It’s finally here, I remember telling Seph a month and a half ago “I’m going to make an album”, and now to suddenly have 12 songs in front of me is pretty damn cool.
So how much is it? Pfft who cares. I’ve put it up here available to download. Now here comes the part where I say… I couldn’t have done it without:
Damo from DX Interactive, that guy knows his shit and helped me with alot of stuff behind the scenes.
Korey Fernando, he has a great voice, get him to read you a bedtime story.
Ben Morling, he plays guitar like someone who has had lessons. Oh wait, he has had lessons.
Spencer Skey, he provided alot of inspiration for some songs on the album, he knows which ones.
Michael Stocks, well he taught me the violin, so I have to put him here otherwise he’ll have a cry.
Phillip, Sam and Mathew Rainbird, for having to put up with various phone calls, emails and continuous pushing for critique that was usually abuse because they would rather have been doing something else.
Luke Saxby, for sending me messages with lyrics from my songs. Yeah hardcore!
Chris Murphy, the dude lent me a bass.
and some things I could have done WITHOUT:
The guy who lives next door to my room. Dude, stop playing Eminem, snoop dogg or whatever it is.
My computer, enjoying crashing all the time. For example blowing up halfway through creating the album cover.
Having a chest infection and being forced in bed for about a week. Although it turned out ok as I had a totally different perspective on my songs.
Ok so that’s about it. I hope you enjoy listening to it. I really should get on with some university work now (and more Master Giraffe posts!). Although one of my projects does involve making a short film - and yes that will involve The Slinky Cat!
Ok so here is the final tracklisting:
1. This Is Bigger Than Carnavoce
2. My Pet Dog Eats Custard For Breakfast
3. The Romanian Train Robbery
4. There’s More To Life
5. Futuristic Pirate Robot
6. Pirate Robot Recharge
7. Round and Round
8. The Attack of the Goosen
9. Oh No He Didn’t (Oh Yes He Did!)
10. The Goochinator Spooky Cut (Ed Friedland)
11. The Fernando Torres Intermission Featuring Mr. Fernando
12. Sailing Into Venice With A Giraffe
… right?
The teaser trailer for Fox’s upcoming adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s epic manga Dragon Ball will debut in movie theaters on the 17th of October, attached to the film adaptation of Max Payne. There’s no word whether the trailer will debut earlier on the internet or not.
To be honest, I’m not really looking forward to it, but hey, I’ve been proven wrong before.
Spencer Skey has struck Master Giraffe again. This time by arriving at a party with a ‘futuristic robot pirate’ costume. It was so good, that we here at MG just had to write a song about it, with some help from Roboman (DX Interactive).
Who knew Robert Neville and Kevin McAllister had so much in common?
Mitchell Goosen!
Let’s face it, everybody wants to be Mitchell Goosen, a surfer boy from California who moves to a town full of snow and becomes an outkast. But luckily he has his rollerblades and ends up getting himself out of all sorts of trouble.
The film we’re talking about is ‘Airborne’, released in 1993. It stars Shane McDermott as ‘Goosen’ with Seth Green and Jack Black also appearing in this terrible 90s skating film. Seth Green and Jack Black have gone onto make quite steady careers, whilst Shane McDermott’s acting career was ruined in this film as he became a surfer pin-up boy image and couldn’t hack the pressure. He now sells real estate. AWESOME!
Here is a small scene from the movie, a bit of a 90s Skating montage. We all love it.
GOOSEN!
This one’s for you saxby:
Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp.
Sure, it’s called PERSON of the week, but I think special exception needs to be taken this week. The three actors who took over the late Heath Ledger’s role in Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus have opted to donate all their earnings from the film to Ledger’s daughter Matilda.
“This doesn’t happen very often … where there’s a tragedy like this, and very famous, very successful actors suddenly say, ‘OK, we’ll do whatever it takes to help’,” says Terry Gilliam, of the decision which he describes as ‘heroic.’
“They came, they allowed the movie to be finished and they didn’t take money — it goes to Heath’s daughter. That’s extraordinary and wonderful … and we’ve got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help.”
This only goes to show the amount of respect and admiration these men had for Ledger’s work, and it’s great to see such selflessness.
It’s true. The Dark Knight has surpassed Star Wars as the second highest grossing film of all time (incidentally making it the most successful comic book adaptation EVER). Time will tell if it can sink the Titanic.
