This is a really interesting song.

Welcome to the Welcome Wagon tops my favourites for music at the moment. The Sufjan sound with a twist. And it’s all rather humorous while being quite poignant. Marvellous.
It is raining, weather for wearing socks, drinking Earl Grey tea and listening to old-school EP’s 92-94 of David Gray.
It’s been showing in Melbourne for months and quite out of the blue Geoff bought us tickets.
So, that’s where we were this afternoon, at a matinee session of Wicked. It was a truly spectacular musical and although I’m perhaps not as well versed as I’d like to be in theatre experience, to say it was, “Very good” would be an understatement.
I am still in awe of the phenomenal costumes and set. And the fact that we had the understudy lead role – makes me wonder quite how they found someone better. Neither did we see Anthony Callea (who really cares).
It was nice to have an old story go bust at the seams and it didn’t ruin the Wizard of Oz in the slightest, infact I dare say it enhanced any childhood experience of the kind, including my grade 2 debut as a munchkin.
Well worth the money, even that spent on the flashing martini glass…
Apologies to inflict yet another video on you, but last night Geoff, Laura, Tim S and I had the pleasure of seeing CW Stoneking. He currently sings… erm, callipso jazz and it certainly doesn’t sound like it should be coming out of this white aussie guy – although I can’t say he’s a typical specimen (Doesn’t that word make you cringe?). It was quite amazing. The crowd at Rubys was vastly colourful in age and in style.
The age have an article on him
Prior to Stoneking, was this guy, Brownbird Rudy Relic, whom when we saw listed on the blackboard outside- first thought was two bands, then one… and turned out to be this one guy. One that made up for about twenty. As someone described it – it was like Elvis on a chair. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone perform quite like it. I’ve also never seen anyone open their mouth quite that wide, or drink so much water in such a short time.
An excellent and very different night out.
