Smoke, beer and journalists
Melbs.org, an “mp3 blog”, written by a bureaucrat, a hack and a grudge-monkey, is seeing its first full 24 hours of public scrutiny today!
Evil Uncle Joe, who keeps this site running, is keeping Melbs running too. With the very same crooked, mad grin on his face.
The launch was last night at the Corner. HPS missed it, like the losers we are. We were lying semi-conscious on our bed as our mobile buzzed spastically on the desk not three feet away. I’m told city city city were playing. I’m stabbing myself.
Melbs is now sprouting reviews of the finest and swinest of Melbourne’s musical progeny. Expect interviews, feature articles and a gig-guide. Melbs also has hyperlinks that look like they’ve been highlighted by hand with an actual physical highlighter! Too much. Visit it often.
Correction: the existence of Melbs.org was merely announced at the Corner last night, at some point before, during or after a Laura gig. Apparently this is a different thing to a launch. Actual launch TBA. Whatever, at least I’m less likely to get dirty looks from the grudge-monkey.

Well, actually the launch is still to come; there was just a few flyers for the site handed out at the Laura gig last night. And the Cities weren’t playing, I can assure ya.
I’m glad you like the highlit links though — I reckon they’re pretty super!
