe they've already released it. Whatever, either way, check it out. I personally haven't heard it, but I am sure it is good enough to justify their move to Brisbane. God speed, little Murders.
Nothing. No sound. No light. No air to breathe. Only the bone-deep cold and the horrid, oily tar-taste, creeping up my nostrils, pressing against my lips.
This is it.
No way to fight it now.
No hope left.
No chance.
This is it.
This is the end.

many years ago now, four badgers managed to esacpe from the fortress/lair of the evil professor ludwig von-nogood, and go into the world armed with the skills/powers that the evil professor ludwig von-nogood had endowed them with. he had given each of them a skill/power which he had planned to use to gain world domination. to the first he gave the skill/power of being able to scream in an unholy manner, to the second was the skill/power of being able to beat on things endlessly without ever tiring, the third's hips he powered with the combined 'soul force' of every 1960's african-american diva, and finally, the fourth he gave eyes more beautiful than had ever been dreamed of before. once the badgers escaped, they took to using their powers for only good. they found the four sexiest boys that they could and attacked them, using their 'magical saliva' to pass on their skill/powers. unfortunately all their 'magical saliva' contained was rabies, and all those four boys died after repeatedly running into brick walls. so then the badgers found us, sitting in the gutter, poking ourselves in the eye with sticks we had found earler. they lured us into their car [the evil professor ludwig von-nogood also gave them the power to hot wire and drive a car..just in case] with candy and proceeded to school us in their ways. once they believed we were ready, they sacrificed themselves and gave each of us one of their magical body parts. so now, we come before the world, armed with our magical badger body parts, we set about using their powers as best we can. hoping to conquer the world and usher in a new era of love and respect between all peoples of the earth.

Books:

[at the moment]
planet simpson - chris someone. the book is upstairs, i am not going to get it. but it is awesome. it is like a psychoanalytical exploration of the deeper contribution of the simpsons to modern pop culture and how simultaneously the brilliance of the show made it possible to succinctly satire modern society by highlighting its flaws. man, that was deep.
this i believe - carlos fuentes

MySpace Trains are quite clearly the worst invention ever.

As if chain mail wasn't bad enough. Chain mail was for losers, and MySpace trains are for losers with big, weird eyebrows. I'm just making this assumption based on the calibre of the majority of the p...
