Hi Guys,
We’ve had a great response to our iLuv headphones competition and received a significant increase in page views and listens to our little podcast so cheers, we owe you a beer.
We’re going to announce the winner on our next podcast which we will be recording next week so there’s still time to get in on the action! Get started by downloading episode 30 (iTunes) for details.
Good luck and thanks again!

This post was originally going to be a rant but I think it shall be more of a community service announcement.
While I was perusing mininova I noticed something a little strange. A number of torrents tagged as an axxo release were all of the same size 722.52MB.
Not only were these releases of the same size they were also DVD rips of movies that have just come out in the cinemas in the US.
It was pretty clear that something was a little suss and from a quick search it was found that these torrents were fake and planted by the MPAA in a bid to collate the IP addresses of pirates (argh!)
To avoid getting stung and having your IP added to an Excel spreadsheet somewhere here a few tips:
Better late then never I guess but we’ve started a HundredPennies footy tipping competition and we want you to join!
The good music announcements just keep coming.
Dropkick Murphy’s are heading back to Australia and will be playing at The Forum in Melbourne on May 29th. Support will also be offered by punk hardcore band Sick Of It all. Tickets go on sale through ticketek for $54 at 9 o’clock on Friday February the 8th. The Dropkicks won my vote for the 2007 gig of the year so make sure you don’t miss out.
It’s also been announced that fellow Irish American punkers Flogging Molly will be coming out to support their new album Float (released on March 1st) They will be playing in Melbourne at The Corner Hotel on Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of April. Tickets go on sale for $50 on February the 6th and you can pick them up here.
I also saw these guys last year and they put on one helluva music gig full of jigging goodness.
2008 is really looking to be a great year for music.
Merry Christmas to all the hundredpennies crew and loyal listeners that have tuned into the podcast and read our posts.
Hope you have a great day and hopefully you don’t receive too many dodgy presents.
I’ll be in Adelaide till the 30th, but i’ll t ry and sneak in some posts while i’m on the road.
Cheers and all the best!
Just read stu’s twitter post that says “I think I just got engaged”.
I can’t believe it’s taken you this long to bite the bullet but if it’s true congratulations to you and Jaq’s and all the best for the future!
Just a quick shout out to my old man who’s celebrating his birthday today.
Happy Birthday Dad!
Hi all,
As there’s a lot going on this week I thought I would write a little wrap up of some events coming our way.
Starting off on a reminder that the Bodyjar gig is coming up this Friday @ Rubies. If you’ve read my previous post (clicky) then you’ll know that Blueline Medic will also be supporting the jar so this is looking to be one hell of a night. For the pennies crew that are interested in going please leave a comment or send me a message to let me know as i’ll picking up tickets in the city tomorrow. Its a bargain at only $18 so make sure to get your arse down to Belgrave for Bodyjar’s last Melbourne gig of the year.
On another music related note Operator Please will be playing at the JB HiFi Burke Street Mall store tomorrow @ 4pm. I know this will particularly please Count Knuckles as he recently brought their new album (by the way I’m expecting a great review). I don’t know if The Count can make it but I’ll try and try get there just so I settle once and for all if they really did get rid of their last keyboard player.
Now onto game related news. It seems that quite a few games have had their release date pushed back. First of all Eternal Sonata was pushed back and now it looks like Assassins Creed and Mass Effect are now going to be released a week later than expected on the 21st and the 22nd respectively. Hopefully this isn’t a current trend for the xbox360 as it really pisses me off. Supposedly Assassins Creed was bumped because of manufacturing and freight problems, but the whole things sounds a bit suss. First of all they don’t release a demo and won’t reveal real details on the game and now it’s been delayed. In my opinion this could all just be a cover up for hastily trying to release a game before it’s been properly finished. Anyway time will tell, but if you’re interested you can check it out in action at the eGames expo on this weekend (clicky).
On a brighter gaming note it looks like that part the fall Summer (oops i’m not fucking America) dashboard update will soon allow people to download and play the original xbox titles on their 360. This sounds like it could be a cheap way of catching up on some classic games that you might have missed out as they are said to be priced at only 1200 gamer points. Some of the first titles being released include the grandfather of hype Halo, Burnout 3 and Crash Bandicoot. It also sounds like this dashboard update could be the best one yet as it will supposedly allow the potential to play DivX vids which should finally cement it’s position as a ‘real’ media player. Hooray people can finally throw out their modded xbox’s.
On a final note I’ll leave you with some world news. Before you think oh no he’s going to go all political and talk about the middle east, it’s actually about South Korea. Their commerce industry has announced that they will try build two robot theme parks for $1.6 billion by 2013. Awesome Assemo’s for everyone! I just hope it doesn’t turn out like Itchy and Scratchy land and they all go nuts and start killing everyone.
Coming on the heel of all these great music announcements I have one of my own to make.
Bodyjar are playing another gig at the Rubies lounge in Belgrave on Friday 16th November.
While I’ve already seen these boys play at rubies this year I just can’t pass up the opportunity to see them again. If you’re interested let me know so we can get the crew together and hit the hills.
*Update: I just read that Bodyjar have a new album in the works so here’s hoping that they play some new stuff at the show. It’s also been announced that Blueline Medic will be supported Bodyjar in their one and only Melbourne show this year. Now I’m really excited this is going to be one sweet gig so make sure to get your arse down to Belgrave for a great night of music.
