Merry Christmas Everybody! It feels like only 360something days ago it was christmas! Shit how time passes us all by so fast. I wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy christmas.
A few things have happened to me in the last few days so here comes another patented ‘hornbag dot point post’! I knew you’d all learn to love it… 
– Got an Xbox and now I need to get it modded and slot in a 160+gig HD and welcome the newest addition to my toys, the Xbox media centre. It’s going to be soooooo sweet.
– I’m offically on 2 weeks leave which will be super sweet with lots of drinking and sleeping to be done.
– Talking about drinking I am going to start brewing my own beer called hornbrew starting with a Pale Ale as this is my beer of choice. There will be heaps more on this as things start falling into place…
– The Moonlight Cinema has started again and there are a couple of great movies I would like to see and if I’ve already seen them (ie Garden State) I sure as hell want to see them again! Where else can you get pissed at the movies….? that’s not Belgrave Cameo…. heh heh good times.
– I’m still working on this fucking website… at the moment it truely is a love hate relationship however things should be back to normal real soon and running ever so fine!
– I just watched some fucking Jessica Simpson Christmas Special… it is now official. TV has gone to hell and that God no longer exists because if he did this kind of utter sappy pappy sentimental and slightly retarded in the red headed kinda way crap would not be allowed on TV. Period. I now fucking hate Christmas. Thank you very much Jessica, you have just made it to my ‘list’… welcome aboard bitch.
– Seeing that some of the best bittorrent sites have been shut down by the movie big pigs I have now moved onto newsgroups, it’s pretty damn sweet with great transfers and the such. Side note is that you gotta pay. But hey you get what you pay for so I’m laughing. There is no way in hell that I would go back to Kazaa or the likes so I’m pretty happy at the moment after a small setback. You may be able to stop the source but you can’t stop the people. Dipshits.
– Away From Now are doing a gig with Rise Against late Jan I think at the Hi-Fi which will be one of the best shows of 2005 nuff said.
– The movie of 2005 and will be ‘Bronze God’ the story of a lifeguard with a great tan (Will Ferrell) who realizes his life-long dream of competing in a beach volleyball tournament.
For now I think that’s enough. I’ll start a couple of threads in the forum for the moonlight cinema and couple of other things… for now bitches peace out, be good to your mothers and I’ll check you all on the flip side.

hornbag.net is currently getting a little nip and tuck, and will be back sexy as ever shortly
Hi all it is Stu back again.
Well it is time for the best of 2004.
Best Live show 2004 – Winner – Mad Caddies at the Hi-Fi Bar – This was one hell of a great show it would be hard to get to see a better show then this one they came on stage played all the great songs went off stage after one hour and then came back for a 40 min encore and it really rocked.
Runner Up – Gyroscope at the Evelyn – This was also one great show Hornbag and Hornbagett came along and we all had one great time.
Best CD LP 2004 – Winner – Gyroscope “Sound Shattering Sound” – This was the best CD for me this year the good old Aus band from WA came out with a killer first LP and it is one dam fine CD. If you know me then I am 100% I have played you one of there songs and just to show you how good they are 2 of the songs from the CD are one 1 and 2 in my most played songs in iTunes with 15 plays each.
Runner Up – Green Day “American Idiot” – This is back to great Green day for me after a very disappointing last effort the boys have pulled out a great CD with this one and if you have not given it a go by now don’t be turned off by the single American Idiot it is much better then the title track would suggest.
Best Venue 2004 – Winner – Evelyn – This place was a great new venue for me before this year I had not been to a single show at this place but as this year ends I have seen 4 shows and they were all very good. I went to see Yellocard as they were known back then ( more on this issue latter ) great show then The Real McKenzies at this show I managed to land on top of another mosher all with a beer in my hand that smashed the hand of this dude but we both just got up and went back to having one hell of a good time. Then came Blueline and Pilot to Gunner this was also a great show but more laid back as it went very late. Then it was Gyroscope and well I have told you how good that was.
Runner Up – Corner Hotel – This place is one of the best venues in Melbourne it is just a great place to see a band and I did see some show’s this year a great one was Lagwagon one of the great Punk rock bands from the Fat roster.
Best Rising Talent – Winner – Yes yet again they have won its Gyroscope they are just so great and are the best new band I have found in a long time.
Runner Up – The Used – Now they might not be new but I see them as a Rising talent and after the new CD they unleashed on us all this year “In Love and Death” I feel they are going on to bigger and better things only time will tell.
Ok now to the Crap Awards.
Winner Crap Live Show – Yellowcard – This show would have to be the most disappointing show of 2004 it was just simply lame at great example of how a band can make it big and then not care at all for the fans who made them. I went to see them at the start of the year and it was a really great show so when they came back it was a no brainer I had to see them again Headlining the show and at a bigger venue like the Hi – Fi bar but it was CRAP they were not into the show at all and the crowd were very down and out not a good Mosh at all then they went off stage after like 40min and could not even grace us with an encore so I gave them a verbal spray not nice. I hope they did listen to some of what I yelled at them shame on you YellowCrap shame shame shame.
Winner Carp CD – This one was easy Grinspoon for “Thrills,Kills + Sunday Pills” Well after really getting big after the last LP from the boys in “New Detention” and I mean big they went from playing shows at the HI-Fi bar to selling out Festival Hall this new CD was a big letdown. Now my idea of why this was the case is one the lead singer does not drink now before they play a show and because they made it big and they just decided to try and go with the same format that made them big from the last CD and it was a big big Crap CD. Shame Shame Shame.
Well this is all from me I would like you all to get on and get you own list up in the Forum or post it in the comments section I will put up a new topic for you to put you best off for 2004 so go on get Posting people and if you are new to the site please register and put your comments up.
ratings season is over on tv so the stations no longer give a fuck if we watch or not. hell they don’t even try to get our attention showing shitty b grade movies every second night and force feeding us hopeless americian sitcoms and pappy sappy crap dramas like there’s no tomorrow.
amongst all of this crap there are a few diamonds hidden in there like , that 70s show , las vagas , reruns of the oc , and scrubs. this is where i get a little upset. why the fuck are new episodes of scrubs on after 11pm!? come on! according to jim gets a prime time spot yet scrubs is treated like a bastard redheaded stepchild! scrubs is a quality show and should be getting prime time spots during the ratings season, but no no no if you wanna watch you gotta stay up late.
shit
Hello all it is Stu back with a post from the road.
As you can tell by the heading I am in Sydney and let me tell you the first 2 days I was up this way was Dam hot it was 40 and add to this I am at my Grandma’s place and no airconn or good insulation it was F ing hot people.
So I thought going to Sydney would be a bit of a detox for me as I would not be drinking well that plan did not work I have had a beer everyday and what’s better one night at this great Pub we went to I got a Free Coopers hat like the one Mr. Hornbag has how cool is that? Let me tell you the pub food is just not up to Melbourne standards people like $20 for a Parma and it was not good and it was Thursday dam I got totally ripped off well actually my Dad did I didn’t pay. Another good bit about being on holiday I finally finished the Book I was reading that was all about OJ Simpson and how it was total bullshit he got off and was all about the ice-cream defense good book if you’re interested in it have a chat to Tre Paul.
Now I will be back on Wednesday and so that means I will be in for Parma and Pint this Thursday people. Also latter on I will be putting up the Hornbag Best of Music for 2004 that will be fun for all. Well I must go now my time is over a big shout out to all my friends and my Lady you know who you are I will see you all soon.
alright… after drowning in my own tears hearing that gran turismo 4 is delayed in australia until late march / early june i have just found out that it is delayed all over the globe until the same date! hoorah i don’t feel so bad now! the delay from what i’ve heard is something to do with distribution or what have you. either way i’ve seen the videos and fuck it’s going to be an awesome game! it’s already a classic and even though it probably won’t meet the sales of your nigga loving ‘san andreas’ fans or ‘where’s my war hammer’ fans of halo 2, gran turismo is the real driving simulator and so far not a single game has even gotten close. i wouldn’t even try. gran turismo wins hands down! word on the street is that gt4 will have the following -
– 650+ cars
– 80+ car manufacturers
– 50+ courses
– improved ai , graphics , gameplay and everything else imaginable!
fuck me and call me brian. that is going to be the game of all games!
nuff said.
