Here at PopGoesCanberra we are huge Gunther fans, and were quite late to discover this video of his that came out in June or so...it's AMAZING! This may well be our summer 07/08 theme!
Ola Ola...ra ta da ta da!
What's Not (hot)
Many things are not hot at the moment in Canberra.
First things first.
BMWs. What were once nice cars have been taken over by total and utter bogany types with hideous mullety hair who want to show off a lot and be very silly, really. And they usually have silly customised numberplates too, and drive too fast.
The staff at Fitness First Deakin - they have all changed - why so? The old ones were nice. These ones are all young and quite unhelpful. PGC prefers young and quite helpful.
Young men at Coles Manuka buying condoms excitedly at 6pm on a Saturday night. We don't want to know that you are having sex tonight, lest you set off our envious sexometers!
The Sideshow on the ABC. It's not very good really.
Air Crash Investigations being on at the same time as Summer Heights High.
Traffic lights along this section of Ballumbi St, Civic:

They are terrible! They are not sychronised at all and once can be quite possibly caught by five in a row turning red one after the other!
Lack of street sensuality by Canberran folk.
Gatherings of young men in hoodies, smoking, outside McDonalds Manuka.

What's Hot
- Facebook (that's where we've been for the last four months - sorry)
- Australian Idol, just so you can watch it and then go to Scott to be Certain's HILARIOUS commentary
- Summer Heights High. A taste:
- BWO. Look! Their new album is out shortly!!!!!
- Neighbours. It's quite good, with its fancy new look and quality actors like Jane Hall, Steve Bastoni and co.
- Hoodies. Nice ones. Not ugly ones.
- APEC Australia 2007. Something interesting on the news for once!
- The ski season. It was cold! But now it's hot, so the snow is melting :(
- The weather - warming up, a little
- Robyn - gracing Australia with her pop presence. Look at her hair!
What's Hot
Yellow. Yellow is hot. Evidence?

Coles Manuka: Worst supermarket in Canberra?
The answer is surely yes.For the person who has just moved to the inner south of Canberra, Coles Manuka at first delights the senses. It is central, accessible, and stocked with a wide range of grocery items. It even has a little Asian and special foods section. Wowee.
But it starts to tire very quickly.
Most noticeable at first is the bizarre smell when you walk in. It's a complex blend of checkout staff greasy hair, doughey bread, half-cleaned floors and almost-off fish. Even Monsieur Grenouille from Perfume: The Scent of a Murderer would be disgusted.
Next, the prices. There are some decent specials, but the fruit and vegies are nowhere near the taste and good value that you'll find at Fyshwick markets. The breakfast cereal
PopGoesCanberra prefers, Carmans, is approximately $0.25 dearer than at Woolworths. Nice eggs are ridiculously expensive.Finally, the checkout operators. While there is the occasional stunning one who
really should be in an Eastern European gay porn film, the vast majority have absolutely no charisma, dry, flaky lips and a weak "how are you" and "mind if I put the meat in the same bag?" They also have no idea how to work fast (obviously never been to Aldi) and tend to pack your bag in a way that makes it topple over as you are picking it up so your eggs all break, or just as you are getting out of your car at home the bag collapses because it is so weak and your yoghurt goes EVERYWHERE.It's great that it employs local young people, but like, WHATEVER, how about sending them on some kind of course and developing their service skills? For fuck's sake...
I won't mention the decidely middle of the road soundtrack, that fails to inspire, apart from the occasional slice of Bardot or Shania Twain. BWO would NOT go astray.
As It Is In Heaven
You've all got to see it! Look! This is the trailer! It's Swedish and perfect and wonderful! It's on at Dendy now!
Can you see why PopGoesCanberra loves the Gold Coast?
I mean, it's a bit different to Canberra, isn't it?
Epic new BWO video
PopGoesCanberra has returned from Brisbane (report coming soon, features photos from PopGoesCanberra's amazing Robyn - including a Nicole Ritchie lookalike up-close and personal on the Gold Coast) to find the amazing new BWO video has landed. Look at it!!!!
Just in case you are blind and can only listen to the song, which you will hear is amazing, the video features Martin looking amazing, Marina looking amazing, Alexander looking as silly as usual, plus loads of animal-like creatures, including a cute little mousey one! Oh, and lots of lovely lasery light beams!
Meanwhile PopGoesCanberra is impressed with this new Canberran blog which transplants all the good stuff in PopGoesCanberra and puts it on an enviable trip to the Eurovision Song Contest.
