Apparently, they thought our back catalogue of metal and screamo means we’d be great for baby music.
Cripes.
Dear Sir or Madam
I have visited your website and have noticed you could be the perfect
distributor or reseller of our special music for babies.
Lovely Baby Music is the leading most awarded original music series

Random Review

Posted in Random Shite on Wednesday, September 12th, 2007 by lansirlot | No Comments »

Whilst I am currently reading a massive novel for a future review, here’s a quickie.
The Mudbomb Radio Show, hosted by JD and Tory, is simply put the best and worst toilet humour show I’ve ever heard.
If you love politically incorrect fun, try a dose of this shit. Each show these guys select random, crazy events […]

Chris is A Big Loser

Posted in The Daily Choof on Friday, April 27th, 2007 by Captain Choof | 5 Comments »

We recently witnessed the finale of one of the circus that is The Biggest Loser. It is here we must find what the real reason behind the show is. Are we witnessing the capitalist exploiters actually giving us a way to break free from their fast food consumerism and become free-thinking people for godsake?

From Onion News …
GWYNEDD, WALES—Calling it the planet’s last, best hope for saving rock music, the Guardians of the Protectorate of Rock announced Monday that they would take the extraordinary step of unleashing a never-before-heard Jimmy Page riff, hidden for decades in a mythic, impenetrable vault.

Hey here’s some low-res t-shirt designs I’m making up for all you punk fuckers.

Hungary’s Socialist Government murders unarmed and peaceful Hungarians

Posted in Random Shite on Thursday, October 26th, 2006 by Will | 2 Comments »

By Tibor Gede
Monday 23 October 1956, marked the 50 year anniversary of the Hungarian uprising against communism and in 2006 demonstrated a near repeat of the bloody oppressive communist violence. At least 4 hungarians have been murdered at the hands of riot police and over 160 injured. After a peaceful day of celebrations which saw […]

Work Experience Bitch

Posted in Editors Column on Wednesday, September 20th, 2006 by Will | No Comments »

Taken from willdayble.com/2006/09/20/work-experience-bitch/
So, quite a few months ago I had a year 10 girl do some work here for Pith Records, sorting out our promo list, checking details and data entry and such. I figured that as a responsible indie record label manager I shoud fulfil the over-critical jaded music cynic role, and blast her […]

Eulogy to Steve Irwin

Posted in The Daily Choof on Wednesday, September 20th, 2006 by Captain Choof | 10 Comments »

Here is an eulogy to Steve Irwin
Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, is a fucking dickhead. He is a great embarassment to the entire nation, not least because the yanks and redneck Queenslanders like him more than us educated beings do. He is a fucking cock sucking lunatic who annoyed the shit out of everything […]

Mentalfest

Posted in Editors Column on Monday, September 18th, 2006 by Will | No Comments »

Taken from willdayble.com/2006/09/18/mentalfest
Wow, it’s actually happening… this is kinda freaky in a way, because it’s taken years to get it going. Either way, I’m actually excited. Like, physically excited about the impending horror and stress that will undoubtably accompany this foray into print design, mass marketing bullshit, band booking stuff, and… yeah. Nuts.
It’s nearly 3am, […]

‘Single’

Posted in The Daily Choof on Thursday, August 10th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Today I saw this sheila from school who went overseas to go in this competition to develop a marketing plan for a worldwide cosmetics firm. She then went over to see her relatives in Italy and somehow manage to go to all these parties and stuff… you know that kinda stuff. And here I was, […]

Bean Counter

Posted in The Daily Choof on Wednesday, August 9th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

I have a t-shirt that says “Bean Counter.” I wore it in a class full of accounting students. They didn’t really even laugh or look at it; in fact they didn’t even give a shit. Frankly, these people are way to concerned with themselves to even give a fuck about anybody else. They are too […]

Joe Korp

Posted in The Daily Choof on Friday, August 4th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

When I first knew about the Joe Korp affair, I knew that he was nothing but a normal man who simply cheated on his wife and had her killed. But the release of the Korp diaries and video which was an account of the days leading up to his suicide will make most of us […]

Business Ball

Posted in The Daily Choof on Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Today I was talking about the Business Ball with some fuckers who study business. Anyway, one of them said that he went to a ball with no bar so the waiter brings the drinks around, and the fucker was like “I’m not one of those cultured oldies… all I want to do is get pissed!” […]

Mortal Sins Part 3 of 3: Wanking

Posted in The Daily Choof on Tuesday, August 1st, 2006 by Captain Choof | 1 Comment »

Today we go onto the third sin which is wanking. Nah fuck that let’s do interest rates and how there is this secret body known as the Reserve Bank of Australia which is responsible for them. Now the RBA doesn’t actually raise intrest rates (how could they, this is an economic system where prices are […]

Mortal Sins Part 2 of 3: Smoking

Posted in The Daily Choof on Wednesday, July 26th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Now let me qualify a statement I made last time: That for the next three days I’ll be talking about whatever it was… whoever… whenever… whatever…. I don’t know anything else about what I said, I forgot, and I can’t be bothered scrolling up. But the point is a ‘day’ for me seems to be […]

Mortal Sins Part 1 of 3: Punting

Posted in The Daily Choof on Wednesday, July 26th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Over the next three days I will be publishing a three-part series on the mortal sins: punting, wanking and smoking. I am focussing on these sins rather than other ones (such as drinking) because at least one of them form an integral part of a person’s life, although they wouldn’t ever recommend anybody else take […]

Rove

Posted in The Daily Choof on Tuesday, July 25th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

I hope everybody had a good time at whatever for profit commercial music festival they went to over the weekend. I didn’t go a festival mainly because of the sniffer dogs. Personally, I’d rather go to a Flower Expo, and get some flower power in the form of legal smokables into me.
One thing I’ve […]

War, Part 2: Rage Against the Machine

Posted in The Daily Choof on Friday, July 21st, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

And just to continue the saga…
PART II: Rage Against the Machine
When I started Uni (as a full fee paying student, thanks right-wing government) there was a sudden feeling of uselessness. That is why we fast forward to the end of my first year when I started looking for jobs. The jobs I was […]

War, Part 1: Rage Against the Communists

Posted in The Daily Choof on Thursday, July 20th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Well, I have to say that now there is a war going on just what I think about it… it sucks. “Wow” you must be saying, thinking that nowadays if you don’t say anything bad about war before your forty-four you’re a backward conservative who listens to Frank Sinatra. Well, the amazing thing is that […]

Wanking

Posted in The Daily Choof on Tuesday, July 18th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Unlike food, wanking is not a good substitute for sex. Usually it means you’re a depraved loner who has excess fluid and time on their hands. That’s why we all do it, and if you’re over 12 it’s a pretty mundane experience; that applies to my situation anyway. And when I got this caution notice […]

Food

Posted in The Daily Choof on Monday, July 17th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Whether it be having a lamb and yoghurt wrap after the nightly fuck-up in town, or stealing a mate’s parma, I am definitely a fan for food. And honestly it’s better than sex (assuming I know what it’s like in the first place). Food does not judge you by your cover. It does not simply […]

“I Finally Cracked” by Andrew Donnegan

Posted in Random Shite on Saturday, July 15th, 2006 by Will | No Comments »

I am so sick of excuses.
Responsibility is a dead word in modern society. The ideal of representative government was built on the principal that the representatives are held responsible for their actions. Held responsible by the people, held responsible by the press, held responsible by their opponents and held responsible by their consciences. In […]

Gonzo Journalism Part 2

Posted in The Daily Choof on Friday, July 14th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

We did tours of the firms today and first up we went to this place called William Buck, a mid tier on Spring Street with over 200 staff and $35 million of revenue a year. That’s around $150,000 a person ‘charges out’ or earns for the firm in a year. I was surprised when I […]

Gonzo Journalism Part 1

Posted in The Daily Choof on Thursday, July 13th, 2006 by Captain Choof | 1 Comment »

Ok, I missed yesterday’s edition of the Daily Choof. But of course, I did do some promotional work yesterday. You can read my message on The Age’s blog site at http://blogs.theage.com.au/thedailytruth/archives/2006/07/dope.html#comments.
Maybe I forgot to do write it yesterday… maybe a little too psychotic… hell no how can you be too psychotic to write this […]

Today Gough Whitlam Turned 90

Posted in The Daily Choof on Tuesday, July 11th, 2006 by Captain Choof | 2 Comments »

Today Gough Whitlam turned 90. He was a former QC turned lawyer whose best acheivements include being a whinger and appearing on an ad for Leggo’s pasta sauce. Despite what many think of him he is no radical person; according to an Age report he doesn’t like the minor parties. He was not the cause […]

CORPORATE MESSAGE

Posted in The Daily Choof on Monday, July 10th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

I recently purchased a Puma sweater and what was good about it wasn’t the fact all this shit came off on my t-shirt but the removable tag they put on it.
Quoting it:
CORPORATE MESSAGE
So you’re interested in PUMA? Nice move. You’re obviously smart, confident and know what you want in life. Sure you […]

George Costanza

Posted in The Daily Choof on Friday, July 7th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Just a few days ago I had my first gig at the pub with the George Costanza face outside. Apparently it was one of those ‘open nights’ where anybody and I mean anyone able to speak was able to get up and strut their stuff… well after we put up with this absolute dork playing […]

Military Intelligence

Posted in The Daily Choof on Thursday, July 6th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

One day at school I was learning about oxymorons and the most humorous one is ‘military intelligence.’ Maybe if the squares who controlled the forces of the English speaking world actually realised that Kim Jong-Il makes Saddam Hussein look like Humphrey B Bear the world would be safer than it is now. And that is […]

Treasurer Peter Costello

Posted in The Daily Choof on Wednesday, July 5th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

The plan by Treasurer Peter Costello to make the states little more than departments of the federal government is a load of crap, imagine if the states were actually abolished and power centralised in Canberra we’d have an all-encompassing megalith government dominated by rugby-loving New South Welshmen. Which brings me to the state of origin […]

The Daily Choof Begins…

Posted in The Daily Choof on Tuesday, July 4th, 2006 by Captain Choof | No Comments »

Today we were in the car and my mum told me that if she ever saw me smoking choof she’d tell my grandpa and uncles and I’d be out of the family (i.e. the Will). So I came up with some things that I wanted to say but couldn’t be bothered… such as ‘the worst […]

Bitter, Angry old Music Cynic

One of my more awesome friends stumbled onto this blog and said “hey, I read it from start to finish and it’s like… you get angrier and angrier each post, well done!”.
Well, I don’t like it, but here’s some more grump - just for you - you nerdy bastard you.
I’m rapidly becoming an […]

Solutions

Posted in Editors Column on Wednesday, May 31st, 2006 by Will | No Comments »

Jesus christ. Now THIS pisses me off. The word. Just the word ’solution’. I work with marketing people on a near daily basis for various parts of my day job, and I can deal with that. People are selling meaningless shit to people who think it’s important, and they can throw around bullshit buzz-words like “solution” and “synergy” like it’s no tomorrow, they’re on the level and they get it’s crap, that’s cool.

The Truth About Health

Posted in Random Shite on Thursday, May 25th, 2006 by Will | No Comments »

Here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies.

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The French eat lots of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. […]

Young Voters Facing Lockout

Posted in Random Shite on Wednesday, May 24th, 2006 by Will | No Comments »

By Malcolm Cole, national political correspondent
AS MANY as 100,000 people will be locked out of polling stations at this year’s federal election, under proposed changes to laws.
And almost 300,000 more face election-day confusion because of Federal Government plans to close the electoral rolls on the day the election is called by Prime Minister […]

Metal and punk scene politics

Posted in Editors Column on Tuesday, May 16th, 2006 by Will | No Comments »

God this pissed me off. This is why I’m thoroughly sick of the ’scene’…
I try to distance myself as far as possible from [music] scene politics as much as possible. Stuff like straightedge - completely awesome in theory, but a little out of line in practice, like communism and institutionalised religion - just shit […]

Think global, act … local?

Posted in Editors Column on Saturday, April 15th, 2006 by Will | No Comments »

Taken from willdayble.com/2006/04/15/think-global-act-local
I completely get the logic behind the phrase, but there’s a massive part of me that keeps screaming “no man, think universal, act global”. It’s what them big ol’ international conglomerates do, why can’t the rest of us?
This Royksopp video has got to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a […]

Terror Laws Target Web Chatter

Posted in Random Shite on Tuesday, September 27th, 2005 by Will | No Comments »

By Nick Butterly and Ian McPhedran
A THROW-away comment posted on a website praising a terrorist attack anywhere in the world could land a person in jail under tough new laws to be debated by State and Federal leaders today.
Australians could also find themselves in breach of Federal law for distributing books or other literature […]

Monkeys Like Porn

Posted in Random Shite on Friday, April 1st, 2005 by davd | No Comments »

Dr. Michael Platt, a neurobiologist at Duke University Medical Center, led an experiment with 12 adult male rhesus macaque monkeys that he says may help explain the fascination with celebrities like socialite Paris Hilton.
Platt conducted the experiment by offering thirsty monkeys a choice: their favorite drink, in this case Juicy Juice cherry juice, or […]

Howard to ban gay marriages

Prime Minister John Howard will introduce changes to the Marriage Act to exclude gay couples and ban same-sex couples from adopting children from overseas, Mr Howard said today.
