deirdre and the metal yoda
by jebni on July 30, 2004
Hey, scroll down a bit or click here and you’ll find that Deirdre from More Crap For The Masses has left us a blow by blow account of her dream come true — playing support for Cyndi Lauper. Thanks, Deirdre. (…)
shark attack
by jebni on July 29, 2004
Split Enz were titans in Australasia, but never became a world-conquering force. It’s a pity. Setting aside the obvious explanation of “they looked silly!”, perhaps there were too many tangents for them to remain focused, with a total of three (…)
sympathy for the ignorant hero
by jebni on July 27, 2004
Some abstract notes: I’ve been thinking about ignorance. When it surfaces in a narrative, it can mark a thrilling moment of crisis where structures of knowledge are simultaneously dissolved and presented to stretch to infinity. In fiction, keeping one’s characters (…)
the comfort of men
by jebni on July 26, 2004
There’s been so much fucking death lately it’s not funny, and my brother has somehow succeeded in driving me into the waiting arms of Morrissey. Not really in the obvious, gloomy sense of his persona — I’ve never really been (…)
and if we can destroy them…
by jebni on July 22, 2004
…you can bet your life we will destroy them. I just realised that Internet Explorer for Windows’ stupid CSS rendering bugs have been making my blog look totally whack-attack for weeks. Sorry guys. I’ve kinda fixed it now to work (…)

I said I was over it, but here’s one belly of the beast I wouldn’t mind entering: there’s an internship open at Intel Labs for their Urban Probes project. Intel have done some interesting, Situationist-inspired stuff about urbanism and mobility (…)
“i love you too. but rhetorically.”
by jebni on July 9, 2004
Cyndi Lauper: so much feeling in such a small body. How could she have simultaneously been so dignified, crazy, elegant and uh, unusual? Highlights: Total engagement. The blurry shot above is one of many trips she made into the audience, (…)

Sushi. I love sushi! – Cyndi Lauper, “Yeah Yeah” You may recall that that I’ve mentioned Katy Stevens (1, 2) in the past. But I somehow never found her blog, Sushipop, nor her Jossology project. {Smacks forehead} Oh yeah, Cyndi (…)
