I was personally branding myself/reading an article in Vice magazine the other day about obese Asian gentlemen who buy large pillows of popular hentai characters. This upset me greatly, so I put the magazine down and made a delicious ham sammich instead. If I was going to marry a cushion or other soft derivative thereof, it would probably be one of these cute moog felt plushies. At least I wouldn't look so weird hugging it on the couch.

I've worked so incredibly hard this week on my architectural ventures that this Seja and Otouto gig was the one thing I had been looking forward to all week - yesterday was a good day. Greeting us with big smiles before launching into "Silver in my Eye", it was apparent Seja was happy to see us like we were to see her. There were plenty of big smiley faces across the room making the Sandringham Hotel one pretty happy place made so [...]
While we already knew all about the big name acts*, the (HUGE!) official announcement for this year's Spendour In The Grass (possibly prematurely released by a web bot over at Triple J earlier tonight ), still contains plenty of pleasant surprises.

Thankfully Seja is will be showcasing this wonderful release and has teamed up with up-and-comers Otouto this April to do so. I cannot be more excited. 16 Apr Metro, Adelaide 17 Apr Northcote Social Club, Melbourne 22 Apr The Troubadour, Brisbane 23 Apr Sandringham Hotel, Sydney [...]
I don't much about Seja : she's from Brisbane, she's been in other bands (Regurgitator; Sekiden), and her first solo record, We Have Secrets But Nobody Cares , was just released in Australia on Rice Is Nice . The only other thing I know is that I am really, really enjoying her first single, I'll Get To You. Shimmery synthpop perfection. Download Seja - I'll Get To You
My head has been in a million places this week and I can tell you that the only thing keeping me grounded is Seja 's upcoming debut, We Have Secrets But Nobody Cares . Seja Vogel is her name and she is the one-woman band behind this ridiculously delightful record.
