I have never really got into Australian Idol. I like some of the music, but until now even with all the people saying “I play guitar! I am singer songwriter! I am musician! I am not just karaoke star!” I haven’t believed a word of it … until Bobby Flynn stepped on the scene.

I love him, I think he is amazing. I hope he doesn’t win cause then he will be forced to realise some second rate album recorded in a night – he is too good for that. Come second and make it bigger like Anthony Callea and Shannon Noll.

Here is his rendition of Superfreak. It is amazing.

I got to say, that I didn’t really get into Jet’s first album. I thought it was sort of cool, but I think at the time I was so in love with The Strokes that Jet was the second best thing. Joe at my work got this CD to review so I swiped it off him. It is with much pleasure to say that this album is too much fun for its own good. I feel so rock and roll when I listen to it – can’t get enough of it.

Check out the cover too – they look so damn cool! Apart from the single Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, the songs that I love the most are Holiday and Stand Up. Check it out if you can. Maybe I love it more cause it was free.

On new years eve last year we got some sparklers and had some fun outside. As we got going I remembered seeing some people do cool things with photos and sparklers so I got the camera and my Dad took these shots of us. give the images a click to check them out properly:

First we started with simple initials for Laura Hanna & Paul Hanna.

Then we moved into names … this wored well on Tahl, but … not so well on Jasper – that one looks like aasper unfortunately.

The squiggly line at the end of ‘Tahl’ is little Jasper going mental with his sparkler. I think it adds a nice touch!

I got given this badge the other day – it is to advertise this new movie little miss sunshine. I thought it was cool and chucked it on my bag straight away.

Our manager and friend Katie Brown took some amazing shots of our band when we played at the supper club at Blackstump. Check these these little beauties out:

Scott rocks the trombone and Steph dances away in the background.

me in one of the only shots, ever, of myself playing that guitar that I like (yeah, even with the double chin!). Next, dan the man on the bass with johnny poking through at the back.

steph gives it a yell and we all have a little fun!
