hey hey
its australia day
its 7 46
the humidity is already steaming
the clouds hover uncertainly
the sun comes out n its hard to believe
its the same sun as that pale little yellow thing
that shows up here in winter
man this sun is verily a ball of burning gas gas gas
now i aint gonna write a thing about capt'n cookie
and his seamen
who discovered australia
after all
thats how things were done in those days
you turned up with a union jack n voila
the king had a new continent or whatever
too bad about the people who lived there
we all know this story
the story of a brutal humanity trying to wake up from dark ages
we still are with these idiots in australia promoting lamb
lamb as our australia day dish
its obscene
its barbarously cruel
and a lamb after all is about australian as a polar bear
eating meat is bad for ya folks
but you already know that too
and real bad for the planet
but you already know that too
of course you know that aust is hot in jan
we're in the southern hemisphere to the left of new zealand
you know my mum n dad migrated here for 10 pounds
brought me with em
thus derailing my chances of being an english rockstar
but on the other hand the weather is better here
have had a troubled relationship with ingland ever since
its hard to be neither one thing nor another
but i'm not really much of anything
too aussie for poms
too pommy for aussies
too young once
now too old
in conflict with everyone on this planet over something
except ricky miami and martin krall who are the 2 guys
with whom i can actually be myself
everyone else i gotta watch my step
because a civil war may erupt and i'm so sick of arguing
but you gotta argue argue argue
dontcha?
anyway its real bloody quiet out there
todays the day there may be some racial riots on the beach
they check yer cossies n towels mate
to see if yer carrying booze or drugs or weapons
a million hoons will cram into bondi in nissan skylines
and rev up n down mainstreet
where unfortunately for the petrolheads
the limit is just a snail-like 40 kmh
and loads n loads of johnny wallopers
theyre holding a huge veg barbeque somewhere in bondi today
protesting the pathetic lamb idiots
and eating healthy things that dont have
adrenalin bad karma and cancerous hormone doo dahs attached
if you like to eat lamb
then fuck you
why dont you wise up?
anyway its very quiet as i said
i feel guilty about my short post yesterday
so i up early making amends
my detractors will be happy to see the glowing review in popmatters
where we one of best records of 2009
my detractors will also be happy to know
my tax is paid off!
ha!
my detractors will also be happy to know
i have projects bursting at the seams
and theyre all fucking excellent
i tell you no lie in spades for sure
my detractors will also be happy to know
a friend of mine rigged this little program
which monitors my comments
and automatically deletes spam phish n abusive stuff
i dont even get to read it n i last time i checked
you still got barry typing away his
puerile scatological frustration
but thats what youd expect from him, isnt it?
a failure on every level
furtively writing abuse no one will ever read
the poor poor fellow......i really do pity him you know
my detractors will be happy to know
i am working hard across many disciplines
nailing it for the renaissance men everywhere
my detractors will be happy to know
tibor 2 is behaving himself like a good beast
and is very very nice to drive
i dont need a lot to make me happy
but last night we had a picnic by the sea n it made me happy
the girls knocking themselves out in the water
while me n the missus munched on our veg schnitzels
and all the fixings
i admit my blogs have been a little lacking lately
and this slightly perplexes me
perhaps i am spreading myself too thin
but it seems theres an endless stream of stuff ready to
bubble forth
so i continue
i need a holiday away
a proper longish one
need to get away from electromagnetic pollution
need to get somewhere nice n quiet
sydney will be starting up properly as of tomorrow
and i'm not looking forwards to it
so there ya go
australia day
calloo callay
bah humbug
hip hip hooray
for i'm a jolly good fellow
and nobody can deny

all those little flags really bug me. what are people trying to say?'hey i'm more australian than you!'
i think you and martin kennedy should be commissoned to write a new national anthem.
...so there you go.....i go back to work tomorrow after a long(ish) holiday....sheyit.....
love always...
Your tax is paid off????
That is just fantastic, fantastic news. I'm so pleased for you.
I hope you get that holiday too, re-charge the batteries and then swamp us with more brilliant stuff. 2009 was a fantastic year for killer fans.
Grab a tent and bugger off somewhere remote with the kids. Cheap as chips olde beane.

Lovely bloggie Mr K, and definitely one in the eye for your hecklers. Good on ya! Great to hear so many positive things are happening, besides smiling is better for the aging process than frowning.
Picnic sounded fun and certain a little bit of much needed R & R. Veggie schnitzels eh? Yummy, personally I like the Karrotten or Kraut mit zwiebeln (which is carrot or cabbage with onion for those who do not know). I just wished it was within my powers to ship you off somewhere tranquil for a while for you to recharge your batteries properly. I think you need to be exploring India for some reason?? Don’t know why, but I have a feeling you would enjoy.
that hmelnitsky guy has a bit of Klee and Miro about him
wonder what he'd make of your calves
Congrats on getting the tax bill outta the way! Seems like it was only a few months ago that you were struggling to think of ways to deal with it, and now you're sorted
Hey, maybes you can get back on the path to millionaire's row yourself now?!?
totally agree with the Dean
all this chest thumping and flag worship on 26/1 is a pretty recent phenomenon
and in some small, dangerous minds it has much more to do with nurturing an 'us and them' mentality than any real insight into what it means to live in this country
fuck it, it's unaustralian to bignote about being australian
I didn't know that "lamb" was the culinary dish for A-day...but then i don't take notice of all the fanfare surrounding what's usually the sweatiest, most pig-awful day of the year!
Today's the day it's best to stay away from all the flagwaving, beer-swilling hooha, methinks!
I know what you mean about the Aussie identity dilemma sk. Even though I was born'n'raised here in Oz, I'll always be called a Greek and never feel 100% connected to the Aussie or Greek culture which can be frustrating.
Hope your busyness business includes lots of new music and maybe a gig or 2 in the near future! Have a beaut day:))
Love on ya,
Amanda
“i feel guilty about my short post yesterday
so i up early making amends”
:-) Ahhhh, we love you too.
“review in popmatters
where we one of best records of 2009”
Cooly awesome! I knew it was all along.
“My tax is paid off!”
Holy Smoley! Woo hoo!! That must be a load off yer mind.
“i have projects bursting at the seams”
Really? Yeah? Then thrill me baby! ;-)
“a friend of mine rigged this little program
which monitors my comments”
Ah, you sly beast. :->
“tibor 2 is behaving himself like a good beast”
So glad he wasn’t a lemon.
“i dont need a lot to make me happy
but last night we had a picnic by the sea n it made me happy”
As it should.
“perhaps i am spreading myself too thin”
I think so.
“but it seems theres an endless stream of stuff ready to
bubble forth”
In Steve Kilbey there probably is but you need not feel that you have to write us a shiny new momentous blog with each and every day. What do you think you are? some kind of god? ;-)
“i need a holiday away
a proper longish one”
...why not take one?
Your adoring fans will be here when you return and so will I.
Hahaha xoxo
"except ricky miami and martin krall who are the 2 guys
with whom i can actually be myself"
Damn, you're a lucky bastard! While I have some good friends, I don't think there is a single person in my life I can say that about, let alone two of them. Maybe we just have a different understanding of what "can be myself" means.
Your detractors will always find something to bitch about. It's their MO. But I'm pretty sure most of the rest of us are thrilled for you. (And of course we figure good things will soon be coming our way, so that's another reasons to be pleased.)
I'm glad to hear the tax man is off your back.
two nationalities seems rich, don't complain man.
taday's blog seems more like it.... more like you.
anonymouse in seattle
Hi Steve, glad things are going ok for you. Quiet times up here today of course. It was nice to see a group of Muslim girls enjoying the right to swim in their new lycra suits. I have noticed Australian men in the 25-40 age group seemed to have morphed into an identical look, ie, heavy set with growing beer belly swelling over low slug boardies, ubiquitous arm band tatt and stubby in hand.
I was thinking today that some of our convict era corporal punishments could be well applied to certain scumbags elements in the community eg. a group that last week went on a spray-painting rampage in the local graveyard. The depths of depravity.
Oh the lovely cool change has come. Linda x
steve,
so glad you finally got the taxman off yer back!
just off to see a few doodlings by van gogh 'n rembrandt....
kinda thinking you'd get a buzz outta that too.
clogs 'n cheese every feckin'where...
Have been on an all too brief south coast sojourn and find it devasting to be back in Sydney facing reality again. Give me the dreamy dawn, the prickly pink sea urchins washed up on the bright white sand and the quiet tweet of willy wagtails... Sigh....I hope a retreat of sorts comes your way Steve. I will forever crave the quiet.
Shove a lamb chop up the fundament of the detractors!
.....can't believe that barry's still at it....woof woof! get a life, mate......
I have to admit that "Barbeque for Australia" Ad. really incensed me. Thousands of advertising $ from the good ole Oz Govs' never-ending "Stimulus package' & that's the best they can come up with......WTF? It's a crazy world. Poor little lambs...
LOL Mr K, hope that Gold elixir is working out OK (Gold Afternoon Fix?)
happy australia day Steve & family! i had a lovely veg picnic by the beach & a swim in the sea...today the island was a paradise... lolz! hope yours was just as enjoyable!
great news about ya tax being paid off & can't wait to hear/see the new projects!
:)

Hotel Womb!!!!!!!!!

Come to NZ Mr... bring the team!
and BTW ya can be ya silly self with me and Shanks...:)
We can work out the Art thing...
MD
awesome bot the taxi biz and projects...
Heard Under the Milky Way played on the radio today....it always makes me think about my space here in Oz. That's probably about as "Australian" as I get!
that is great news about your taxes!! i'm sure you are very relieved. :)
looked up white powder of gold - hhmmmm - to be frank with you steve, it sounds like it might just be bollocks - its probably made in someones shed out of chopped up tinfoil. sorry its so hot over there. its bloody freezing here, i'm envying you your cold showers and swimming in the sea :)
Thanks for vehemently having compassion for lambs SK. They are docile and precious creatures that are UNPARDONABLY mistreated, eaten and killed by ungodly human carnivores that have infinitely fallen from Eden.
"a friend of mine rigged this little program
which monitors my comments

Finally. 2005 to 2010 was too long to fend off rude remarks. Didn't that make you tired?
hey, congrats on getting that tax business outta the way!! must be a huge relief to have them off yer back.
good news the health of tibor2.
and ewe-ge gnus about all the projects in the works. 2010 is set to be a great year for all crunch fiendss :)
Big hugs from your Greek-Mexican fiend.
It's not Greek or Mexican Day.
Wait a minute, everyday is Mexican Day - porque si!
Ahhh, Happy Australia Day! Currently listening to Heyday (totally hooked on this album!)
I just downloaded a gorgeous photo of Lord Howe Island on my desktop. Absolutely stunning.
I'm sure today's post will have your detractors gnashing their teeth, but please go easy on the lamb eaters, ok?? (I am not one.)
Go gettem killer!
v
(for victory)
And there I was, considering buying you your white mansion
You're funny. Glad that tax thing is gone.
Your words are
gifts on the heart
I've been lurking around
these parts for years
centuries, maybe
And your like home
to my very fiber
I've checked out SKs Mypsace
Oh the Karmic Hits Keep on coming
The Church Official Space In Time
But There is nothing like reading
from the pen/keyboard of a being
that lifts my soul
and encourages a thread
A non-linear paassage
that inspires
Thank you from my heart Steve
