Friday July 25th
In between the random acts of general tomfoolery (yes its a real word, if you don't believe me check here) today we've been hard at work gearing up for Pinky Beecroft and the White Russian's new album. For those of you who don't know - Pinky Beecroft, from what was Machine Gun Fellatio is due to relase his first solo album on August 23rd. The response so far has been great and i know many people have been eagerly waiting, especially since the band's been doing live shows all over the shop, giving the priveledged few a chance to get a sneak peak.
Now completely randomly, here's a few words from the man himself:
Meanwhile our very own Nate has shown us what i believe to be one of the funniest sites on the web today. For those of you who haven't been to www.failblog.org yet, do it now, you won't regret it! Here's a little taste:
see more pwn and owned pictures
And for one more little rib tickler enjoy...

Happy Weekending,
Will out.

Friday Tunes 18/7/2008
Heaspafriday at Heapsaflash again, it's been a busy week punctuated by upcoming work with Pinky Beecroft of what was Machine Gun Fellatio, Sophie Koh, the Paper Scissors, Skipping Girl Vinegar and of course Bluejuice. i recently found this following video on youtube with Jake and Stav and couldn't stop laughing at the boy's response to Vera's question "Why does no-one take Bluejuice Seriously?"...I think the answer is self evident...
Needless to say we've all heard of The Shins before, but (besides the fact we all love them) as this is a blog on Australian Indie music, i thought it only fitting to include a song called Australia which has, in fact, possibly nothing to do with Australia by an American band. I must admit i wonder why they called it Australia after all. If anyone out there in the blogosphere has any light they can shed on this i'd love to hear it. ( I read they wrote it on tour here but i've yet to see any verification for this claim)
Finally given Paul's noticable absence from the office this afternoon i feel it necessary to reaffirm Heapsaflash's electronic contigency with the following video, just to show you all out there that not only do we support all kinds of music here but we have proper respect for the New Zealand Drum and Bass scene (and dub scene). Hope you dig one of Concord Dawn's chiller tracks - You Don't Have to Run.
Will Out.

Is it Friday Again Already?
So another Friday's rolled around here at Heapsaflash, it's still too cold but not as cold as Melbourne thankfully where Skipping Girl Vinegar has just released their new video clip for "Sift the Noise."
Although their debut album's still pending (due out September 13th!) i can't help but feel the pre-release jitters escalate since "Sift the Noise" follows from the success of "One Chance" which we posted on this blog ages ago, with only a minutely smaller degree of anticipation. Once again the band has done a superb job with the animation, combining classic movie references ranging from my personal favorite Mr. Myagi to E.T. and King Kong all in a truly unique style. And sorry but I have to mention to the "Mangez the Wagon Wheel" innuendo here too...something all good one-class-of-highschool-french-watched-too-much-T.V.-during-childhood observer can appreciate. Wagon Wheels, for those of you outside Australia the U.K. and Canada, can easily be defined as possibly the best reason to stay part of the commonwealth:)
So check out the new Skipping Girl Vinegar video for "Sift the Noise:"
And for those of you still dealing with John Howard seperation anxiety heres a little clip with a backing track by Adelaide boys Sonic Animation. Def. one of my favorite Australian electronic acts.
Loving the Weekend,
Will Out.

New Video from Kate Miller Heidke
So another busy week is drawing to a close and it’s Friday here again at Heapsaflash, the day when we lick the last of our weekday wounds and brave uncharacteristically cold tropical weather to bring you another exciting update...this week from fellow Brisbane-ite Kate Miller Heidke.
A little over a year now since the release of her debut album 'Little Eve', Kate Miller-Heidke is one of the most talked about performers in Australian music.
A little over a year now since the release of her debut album 'Little Eve', Kate Miller-Heidke is one of the most talked about performers in Australian music.
Most recently Kate’s been working with Jefferton James a.k.a. Tea Cozy on a clip for her new single “Mama.” Jefferton describes the motivation for the clip as:
“The idea of a city fleeing and returning to nature came to me while eating my lunch amid a crop of skyscrapers...I started imagining these buildings uprooting themselves and becoming like lumbering dinosaurs marching back to a mythical source of life...my eureka moment was when I realised that Mama , the mama of the song could be mother nature and that a city is nothing more than a forest made of buildings...”
With two such talented artists working in tandem, you know the result’s going to be arrestingly splendid, so without further ado, Check out the new Kate Miller Heidke video clip for “Mama”
There is one more thing....it’s been emotional...
Will out.

Friday Tunes
FT was noticeably absent last week. Were we MIA out of respect to the almighty - hmmm perhaps, but more likely it's because we're lazy, and when we get a day off, we take it!!!
So, in order to make amends for disappointing you all last week, I bring you not 1, but 2 Friday Tunes - gees we're generous.
Firstly, indie-funk wet dreams The Paper Scissors have just released their new single 'The Bandit', and already it's getting people a bit hot and bothered. Is it because of the near-naked man in the film clip, maybe, but more likely it's because this is a slammin' good tune.
They're soon to be on the road with bluejuice for a tour that some are claiming will be the biggest thing since Ben Hur. The tour kicks off in Adelaide in just two weeks time, so to get you in the mood check out this clip out:
The second track comes from old-faves QOTSA. I'm off to V Fest down the Gold Coast on Sunday, and these desert rockers are sure to be a treat. My girlfriend saw them last night in Brisbane and said they were amazing.
This is one of their older tracks, but it's a goodie:
Nate out.

Friday Tunes
Hi cyber music afficionados,
Paul here again for another ripping installment of this week Friday Tunes! Swashbuckling, I know...
Todays theme will be awesome clips by artists who should probably run for leaders of countries, lets just say they have my vote!
First up is the very cool animated clip for Melbourne band Skipping Girl Vinegar. I know we have spoken of these guys before, but they will be dropping their brand new album really soon ( I have had a sneakly little listen and between you and me, it hot!) and i thought i should just re-iterate why they are just that good!
The clip is for the track 'One Chance' which you would have no doubt heard on the wireless, that is unless of course you have had your ears filled with brocolli and tarzans grip glue.
The One Chance clip was actually made by the Skipping Girl Vinegar vocalist/guitarist/daredevil pilot Mark Lang. Now I know what you are thinking, anyone can make a clip with a camera phone, walkman and a small painted woodern duck... Well this is true but, check the clip out and you will see just the lengths Mark has gone to, fantastic!
The second clip here is from my all time favorite artist Tom Waits. The Track is called "Gods Away on Business". Anyone who can incorporate emus into a film clip deserves all the accolades one can give!
Have a great weekend and enjoy!
