Visited the old Dancing Dog (now Mamma Chen's) in Footscray to see Anouk Ely's album launch, followed by Regurgitator in never before duo mode (with occasional drum machine).

Anouk was fantastic: consumevalve.bandcamp.com/album/hunter...

Flight of the Conchords reunites with Mike Patton taking on the role of Murray
Promo photo of AVTT with Mike Patton. Three men standing against a brown background. Left man is Mike Patton in jeans sneakers and a white shirt and braids (hello fellow kids), middle man is one of the Avett brother I suppose, the tall one. Brown trousers, black shirt and braces. Creepy moustache. Looks like young Jemaine without glasses. Man on the right looks exactly like Bret from Flight of the Conchords, pretty sure it's him, but more likely to be the short Avett bro. Brown pants, white shirt, tie, hands in pockets. On the way to sell insurance, or on the way to to be disappointed in his kids.

Blokees Transformers Galaxy 8 Unicron head almost sits on Super7 prototype Unicron body. That arm just popped off when I picked him up for this photo. Have to find the kragle.
Blokees Transformers Galaxy 8 Unicron buildable model head almost sits on Super7 prototype Unicron body. The head is oversized and looks silly. The body is missing its left arm.

Sludge's eyes do the thing. Are you happy now you weirdos?
Transformers Blokees Galaxy 8 Sludge in both robot mode and dinosaur mode. The dinosaur mode has googly eyes like the movie when he's stepped on. He's being stepped on in the photo by Sky Lynx, who's mouth is open, loling. Robot mode Sludge is gesturing at dinosaur mode sludge with an open palm. In the background is hints of more Dinobots.

These Blokees Transformers figures are very cool. Much as "blind box" stuff angers me such...
Transformers Gnaw in robot mode from Blokees blind box model kit, constructed. He is a robot form of a little shark guy. He has a gun and has his hand out asking for an energon stick.

Fartbook marketplace is hilarious sometimes - Box of CDs, no listing of what they are. You like music, here is some music?
Screenshot from Facebook marketplace of a listing for Box of CDs, $60. The photo is of a box of CDs, but the spines are all facing so you can't read what the CDs are.
