Spring

Spring is here, and i’m still stuck in traffic … imagine if I had to travel more than 10km a day

At least we have our trip to NZ to look forward to, off in a couple of weeks for just under 3 weeks. Thought it was about time I had a look around NZ, it’s been a few years since i’ve been back so it will be choice to see everyone again.

Plus, when we get back there will be new Heroes to watch, haha

iPhone 3G

Ok, so I wasn’t the biggest nerd in Sydney, I waited till the 2nd week of the iPhone 3G launch hoping that the lines outside the Sydney Apple Store wouldn’t be that long… So I was disappointed when I rocked up at 7am on a cold windy winter morning and found out that there were people in the queue already, an hour before the store opened. After 5 hours of standing/sitting in the line, I was all signed up and ready to go.

And that was the start of the fun, since then I think i’ve restored my iPhone from factory settings about 4-5 times to install new firmware and jailbreak. Yesterday was the final straw, the ‘Phone’ application was crashing, I coudln’t even see recent calls or get to the dialer, so after spending most of the night lastnight restoring the firmware, setting the phone up as new, & quickpwning I think we are back to a stable platform, now if all the apps would stop crashing ..

I love my iPhone, just ask Anita, but it’s been so much work getting it to a usable state, I found that manually managing it caused a few issues so i’m back to an automatic sync with some quality controlled iTunes playlists. Time to get back all those awesome jailbreak apps, Snapture, Cycoder, MxTube, Winterboard to name just a few …

Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream

Empire of the Sun is a collaboration between PNAU member Nick Littlemore and Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson. I just love the video, expect more things from this talented two.

Lyrics

Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Thought I’d never see
The love you found in me
Now it’s changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

Catch me I’m falling down
Catch me I’m falling down

Don’t stop just keep going on
I’m your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right till first light

Live from rehearsals: 1,000,000

Trent Reznor is back, this time with some pretty awesome studio footage, looks like this US Tour is going to be pretty awesome, I guess I will have to wait for the Blu-Ray disc next year as I can’t see Trent bringing a 3rd live show downunder in the space of 3 years, would be awesome, but I don’t expect anything … Just some footage on Blu-Ray, that would suffice…

On other music news, I have just heard the new track from Slipknot, called All Hope Is Gone, which is a pretty heavy return for the 9 piece and sees the album co-produced by the band and Dave Fortman. I look forward to giving that one a go next month!

Word around the music blogs last week were that 9 tracks from the new Guns ‘n’ Roses album Chinese Democracy have been leaked online, the tracks are said to already be mastered … 14 years later, and we finally get to hear something, will let you know what I think.
