Queenstown weekend

Few snaps from this weekends action. 

Still here

I'm still livin' in Queenstown, New Zealand.
It's still good enough to make it worth staying.
It's a bit of a struggle sometimes, but the ups still outweigh the downs.
It's hard to keep a "travel" blog (as you can probably tell by the frequency of the Angry Tourist posts) when you're almost-settled down in a foreign country. After while you just start taking the views, trips and country in general for granted.
Anyway, here's a few snaps form recent times.

Life is good.

Nachystejte květináče

"Nachystejte květináče, na Vánoce jsem zpátky. Nebo tak nějak."

Praha: 20/10 - 4/11/2018. 

Zajdem na jedno?

Get your ass to Mars!

Nonsense is better than no sense at all

I am watching you.

Very nice. Now I'm ready to go out in public.

Into the void

"The universe is a cruel, uncaring void,
the key to being happy isn't the search for meaning,
it's just to keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense
and eventually
you'll be dead."

Surf, baby, surf!

Mhm!

Ride or Die

Mankind

I'm not mankind
Just look at me
I'm nothing
That I was meant to be

I'm not mankind
Mankind is cruel
Believes he's wise
But acts like a fool

Lost our purpose
Made it worthless
Lost our purpose
We've lost our way

If this is mankind
Then I don't belong
Whatever we were meant for
Has gone so wrong

Beautiful World

It's a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place
Beautiful people everywhere
The way they show they care

...

Too busy.

Too busy oiling the wheels to worry about where the engine is going.

All I've lost

Been hangin' round those same old blocks
The same alleyways, the same old parking lots
My heads been stuck on those same old thoughts 

Well sometimes life kicks you with a steel cap boot
But nuthin' hurts as bad as the truth
You'd think by now I'd learn to think things through

Chorus

Well what do ya do when there's nuthin' left to say?
What do ya got to show at the end of the day?
Lied to, beaten down and then double crossed
Well I try not to think about all I've lost

Speedin' through the night in the pourin' rain 

Radio's the only thing keepin' me sane

But I wont get nowhere if I just complain

Chorus 2x 

All I've lost along the way, but never needed it anyway

All I thought was gonna change, but will always stay the same

And all that's left behind are these questions on my mind

Yeeaaaaah!

Hallelujah, brothers & sisters!
Zeke are back.
Three minutes, three songs.
They hit you like a freight train.
Melt ya face off!

Words from a wise (cartoon) man

Listen Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed.
It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage.
I did it. Your parents are gonna do it.
Break the cycle, Morty.
Rise above.
Focus on science.

Grosswell

My friends Grosswell from Prague just put out their first record and it kicks ass!
Guys with golden hearts playing cold eastern European hardcore punk.
Check it out!

Finnish mongo punk

"Love is like a fart;

if you have to force it,

it will probably end up being a shit."

For me Love Comes In Turds:

"Laska je jako prd;

pokud se do toho musite nutit,

nejspis z toho bude sracka"

Record of the Day

Fucked Up - Hidden World. 
I have just re-discovered this little jewel among hardcore punk records.
The story of this album goes as this: a little Canadian diy hc punk band Fucked Up got signed up by Jade Tree records. The boys and girl found themselves having a much bigger budget for the studio recording session than they had for their previous releases and spent it well. Added layers and length to their old 2 minutes straightforward classics. The result is an amazingly interesting and catchy punk album.
You can discuss the quality of Fucked Up's later records, but this one is an eternal classic already.
Listening to this brings back so many great memories from their live concerts. I've seen them several times and it always was an absolute blast. So much fun, energy and weirdness. 
Fucked Up rules!
