Bubblegum powerpop

Greetings. Ahh, what to write about after all this time...I went and saw my famiglia and had lunch with them which was bizarrely nice. Did a survey on chewing gum which was weird, seeing as I've only recently aquired a habit. Strawberry Extra- there is none better. Nice flavor and doesn't tempt you to swallow upon first chew. Anyway, enough about chewing gum, I also managed to get copies of Snatch, The Big Lebowski and the South Park movie- I really can't be arsed to type the title. Three more movies towards the greatest collection on earth. Anyway, while getting these movies form the ever faithful Warringah Mall JB HiFi, I heard this music- it was sort of infectuous, pop-rock kind of thing. Gave me a very Davey Lane feeling of uneasiness and euphoria. Later on it turned out to be Costello Music by the Fratellis that was on. So, if you want a pop-punk-rock album to dance to, buy it because your legs will love it. I reccommend Henrietta, For The Girl and Everybody Knows You Cried Last Night (that sounds like a teenage 'thriller').
Anyway, the Big Lebowski is another to add to the favourites list, along with Kill Me Tender. They are both hilarious and strangely uplifting, except the Big Lebowski has more memorable movie quotes.

Debt Collector: (pulls bowling ball out of bag) What the fuck is this?
The Dude: Well obviously you're not a golfer.

Walter: The Chinaman is not the issue here!!!!!

Walter: You see Larry? This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the arse!!!!

Walter: Don't worry man, he's a pervert.
The Dude: Yeah, but fuck, he can roll man.
Walter: No, I'm serious. He's a sex offender with a record. he did 6 months in Chino for exposing himself to an eight year old. Eight year olds Dude, eight year olds.

I also saw another movie- Waking Ned Devine. A very good Irish movie if you can hunt it down. Ed Gein In the Light of the Moon is a good biopic also- not too much gore but it is a little freaky when he's pulling off in the bathtub and when he wears his lady outfit, so be warned!
