DIORAMA BREAKS RECORDS
December 20, 2002
Here in Australia, Silverchair's "Diorama" is now officially the fastest selling album of their entire career.
The
widely acclaimed disc went past triple platinum sales (210,000 copies)
today - only eight and half months after it was initially released. By
comparison, Silverchair's debut CD "frogstomp" took almost a year to
reach this point. Its' follow up, "Freak Show", got there after two
years while 1999's "Neon Ballroom" is only now on the verge this sales
level.
These unprecedented sales are all the more remarkable
given the album's radical shift in musical direction. "Diorama" sees
songwriter, Daniel Johns, intentionally discarding most of the heavy
rock riffs that had become the group's trademark and experimenting with
more melodic and orchestral stylings.
It has also been
achieved in spite of the fact that the band has not been able to play
any Australian concerts since the album's release due to health
problems.
current mood:
current music: "The Greatest View" - Silverchair
7:39pInane Drivel:Ack.
It's getting real hard to say "Merry Christmas" authentically now, I'm tellin' ya...
9 am: "Merry Christmas!" *bright and bubbly*
10 am: "Merry Christmas!" *leans over counter* *face pales* *bloody hell, how LONG is that line?!*
11 am: "Merry Christamas... Ooh, damn... wait, I charged you twice for that celebrations thing... here..." *someone! Help me!*
12 : "Seeya later! *mumbles* Merry Christmas!"
1: *through clenched teeth*"Merry Christmas!" (Can I go now?)
1.20: "Merry Christmas!" (Smile, damn you! You think you've got it tough?! I was meant to be out of here 20 minutes ago!!!)

And so the day progressed.
Man,
I'm sick of being nice to people... there are only a few people I can
think of that I feel like being remoteley civil to right now...
*toothy grin*
Oh... I think I've been corrupted...
I read a Silverchair fanfic... (out of curiosity) and... don't kill me... I enjoyed it...
*curls up in little ball*
I feel guilty now...
I enjoyed something I consider morrally wrong...
damn... work is affecting my mind...
sorry Daniel

current music: "Untitled" - Silverchair
8:00pInane Drivel:Hrm.
Feeling kinda philosophical now...
might write something soon...
Shadws reach towards the sun
Seek to choke the day
we recoil from this seeming evil
and yet we live it day by day
we are blind to what we do
yet quick to place the blame
what is good in eyes of few
kindle in others hatred's flame
some shout out
they try to help
but they are mere raindrops in the squall
the squall in which money falls
and all stop to catch it as it falls
few stop to watch the true gems fade
those that do not gleam or shine
but roar or mew or neigh or crow
and when gone are lost to day
those priceless few are soon forgotten
"there's still time left"
they say
but little do they choose to see
they drowned in yesterday

Hrm...
Tell me what you think?
8:35pInane Drivel:I'm gonna end up naming something Psyche pretty soon...
No, really! How cool a name is Psyche?
Or Slazenger.
If that wasn't a product brand name, I swear, I would call a CHILD Slazenger.
*grins*
Or Nike.
That's the Greek Goddess of Victory, you know... quite appropriate for a sport brand, I guess...
Feh.
I go now.
Toodles.
Have fun
Stay safe
Be Funky!!!
