5/ 4 seasons in one hour. Was smugly noting a young woman in a t-shirt getting rained on while I had my North Face jacket on. By the end of the street it was sunny and I was sweating

4/survived driving across Melbourne. It’s BIG in a different way to the Sydney sprawl. Flat and laid out on a grid pattern with seemingly a pub on every corner

3/ People here seem to engage/interact more and suss you out, whereas in Sydney I just feel invisible

2/ Melbourne is New York to Sydney’s LA. People dress neater or grungier instead of the beach/gym/eastern suburbs-had-some-work-done look

Saw it at Leeds Uni, my first gig. They recorded the gig and put it out as a kind of Stiff bootleg, so I’m on vinyl yelling Be Stiff into the microphone they waved around the front row during the ensemble encore
