This is my last week of work. Yay! The job isn't all bad, don't get my wrong, but I don't really enjoy sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day. It's not really me. I'm really looking forward to having more time! It'll be a real relief to have more time again. Thursday is my last day. I'm going to get back into writing music, going to the gym, and catching up with friends. Can't wait!

I bought Angus & Julia Stone's album "A book like this" last week. I can highly recommend this album to everyone! It's cruisy, beautiful, melodic, easy to listen to, interesting and thought provoking. Great lyrics too. I haven't stopped listening to it since I got it. I particularly like the song "hollywood". It's a great song about unrealistic expectations that hollywood give people. It really sets us up to fail, because life is not a fairy tale. That's not to say that life is all doom and gloom, but that sometimes people don't always have happy endings. Here are the lyrics:
I blame you hollywood, for showing me things you never should
a young girl, in this cruel world
Coz life's not a happy ending, I'm sure there's some like johnny and june
And maybe other people too
They all would have been killed in the sound of music
La da da la da da
They would have found out that Pinocchio could never tell the truth
She wouldn't make it to shore, the little mermaid
He would have married a whore from a wealthy family
After all, he was royalty
CInderella would of scrubbed those floors til her hands grew old and tired
Nobody would look her way
It's just the way it goes today
I blame you hollywood, for showing me things you never should
a young girl, in this cruel world
Coz life's not a happy ending, I'm sure there's some like johnny and june
And maybe other people too
Like me and you

Save "GET THIS"!
It's Tony Martin, Ed Kavalee & Richard Marsland, 2-4pm weekdays on Triple M.
Sign the petition here!
Here is an atricle about the axing:
TONY Martin's nationally networked radio show has been axed, despite being one of the top rating programs on struggling station Triple M.
The comedian's Get This program has been a successful annoyance for the Austereo network, which shifted its timeslot three times in just over 18 months.
In a pattern repeated across the country, figures jumped from about 5 per cent audience share to about 11 per cent during the two-hour program, when it aired from 11am. They fell back to near 6 per cent when the station returned to music.
Triple M programmer Shaun Gough yesterday said the show was axed to focus company attention and resources on new breakfast shows debuting across the country. In Melbourne, Peter Helliar and Myf Warhurst are replacing The Cage, the fifth most-popular breakfast show.
Money was not the main issue for the show, he added, which soaks up production and editing time.
The Age understands Martin's company, International Skylarking, employs everyone involved with the show and the programming director has no control over this.
"They have a 'no air check' policy on that show," a source said, referring to the typical post-show process where the program director critiques the show.
Martin powered the Austereo network in the late 1990s. With Mick Molloy, the Martin/Molloy drive program had millions of listeners. Martin had tussles with management over the amount of music he played.
The final show is scheduled for November 23.

Well, time for the review! I know I've been slack and should have done it a week ago, but I've become addicted to facebook... not good... such an incredible time waster!
What can I say other than WOW!!! Josh Gorban & Katie Noonan blew me away! My 2 favourite singers in the whole world at the same concert! Can it get any better?!
If you haven't seen Katie Noonan sing, you have got to hear her! It's an experience that will blow you away! She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard! If I could have anyone's vocal chords, I'd choose hers!
Now to Josh! Wow! I cannot get enough of this man! He has great charisma, he's seriously hot and just seems like the nicest guy! And that voice... *sigh* That was one of, if not the best concert of my life! He was brilliant! He played for ages, did almost all of my favourite songs and did 2 encores! Everyone just loved him!
More to come! Including videos!
