Sunday mixtape – chooks, gifts from across Bass Strait and music

July 10, 2011 Carly Findlay 7 Comments

As I write this, I am listening to the number one Australian album of all time as voted on Triple J. Odyssey Number Five by Powderfinger. I love this album. It is such a complete album. Listening to it is like being with an old friend.

I took these at their farewell concert last year.

Number two was Frogstomp by Silverchair – I’d have preferred Neon Ballroom.

Seeker Lover Keeper got me through the domesticities of my day.

Seeker Lover Keeper is a band comprising three talented Australian musicians – Sarah Blasko, Holly Throsby and Sally Seltmann. How beautiful is Even though  am a woman?

Woah I
I got a secret
I think I’m in love with missing you
More than I’m in love with you
That’s why I go away all the time
That’s why I travel the world and roam free
There’s a time you leaving me
This is how I feel
I feel like a traveling salesman

Even though I’m a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I’ll be lying if I did not say
I love you more when I’m missing you
That’s why I’m always away
Believe me it’s true

Woah I
I got a secret
I think I was born to be in a state of longing
Born to be wanting wanting
I put in a letter for you
I love the danger in distance
This time I’m leaving you
This is how I feel
I feel like a traveling salesman

Even though I’m a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I’ll be lying if I did not say
I love you more when I’m missing you
It’s why I’m always away
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true

I love the danger in distance
I’d rather be missing you
I love the danger in distance
I’d rather be missing you
I feel like a traveling salesman
Even though I’m a woman
Picking up my bags from the station
Standing there face to face
I’ll be lying if I did not say
I love you more when I’m missing you
It’s why I’m always away

Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true
Believe me it’s true

I met my parents for breakfast this morning. We went to the farmers markets. The ABC news was filming a segment for the carbon tax announcement, getting farmers’ opinions.

I had my usual – poached egg, polenta and salad with relish. So good!

We walked around the poultry show. Lots of ducks,

Chickens

And roosters.

Some birds were so fat. It was the junior finals, and so the pavillion was full of children nursing chickens and putting vaseline on their beaks. Who knew chicken breeding was so big in the city?

My parents got off the boat from Tasmania this morning. They came bearing gifts.


The salmon and cheese diet is the best for my skin.

Elderflower cordial and apple and quince paste.

And a felted brooch from The Spindle Tree. Beautiful.

I have a new iPhone. The camera is great!

I tried it out last night at the Boom Crash Opera concert.

It was ok – but I was a bit bored, and Dale Ryder wasn’t on stage for half of the show – a singer from The Models sang for a lot of it.

I also made a bread and butter pudding using some organic produce. Sourdough fruit rolls from the market, duck eggs, lemon and quince paste. It’s cooking in the oven now.

Blogger is playing up. My scheduled posts are prematurely posting. Hmmmm.

    Dale Ryder wasn't on stage for half of the show? Gee, Boom Crash Opera seem to be just riding the wave of the 80's/90's …

    I love Powder Finger so much, so annoyed I didn't get to see them in the last ever shows. Oh well their tracks will have to do me now and my memories from BDO 2005. I just watched the girls from Seeker Lover Keeper but I can't remember what on now? I would love to see them live too. Looks like a fun trip and who knew BCO were still touring? I do love a good pub band.
