JTV
Triple J will launch their own TV show JTV on ABC this Friday night at 11:10pm and will kick off tomorrow online and at various times on ABC2. It’s great to finally see them get off the ground with this project (which I believe had been on the drawing cards for sometime). What to expect:
Imagine all the best bits you hear on triple j in pretty-moving-pictures glory! Expect to see plenty of music, comedy, interviews, Hack stories, and a fly-on-the wall look at what it’s like in the studios and offices of triple j. There’ll be stacks of great material packed into many jtv timeslots across the week.
JTV live is what I’m really looking forward to on Saturday nights just before RAGE. They’ve already filmed a number of gigs for this (just recorded the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and they did broadcast a Wolfmother gig earlier in the year, which went down well with fans. They also have in store ‘JTV docs’ - broadcasting stories captured from young, independent Australian filmmakers. This is great news and I’m sure there’ll be plenty of quality content on display.
And don’t forget to check out the ‘Closet recordings of Alan Jones’ Triple J have now posted online. These are truely comic gold recorded when Jones was at Sydney radio station 2UE in the early 1990s. Anonymously provided to the ABC back in the late 90’s and now revived for your listening pleasure.
Melbourne Photo Ban
This is beyond ridiculous. I particularly love the quote:
“We’ve had a couple of incidents of tourists taking photos of obscure things, and they were approached by security and asked to stop taking photos.”. “It was just the facades of buildings, things that would be of no interest to put in a photo album.”
It’s called ‘Architecture’ fucktards and some us appreciate it enough to take a photograph! But seriously, how difficult would it be for a terrorist to use a freakin camera phone, which are far more common and with enough resolution nowadays to take a perfectly clear picture. This pisses me off just as much as banning cameras at beaches.
If you really want to do something useful for society, please photograph these culprits and let’s minimise the ‘collar up’ effect.

Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

Copy and paste. Flash in Safari? Yes please. They also need a pleasefixtheipodtouch.com because it should be able to take photos & use GPS like the iPhone. Via Pleasefixtheiphone

Wall-E
Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!
