If you are anything like me you hang out each week for the next episode of True Blood. Vampires, werewolves, you name it, we love it.
After combing the internet for the next best piece of pop culture for you all, I stumbled upon this hysterical music video devoted to our beloved Sookie Stackhouse, by none other than Snoop Dogg. My favourite line in the song is "I'm the dog that don't bite... woof woof!"
Ha! Love it. Enjoy. And remember, True Blood airs Tuesdays on Showcase, channel 403 on Foxtel.

Australia's NERVO twins, Mim and Liv, can seem to do no wrong!
The Melbourne born girls started off as successful models with the Chadwick Models Agency, before setting their eyes on becoming talented songwriters, producers, remixers, DJ's and recording artists.
The girls penned the worldwide club smash When Love Takes Over by David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland. The song, known and loved by all across the globe (unless you've been hiding under a rock... or in cave... or out at sea - you get the point) went to #1 in the UK and #6 in Australia, scoring platinum status (+70,000 copies sold).
Most recently they've co-written the loveable track Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love) for Kylie Minogue's new album Aphrodite. If you ask me the track is 2010's version of Kylie's Love at First Sight - hot, hot, hot.
And of course I can't forget the endless volume of tracks they've written for artists such as Ke$ha, Pixie Lott, The Pussycat Dolls and many more.
Let's move forward to today - the girls have just joined forces in the studio with Andrew Klippel (ex-Euphoria for all you Love You Right fans) and Luke Steele (Empire of the Sun). Can't wait to hear the outcome of that session!
Here's a taste of their hot, hot, hot music - This Kind of Love feat. Ollie James which was released in April this year. Look forward to their new single, Irresistable, which should be released soon.

Finally! Australia has started to catch on to Zoë Badwi's latest single, Freefallin' - today the single debuts at #74 on the ARIA singles chart!
Most of you would know Zoë's club hits Release Me and In the Moment which charted in the ARIA club charts back in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Freefallin' however, is her first single to hit the ARIA top 100 singles chart.
The song, which was penned by our very own Amy Pearson and club favourites Denzal Park, features a video of Zoë groovin' around some sexy lil dancers. Check out the video below!
And of course if you haven't already purchased it - here's a link to the song on iTunes: Buy Freefallin' now!

FYI - a Bushbie refers to a member/lover/follower/devotee of this beloved blog. It was either Bushbie or Bushhard. Hmmm.
This morning I was contacted by a an school friend with additional history surrounding the origins of the bush week saying. What's she's manage to locate on the wonderful world of the internet is:
"Orientation week for second semester at university"
Hmmm. Not sure about the last one referring to a university semester - what the? Just don't get it. Anywho.
I have to admit though, the next piece found on ABC News Radio's site I like!
"A NewsRadio listener emails to ask for the origins of bush week. Well, bush week refers to (a) fictitious festival when bushies come to town in droves.
Thus the expression bush week is used ironically by someone who suspects they’re being made the victim of a scam or prank.
The bushies, of course, are supposed to be a bit slow on the uptake (and perhaps as thick as a brick) so lots (of) greasy larrikins and city slickers try to rip them off. Thus the expression bush week is used ironically by someone who suspects they’re being made the victim of a scam or prank, as in the question “What do you think this is, bush week?” To which the proper response is, “Yes, and you’re the sap!”
The first recorded instance of the term bush week is from 1919 – to describe a serious attempt to organise a Bush Festival in the City of Sydney.” Within a few years it was being used ironically, and entered Aussie English as a standard conversational ploy (recorded as such by Sid Baker in 1949).
Well there you have it! Apparently us Bushbies who originated from the "the bush" are a bit slow on the uptake. Hmmm. Although... it does explain a lot.
Add your comments below or drop me an email if you locate anything different.
Thanks to Leanne for doing the research - much love!

,Most of you by now would have seen our brilliant singing budgie on America's Got Talent. Kylie Minogue performs her second single off her new album - Get Outta My Way... I can't help but post this vid (again).
The applause she gets from the crowd is a testament to a hard work she's been doing. Go miss thang, show 'em how it's done.

Well? Whadaya think it is... bush week?
And so, is my blog. Kinda funny you know... that saying has been around in my family for years. Don't know who picked it up, or from where, but it managed to manifest itself into my vocabulary and become a random saying said once too often.
"People who live in the Aussie 'bush', ie: in the country regions of the nation, are considered by city people as their mental inferiors. Hence, 'Bush week' (when country people supposedly come to town) is postulated as the reason for unexplainable, weird or silly happenings"
Hmm. Not sure how my ol' town folk gonna feel 'bout that response.
And according to VampireRave.com (don't ask me what kinda site it is - ask Google):
"Which means the speaker isn't easily fooled or deceived. It is usually a response to a questionable statement or unreasonable request."
Still... it kinda suggests those from the non-metro areas may be somewhat a little simpler than their metro neighbours. Either way, it's a hysterical saying and it now the title of this blog.
And there you have it. Feel free to drop a line if you've found a definition of the saying that you think is worth publishing. I could spend time rummaging through the crap that Google populated when searched for the term, but ah, who's got time.
