Giraffes? Scandal!

So, apparently, Australia is now one of the fattest countries in the world. Tasmania, it also turns out, is the fattest state in one of the fattest countries in the world. Now, I’m well aware that I’m not responsible in any way for that statistic – hell, I don’t even have an arse (note, for future reference: Linc has no arse) – but that’s gotta be a worrying sign. A state full of poor, unemployed, fat bogans that didn’t finish grade eleven. But we all knew that already.

I saw a uteload of said fat fuckers on my way back from Eastlands the other day. Imagine if you bought five human-sized balloons, stuck them in all in a car, and THEN inflated them until they consumed ALL CONCEIVABLE SPACE in the car. It was like Gilbert Grape’s mum had been squashed into a small aquarium fishtank.  This is basically what I saw. Fat. Fucks.

In other news. Lochie J put me onto this band. He calls them math rock, I call them awesome. They call themselves Giraffes? Giraffes! and I don’t know anything else about them. They don’t like giving much away on their website.

Check out the video Giraffes? Giraffes! live in New Hampshire (i can’t embed it for some reason)

The Scandal are about to launch a new 7″ single. I worked with the band in the studio a few months ago, and this is probably the best thing that’s I’ve produced so far. Check out the new single up on the band’s myspace.
