The "upcoming" Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy doesn't exist.
Anyone who is looking forward to this album is a sucker.
My source says that Axl Rose has taken all the money meant for the album, and spent it on crack.
True story.
UPDATE: Not exactly sure whats going on or why this is an update, but over the recent weeks Gumtree has changed its look, so now its more confusing than ever to use and i don't know what the hell's going on. I created an ad under 'girls seeking guys' and also one under 'guys seeking girls', yet no responses and i cant find them on there anywhere. It also appears no one else knows how to use the new shoddy system, because theres random ads posted all over the place.
This sucks. Surname, take a look yeah? Read more »
the epic increase in flannelet atrocities walking our streets?
Flannies are not cool!
I'm sick of seeing bimbos in flannies, and heels, and not much else, thinking they are the height of fashion.
This trend is almost as bad as the fluro/metro trend. The one upside being that I'm not at risk of multiple seizures every time i attend a party.
Unless you are a rock star or a lumberjack give the flanny a miss.
Recently on this blog Chuck and TV have been discussing about how NiN have released the RAW tracks to their new album so fans can remix and fiddle with it.
In news along that track, one of my favourite bands of recent times has come back from the dead and released several new (well, aborted 2006) tracks online for people to mix how they want - and they might just appear on the new album.
I did not see this coming. Glad to have them back.
Check them out here.
Ok.
Let me make this as clear as I possibly can.
You will never get the scotch. No one will ever get the scotch. Also, this post is been bumped to the top to make my point clear.
My parents are sending it back to Iain and they are pissed about it, so if you actually do try and come get it, my mother will have a fucking conniption.[? - John]. Read more »
Last Friday was an extremely important day at Charles Angus Spear Pty Ltd. I had been attempting a world record at making the longest chain of paper clips and my assistant, Sophie, had spent the morning watching a vest on eBay. At about 1pm, I left the office in Sophia's hands to go and purchase a six-pack of beer to tide us both over until after-work drinks at the Marrakesh Lounge in Little Collins St. $1 Coronas were awaiting us.

Surname's in they're bad books and I'm consistently berated every time the subject arises, so we really need to drop it.
Thank you.

Iain Hall is a dope.He's just a dope.He's so consumed by hatred and insecurity, the only way he can get back at a blogger is to reveal their identity, and he can't even do that right - as shown by the hilarious way Ant manipulated Iain until he was a seething ball of rage.Recently, as many of you will know, Iain has outed THR as one Matthew French. Except there is one problem.Matthew French doesn't exist. Read more »
I'm pretty fond of David Cronenberg. A few of his films rank among my most favourite. And possibly my favourite of all of them is Videodrome. The film is a wonderful, disturbing epic and a complete mindfuck - it is up there with some of David Lynch's work for its grotesque headwarping appeal. (Also, James Woods grows a vagina on his chest and Debbie Harry shows off what her momma gave her).However, I just saw this trailer, for the very same film. Read more »
There's been a fair bit of discussion lately on Jeremy's blog and the Grodsthink podcast about music sharing and anti-piracy. And it's time I, Charles Angus Spear, weighed in on the whole debate.1. Get used to it. If people really dig a band they will buy their CDs. OK, there will be a small percentage who won't, but in the old days they would have dubbed a cassette tape anyway. Read more »

This is the most repulsive thing I've seen all year.I think I'm gay now.
This is the first in my hopefully soon-to-be-epic series of Amazing Films I've Never Seen. This series will feature films whose titles, plots or general mise en scene are just too amazing to exist - and yet somehow, do. These films are generally obscure beyond any modern knowledge (except for the occasional film freak or gatherer of knowledge regarding cheesy crap on celluloid - such as myself), and in a twist to the usual "review" schtick, I haven't actually seen any of them. But I want to. And that's the kicker. Read more »

A little unknown fact, John suffers from severe dyslexia and some how the name Lily was mistaken for Marlz. Thanks ever so much for the warm welcome! I apologize for the confusion.I would like to start by quoting prophet:"Most writers on here are very political and I’m not, so it would be nice to have someone else on the same team". I believe the words "female angle" were also used. So I guess you could say that I am the non-political female-angle addition.... that made me laugh.Well I’m Lily. Read more »

To re-announce my presence on this peculiar blog, I'm going to write about what a pretentious prat I am. Firstly, I would like to discuss something close to my heart: real men. And how it once was acceptable for a man to be tall, rugged and good-looking. What happened to the days when real men wore a sports coat on a Saturday afternoon with a cravat and used Brylcreem with a dash of Old Spice. What happened to strong jaw lines, broad shoulders, being dapper and clean shaven. Read more »
Some may remember a little while ago when I commented that the next episode of House may be airing on Ten before it will in America, but it turned out that the Ten Network use the word 'new episode' with every waking breath, so they basically lied to me.

Just wanted to share with you my favorite Monty Python sketch of all time....hell, my favorite comedy piece ever created. Not only is Pythons genius something to marvel over, but a sketch like this just goes to show how a simple idea can become something remarkable.

You guys know the Monkees, right? The fabricated rock 'n' roll Beatles-knock offs who made it big with a few singles and a TV show in the 1960s before their TV show got cancelled and they broke up?Well, what you may not be aware of is that the concept of a pre-fab TV band was repeated in the 1980s - the same concept. In fact, the concept was so exactly like the Monkees that they decided to call it: "The New Monkees". Read more »
Back in the 90s I was paired with a girl called Kathryn to do a homework assignment. Kathryn was in an unusual religious sect. Some sort of cult. Anyhow, I went to her house after school to work on the assignment and I noticed a few strange things.a) They didn't have a TV.b) There were no magazines or newspapers around.And c) Her father was giving me the heebie-jeebies with his hocus-pocus mumbo-jumbo.

It's that time of semester (or so i assume) that the school's Union decides they need another student voice to contribute to the already teeming student representative council.
This process is completely pointless.
This is why:
-90% of the candidates are the crazed socialist that tackle you daily offering to sell you wank propaganda.
-The other 10% of candidate's policies are identical. Offering a contribution towards "better student services", but never actually specifying what this is. Read more »
Alex Jesaulenko and 'The Mark', were in the news again today. Tim Lane has devoted a column to 'The Mark.' The Media, the AFL, advertising agencies, car makers and fans cling to the hype of 'The Mark' like Christians cling to the idea that Jesus was the son of (g)od. We know the latter is bullshit, however, like Jesus, 'The Mark' has earned mythical status and any criticism of it is generally shunned. Read more »

Moments ago Prophet posted a scathing attack on Corey Delaney's entrance into the Big Brother house. Prophet stated that it was a failure. We can all reasonably agree that putting that moron into the house was simply a ratings ploy.If putting that retarded bogan into the house succeeded in getting someone like Prophet, whom otherwise would not watch the show (or so he says), to tune in, than couldn't we reasonably assume that others would too?

The world would be a better place if Bryan Singer never, ever directed another movie. If you are wondering who Singer is, he directed Superman Returns, X-Wankers and the new money making vehicle for the raving lunatic, Tom Cruise, called Valkyrie. Singer will be directing the sequel to Superman Returns and if it's anything like his last effort, it will be a snore-fest, devoid of any character development or conflict. Read more »

When Prophet suggested that we needed a female blogger, the last thing I expected was for him to appear at my door in a simply dishy skirt.Yet, that is what happened one bleak September morn.Fast-forward to today, where we managed to get the next best thing - an actual female. At least I hope she is, because I've never met her. I'm trusting Prophet's judgment, and he did tell me Hilary Clinton was a man.Welcome Marlz everyone!

In case you hadn't already realised, Australian films are not very popular. This is because many of them are crap. Jim Schembri from The Age thinks that Australia should start making genre films, citing Wolf Creek as an example (and blissfully ignoring Rogue - budget: $25,000,000, box office takings: $1,500,000). Jim Schembri is also full 'o shite. Read more »
