Got properly drunk last night at the ‘A Night At The Pictures’ event, both cause there was a lot of free booze (yay sponsors Stella) and cause the auction event was a raging sucess… almost $3000 was raised from the auctions and $2000 from ticket and drink sales! Looks like Pictures of You is shaping up to have a nice budget indeed.

But yeah, drank a lot and came back to Auckland in the same night. Slept for a bit and suffered a massive hangover for the rest of the day. Actually, I’m still feeling a little under the weather, and spent most of my time finding interesting, wierd stuff on the internet.

Like, crying while eating.

And, Native American faces on Google Earth.

Re-uses of technology… totally cool.

And Ok Go on treadmills… awesomeness.

Huzzah! The new Mountain Goats album, Get Lonely, is finally out so go get your copy and listen to it three dozen times and know the lyrics and the notes and the beats cause there will be a quiz later on and yeah, its worth using up your time for.

The music video to “Woke Up New” is now downloadable in higher res from the director himself here.

Even better, I’ve just found this resource site where they’ve compiled MP3 of the Mountain Goats’ live preformances over the past years. It’s a huge library and my mouth is still drooling at the prospects of listening to so much of Darnielle live. Get shows from as far back as 1994 here.

Celebrate! For the new Mountain Goats album ‘Get Lonely’ will be released next week, but in the meantime, all should check out this new totally awesome music video directed by Rian Johnson, who recently directed the film “Brick” which is one of the many films that played at this years film festival, but missed cause I’m a broke ass student… enjoy!
