Anyone here remember the music festival that used to run back in the late 90s/early 00s, which was just independent Australian/NZ acts (I think)..? A Something For Kate song just came on and it triggered a whole lost memory of going to the showgrounds back in the day to see Shihad, Powderfinger, Something For Kate etc...wasn't early BDO, was a smaller indie type thing...

Oh man I'm not entirely sure, but you've just unlocked an awesome memory of when I saw Powderfinger/Something for Kate/Stella One Eleven at the Coogee Bay Hotel in Sydney back in '99 - one of my all time fave gigs to this day.

EDIT: Maybe you mean the Livid Festivals in 2002/2003? Powderfinger & SFK did 2002, Shihad 2003. Wasn't at the Showgrounds though. From what I can see, Powderfinger have only ever played there as part of BDO, nothing else.

Can you tell this is bugging me now too?!? :D

Saw Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire this evening. I like that they're not taking it too seriously these days with this franchise. It's simple storied, full of cheesy exposition and it's big dumb fun. There is a place in the world for kaiju movies which delve into human nature and deeper meanings but this franchise ain't it... and that's just fine by me.

Young Eagle and I are off to see it tomorrow morning. I'm glad to know I will at least be entertained.

Ahahahaha, I put my cake face on and now I can’t be bothered going out. 😂

Edit: Present me is ever so pleased with past me. An unopened bottle of Merlot has been discovered. Cheese with these new fandangled Red Rock Sundried Tomato + Italian Herbs it is!

Oh and some SBS. Watching Truth Will Out, but the other half of the household is out so something else will have to do.
