steve kilbey down at le casa last night. anything i write will subtract from the experience, you really did have to be there. i was slightly apprehensive due to my personal issues, i have not felt in a good space lately, even somewhat toxic myself, but sitting, listening to that music i was momentarily taken from my circumstance. sk's narratives were incredible, he weaved a complex line in tangents and tributaries but always returned to the source, often with hilarity and his unique intelligence. he spoke with such honesty, held everyone inthralled, the songs were brilliant, it was special, something really really special and i am grateful to have experienced it. 
sk also challenged me on a few things, and i've noticed this about him, he's got a razor blade mind and calls things with incredible clarity and he's always right, that's the trouble with these genius types. i gotta take some notice here, there are very few people i would listen to. 
so steve, thanks very much, i do appreciate you perception especially about tobacco. 
it's interesting to hear that steve was called 'weird' in his jello biafra appearance in the melbourne festival for talking about reincarnation when the question apparently was about i tunes. i think being called weird these days by the zombie masses is actually a great compliment and should be a badge worn with pride.
in another review someone called him 'a crazy favourite uncle' another great compliment. the divide between those who can think outside the box and those trapped inside is getting wider and more aggressive, but the great thing about those outside is they can take a cosmic approach. 


i was sitting next to a lovely lady from adelaide who was drawing all through the performance, she had certain scandinavian way around her, and i was watching her draw in her automatic way, fingers just flowing, pencil fluid across the paper leaving a wonderful array of line and form. i watched her and got a similar energy that i get when i write, it's compulsive, one can't stop, it's like breathing, i enjoyed talking to this strange lady, she was really nice and her art was wonderful.




a okay that's it!
