tuesday warner’s SYMONDS ST OMNIBUS

Much like Jens Lekman, I’ve been holed up inside with suspected swine freakout for a week or so now. Pretty perfect time of the year to live the quarantined life, really, it’s been raining hard out and everyone knows that sounds better through the roof above your bed than dripping on you through the bus shelter. Just been marking exams in bed and slowly getting through the pile of hell knows how many books I’ve bought this year - there was even a second-hand book sale downstairs from my house last Sunday, the day before the quarantine began! It was in a shop that usually sells hippie stuff for businesses (?!) , profits going to the Greens, awesome little thing all round. I’d tell you what I got but I got, like, 20 books and you probably don’t care anyway. One of them was a flower dictionary tho! If you need to know the meaning of any flowers, look no further. Cardamine = “paternal error”. Leaves (dead) = melancholy. Yep.

Suffice to say the worst thing about quarantine week was that I couldn’t do my radio show! Never fear, Damian took up the slack and put on a fine show. He even played the Siddeleys in what must have been a WWTWD? moment. He also played a lot of other sweet stuff, but I’ll leave it to him to describe/write up. In the meantime, awaiting his playlist, here’s the podcast of this week’s show.

If you’re keeping your suss symptoms to yrself all locked up in your room on your lonesome right now too, you should play Pandemic II. Or, better yet, Grow Island! - it employs the same ‘hmm what order do I put shit in’ strategising for far more benevolent means: apparently it’s a game for kids in Japan to work out whether they’d like to be engineers one day or not. I spent far more time than I could ever explain this week playing a game called ‘ultra balloon’ on game-oldies.com. It’s a Bubble Bobble rip-off with a potbellied blue penguin that can freeze its enemies (lifted from snow bros.) by farting on them, and if you do fast enough in each level a giant bucket of fried chicken, shiny and realistic as only a 1996 arcade graphic could be, falls down to reward you. yeah.

stay as well as you can this winter! failing that, play some games, listen to lots of fleet and eat lots of fruit, should fix you right! if you’re asthmatic you get steroids which are also an interesting time to be had. i keep…erm… bellowing.

thank you damian, thank you!

xox tuesday warner.

hi! this is my first post here, last time i had any sort of chunky sized online presence it was a geocities rant and a teenage livejournal so i hope this blog thing works after all. with built in podcast, even. fancy! i’m here to tell you about my day yesterday, which had a built-in radio show. action packed day, supervised an exam, went to the op shop under the church and scored a corduroy-lined jewelery box and some denim overalls (prob. maternity lol), met up w my sister, just beat the lunchtime corporate megaqueue at the sushi place and made it to the station just in time to actually be let in by someone on their way out. sweet. upon entering the station, this happened.

sad to discover that the podcast somehow grabbed the end of history (say, quarter to three pm?) and dumped it at the start of the file, so there’s some stuff i didn’t even play included on the file and you miss the start of the show! which means you miss the fun boy three! amongst other stuff! oh god damn you miss margaret urlich too i think. i was quite proud of this week’s result. ah well, nothing like listening right then and there, eh? i’ve known the internet most of my life and it’s still a flaky weirdo.

anyway, here’s what was served up this week, listed roughly in the order that the robots decided to rehash it in: essential logic - electrelane - the sundays - weird shit with the order of stuff on the podcast, like it’s MESSING WITH TIME - blonde redhead? i didn’t play - architecture in helsinki from the computer when the podcast was meant to have stopped recording - “dramatic, abrupt ending…” - just one (and the LOSING) half of aislers set 7″ battle - fever ray  -the 6ths - annoying sound hiccups - v.u. - serge g. and jane b. - larytta - o.t.t. - strawberry switchblade - the gladeyes - stereo total - estelle&kanye - the go-betweens - my teenage stride - wilberforces - starfucker - strokes - vivian girls - look blue go purple - lots of me forgetting what i was gonna say and then saying ‘enjoy’ - blumfeld - BLUMFELD! - oops the mic’s on - gentle waves - the blow - frase and bri star in the SECOND HAND LATHECUT FAILURE SHOW - and we come full circle with essential logic, from the very same moment in time as at the start of this podcast. metaphysic dilemma.

stay warm! hide a hot water bottle up your shirt! have a cup of tea! stay sane! stay beautiful! ace your exams! bye!

xoxo tuesday warner.
