Even though I don't have the time to update The Raider these days, it's nice to know that when a pal goes Tuna fishing in the high sees, and ends up snagging himself, there's always somewhere to spread the love.

The Sydney Morning Herald must still be in post Mardi Gras revelry:

But it was Crash, the film drama that tells of racial bigotry and fear during a 36-hour period in Los Angeles, that beat off Brokeback Mountain to win the best picture award.

"Beat off Brokeback Mountain" you've got to be kidding me...

UPDATE: Shortlived but sweet, the post has been edited.

Ms. Highco was kind enough to take this shot of a Crocodile on a spit, served up for folks at the Golden Sheaf Hotel in Double Bay. Now that's true Aussie cuisine!

French, Yes... Gay, Not so Much

I will no longer accept nasty comments regarding how gay my French car is; now that Hot Chip is #15 on the CMJ charts, this Seppo is officially hip hop, yo:

"Driving in my Peugeot / Twenty-inch rims with the chrome, now / Blazing out Yo La Tengo / Drive around Putney with the top down."

I Could Spit on a Stranger

Since Michelle Williams uttered "It's Been Slanted and Enchanted" on Dawson's Creek, indie yuppies have been either annoyed or elated with television's shout outs. Last week's mention of the Arcade Fire on Four Kings didn't seem to sit so well. However, last night's How I Met Your Mother's use of Pavement's Spit on A Stranger got me all choked up. Not final montage of Six Feet Under choked up, but there was definately a tear or two. Good thing they didn't use the Nickel Creek version, it could have led to full waterworks.

Outfoxed!

To paruse any of Rupert Murdoch's media ventures is enough to make a man sick to his stomach any day. Today, for instance, a featured piece on news.com.au reads, "Two US States have Banned Broke Back Mountain." The story, entitled "Way Too Gay", in true Newscorp sensational style, actually references two small theatres who's bigoted owners refused to show the film. Hardly a ban, my friends.... Only in New Zealand do they truly now how to "ban" same sex relationships.

Luckily the site redeemed itself with a potential Pulitzer winning article about a man who got stuck in a washing machine playing hide and go seek with his children.

An embarrassed Mr Toom then decided to change the rules of hide and seek for his children.

"I hope they don't go hiding in any washing machines now," he said.


UPDATE: I stand corrected, there is still some great journalism out there, according to the Sydney Morning Herald people are...

brace yourself...

LIVING ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just left this, and have come back to this. I walked 1 block to the petrol station to buy some lunch, and I almost keeled over. 116 degrees is just too insane.

Happy New Year everyone... I'll be posting Seppo's top 10 album list in the next couple of days.
