Young Australian artist producing genuine quality music. The original version of Zimbabwe by Sydney band New Navy was one of last years catchy gems and launched them into a really good place. <a name='more'></a>They released an excellent EP Ulawatu on local Syd label Future Classic (<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/uluwatu-ep/id466412519">available here</a>), were one of Triple J's Next Crop Artists and toured with artists the ilk of the Holidays and The Midnight Juggernauts.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rufus are also Sydney locals (they do produce a lot of talent as much as it hurts me to say that as a Melburnian) and first came to my attention early last year when they remixed Elizabeth Rose's track Stars Ago. Truth be told I thought it was one bloke producing tracks but they'e a band and one whose live show I'm eagerly awaiting. Paris Collides is a standout track from them, haunting vocals soaring over rhythmic kick drums in the chorus before returning to more melodic verses. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm definitely a bit late on these guys but you can't keep up with everyone!</span></div><br />

Actually there's lots of reasons! Summer rolls around (officially. happy first day of summer everyone!), the cricket is on in Australia and my birthday and Christmas fall in close succession. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then of course there's time off over Christmas of course and the Boxing Day test. However, one event occurs in the second weekend December that has me more excited than anything else. It's an annual thing that I share with many friends and have done so for 5 years (with others having done it for many many more!)<br />
<br />
It is an event.<br />
An experience.<br />
A pilgrimage.<br />
An adventure.<br />
The Supernatural Amphitheater<br />
It is the Meredith Music Festival, and this year she turns 21.<br />
<br />
Quite simply it is one of the highlights of my year and the most special festival in all of Australia. Amazing music form awesome bands that you know and many that you don't. You'll always come away from Meredith having learned about a new band. No advertising or sponsors, same size as it's been for years, BYO booze, and best of all, thanks to the 'No Dickhead' policy, amazing people. The people are truly what make Meredith so special. Oh, and the animal suits are pretty good : )<br />
<br />
This year the <a href="http://2011.mmf.com.au/whos-playing/">line up</a> look's pretty solid, quite excited about a few bands in particular check out tracks from a few below.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I love bikes to bits. I love bikes in bits, in means there's a chance to put them back together again (which I also love!) I've got a special love for classic old frames and when i saw a mid 70s Peugeot bike in reasonable knick on ebay it got my mind racing (excuse the pun).</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Not knowing a heap about French bikes I started researching a bit and found out a bit about the PR10 that this bloke was selling. Turns out they're close to topline bikes with excellent steel tubing and are are very very nice bikes when done up. No brainer! I ended up getting it for $50 from ebay, bargain. Below are some photos as it looked when I picked it up.</span><br />

As a proud Gooner I couldn't be happier seeing pain inflicted on the red side of Manchester, however it was the magnitude and ease with which the '<a href="http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/world/10765040/fergie-confident-of-silencing-noisy-neighbours-city/">noisy neighbours</a>' dominated that was surprising.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In light of the belting, and in such a hyped game, I thought i'd have a quick glance over some of the biggest thrashings in the past 22 years (I know it's not quite all Premier League but wanted to squeeze in one form 89/90!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Manchester City 6 - Manchester United 1 (2011)</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Start with the freshest! Man Utd really never turned up, with Wayne Rooney the only one who could hold his head high. Balotelli was brilliant with David Silva deadly and the 46th minute sending off of Jonny Evans when United were only 1-0 down the beginning of the end.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Manchester City 8 - Arsenal 2 (2011)</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This was one of the biggest thrashings in the Premier League era and on a personla note, a very difficult one to watch. Arsenal were simply outclassed by a slick Manchester outfit, clearly announcing themselves as the dominant force early in the season. Rooney and summer signing Ashley Young tore Arsenal to shreds, both scoring hat-tricks as Arsenal faced one of their darkest days. (excuse the poor video)</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Middlesborough 8 - Manchester City 1 (2008)</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Just to illustrate what a difference a few years can make, let's look back to 2008 when Middlesborough handed City a 8-1 shellacking. Borough controlled the entire day with Sven Goran Eriksson coaching his last game at Eastlands as a result. While City now find themselves a few managers down the line sitting pretty in 1st, Borough were relegated next season and are still fighting their way out. Have a look at Stewart Downing's cracker with the outside of his foot</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Newcastle 8 - Sheffield Wednesday 0 (1999)</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">All of games listed so far have had at least one consolation goal scored. Not here. Poor Sheffield Wednesday felt the full wrath of Alan Shearer as he returned to the starting line up in Bobby Robson's first home game in charge of the Toon. Shearer was back to his vintage best, smashing 5 past a hapless Wednesday who were relegated at the end of the season. Poor Wed keeper Kevin Pressman.</span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Manchester City 5 - Manchester United 1 (1989)</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I know this doesn't quite fit into the Premier League years, but it serves a purpose to illustrate how long between drinks it was for Man City thrashing Man Utd. they have won some derbies in between, however this win in 89 came after 2 years in the division 2 wilderness (as it was at the time) for City.</span><br />

In the movie world however, the finance sector was booming, and Wall Street the film introduced us to Gordon Gecko, the slick trader brilliantly played by Michael Douglas. “Greed is good” became a household saying and its impact is still audible more than 20 years later in the lexicon of today.</span></span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Greed has caused subsequent crashes in the financial markets and some people even consider it a deadly sin. Yet like a few of those other ‘deadly’ sins, greed sells. Greed is good marketing.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">We all know how much is too much (well, most of us) yet sometimes it just looks too good too pass up! How many people jumped on <a href="http://www.marketingmag.com.au/news/paunchykfccampaignthedouble-4953/">KFC’s Double Down</a> when it launched (only temporarily) in Australia early this year.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Causing slightly less furor yesterday was 7-11 as they ran their Slurpee BYO Cup Day. People were invited to bring their own vessel along to 7-11 and fill up for the price of a medium Slurpee ($2.60). It had to fit to 28cm x 26cm size restriction, but this rule appears to have been flouted. There were a whole range of different containers seen, from a KFC bucket to a cup made from Lego. There was even a soccer ball!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">7-11, or more specifically Slurpee, have shown to be pretty creative marketers in the past, frequently leveraging their iconic status and passionate fan base to generate effective word of mouth and viral campaigns that they’ve supported with point of sale media. Their nine flavours in <a href="http://www.slurpee.com.au/news/view/nine-flavours-nine-weeks">Nine weeks campaign</a> is a good example. Slurpee have also proved to be <a href="http://www.slurpee.com.au/news/view/cadel-s-cup-free-yellow-cups-of-slurpee">reactive</a> on a smaller scale from time to time. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Others have been more structured and planned.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">BYO Cup day appears to have been a great success for 7-11, generating a <a href="http://www.thevine.com.au/gig-guide/entertainment/slurpee-byo-cup-day20110911.aspx">bit</a> of <a href="http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2011/09/tomorrow-is-byo-cup-day-at-7-eleven/">publicity</a>, a lot of user generated content across twitter, FB and You Tube and (one can only assume) a lot of sales for a reasonably small outlay (it really can’t cost much to make Slurpees!) it all has the recipe for a clever piece of marketing by 7-11. <b>Edit: Found out Leo Burnett behind this campaign too</b>.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />

While in Malaysia we hit up the lovely beaches of Langkawi and then moved onto KL for some exploring, food and shopping. We decided on Langkawi after looking it up and seeing the tranquil blue water and white sand we were so keen on to just relax and unwind with a cocktail of six.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> It started raining on the first night we got in and barely stopped for 5 days. You know what tropical rain is like. Big shit. It's the biggest loser of rain. So there were a lot of cards played, drinks had, lovely chats with the better half but no sun and certainly no beach.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">So I did what any sensible person does. I tuned to music and made a Langkawi rain go away playlist to celebrate all things rainy (or lack of sun-y depending how you look at it). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It was long, but here are 5 of my favourites (and a gem I just found).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><object height="81" width="100%"><param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F5724545&"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="60" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F5724545&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed></object></span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">1. </span>Fritz Kalkbrenner - Facing the Sun</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Fritz is one of two insanely talented producers/DJ brothers from Berlin. The track has an awesome, almost latin feel with the guitar and rhythm at the start before the bass kicks in with a thud. He sings on his own tracks with a voice that polarises people. I love it, it really makes you listen. This is what sunny Langkawi would have sounded like for me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F3140723"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F3140723" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object></span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">2. </span>Travis - Why Does it always rain on me?</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I was asking myself this a fair bit while we were in Langkawi. This is actually an old favourite of mine, I remember loving it from the moment I first heard it in high school. Great track.</span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">3. </span>The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This is one of my favourite Beatles tracks and probably George Harrison's best known contribution to writing for the Beatles. Was hoping that this might inspire the sun to poke its damned head out. #Fail</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Nina Simone - Here Comes the Sun (Francois K Remix)</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Why it wasn't on my playlist, while looking for the above track I found an amazingly lush remix of Nina Simone covering the track. Francois K on the remix</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F9956319"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F9956319" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object></span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">4. </span>Washed Out - Feel it all Around</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This song still makes me feel like I'm lazing outdoors in the sun with no agenda and a beer (basically what I should have been doing in Langkawi). It was the first track that got me into Washed Out, a producer from Georgia in the States. Everything he touches is beautiful chillwave gold - <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thebabeinthewoods">listen more</a></span><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">5. </span>The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I've never been a huge Kinks fan, but this was on my girlfriends iPod as we cruised the Island and it seemed to deserve a spot. It is a great song after all!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Do you have a favourite track (or playlist even) for when it get rainy outside? Let me know in comments, or even better link to your track so we can all hear it!</span><br />

You definitely should when you ask someone to copy something, give them a picture to work off and they say they can do it.</span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">I recently took a trip to Bali and Malaysia. It was a brilliant trip and loved both countries, but more to come on that later. Having been to Bali a few times I had some things tailored and made before and read up on a leather tailor that was supposed to be pretty good at copying shoes. I took my pictures of a few pairs of topman shoes in and was assured no problems, they could copy them exactly.</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">I went away filled with excitement at the prospect of several new pairs of dapper shoes (tan brogues, black round toe gibsons and black desert boots to be exact – one may as well get one’s moneys worth) coming back a few nights later to pick my new wheels up. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Now I’m not saying my grandpa wouldn’t wear the shoes that were in front of me (quite the contrary as these were old man shoes) but they’d definitely be his last resort.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
