I would like to draw your attention to a great musical group who call themselves Thunderball. The duo of Steve Raskin and Sid Barcelona are signed to ESL Music and have two full-length EP releases.
As quoted on their website:
“Thunderball expertly craft cinematic, dub-laden compositions full of intrigue, effortlessly changing tempos between D&B, breakbeat and downtempo…drawing from their love of ‘60s cinema, Brazilian beats and Afro funk rhythms, to create explosive soundscapes designed for modern spy chases and late night encounters.”
I first heard their music on the soundtrack to The Collective, one of the best MTB films ever produced.
When you get the opportunity, check out both the music and the film.

Today marks 1 year living with mum and dad. Well done to all of us for a pain-free 12 months. Hopfully our house will be ready before we reach the second anniversary.
Speaking of which, we visited the house today and the internal doors have been installed. All the windows have been measured and the architraves have been cut, but only some have been fitted. We need to get the floorboards sorted very soon, because they can’t do any skirting boards until the floor is done.
After seeing a little bit of the 2006 installment of the horrible franchise that is Big Brother, I think this year might be the best one yet in terms of nice looking ladies. It’s just a shame that you have to put up with all the pointless crap that comes out of their tiny little brains.
Well, it’s Sunday night and the wedding is over. The post-wedding BBQ was on today and that’s now finished too. I believe it’s safe to declare the entire weekend as a huge success. The bride was beautiful and her groom scrubbed up pretty well also.
The ceremony was well done and not too long, but the real fun was at the reception. Yummy food, nice wine, rocking music, lots of dancing, wonderful company and an excellent venue all helped to make one very cool party.
As per usual, I went beserk with the camera and ended up with about 700 photos at the end of the night. About 100 were not worth a second look and got deleted immediately, but there were some pretty good ones in the remaining 600 (if I do say so myself!). I have put most of them up in the Gallery (click here to go there now).
Today is the big day for Ben and Leanne. The wedding starts at 2pm, hopfully it isn’t raining. The forcast says 16 degrees and a few showers. Bummer.
Even if it is raining it should be a heaps fun day.
I will post photos very soon.
Our vendor has asked us to find a quote for the floorboards because the one he got though “his guy” was too expensive. We got a quote, and it was cheaper, but I think we’re doing his work for him. Now he wants us to organise to have them installed.
What a load of rubbish. But they will look great I reckon.
