Erk has been at one EP launch last weekend (Hard As Nails) & has another one this weekend (Vanity Riots). There is a lot of great music out there & in Sydney this Saturday night, there is great music that Erk has featured on Erk FM before in at least 5 different venues on the one night. Somehow Erk wishes he could be in several places at once! This week, Erk also found that a band he has featured before on Erk FM are starting to gig again with a new lineup.

In an unusual move for an Australian indie/unsigned band, Melbourne female fronted hard rock band Bellusira are making an attack on the Australian music charts by encouraging people to pre-order their debut album Connection via JB Hi-fi. Online pre-orders will be signed by the band. In-store pre-orders are also available.

On this episode, Erk takes a look at life in suburbia according to TV featuring two very different examples. Opening the episode with Portlandia, Erk relates how he thinks that Portlandia falls into the "Funny because it's true" category. Erk has been to Portland OR where the series is based & found that because he can identify with the people and places, he can relate to the show more than someone who has no idea about anything PDX.

Looking closer to home, Erk then talks about Housos. There's a line of progression from pizza delivery (Pizza), couriering (Swift & Shift Couriers) and suburban living (Housos) in Sydney. Many of the cast appear on all three programs which usually feature a lot of strong language, unrealistic scenes and some low brow humour. All 3 shows do have their moments of laugh out loud humour, though. There are some B & C grade celebrities familiar to Australian viewers that might not translate well for American viewers.

There's a quick update about The Block: Sky High (Erk couldn't think of the full name of the show at the time!) and Wentworth. ]]> http://echoromeokilo.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=33686 1 Erk,Erk To The Diary Room,Housos,Pizza,Portlandia,Swift & Shift Couriers,The Block,The Block: Sky High,TV,Wentworth Welcome to episode 18 of Erk To The Diary Room.
