Have you ever seen Faith No More live?  #

This is a call out to anyone who has ever seen Faith No More live.

I'd love for you to contact me with when and where (even approximately) you saw them.

The name of the venue would be fantastic but down to city and year would be enough if that is all you can provide. If you remember the support acts that would be great too.

I'm also after (scans or photos of) advertisements for gigs and ticket stubs. Anything from 1995 and earlier but 1997 is OK too.

Anyone with old music magazines (1998 or earlier) and feels like wasting an afternoon, could you dive through and look for advertisements for Faith No More gigs? I'm just after date and venue and especially if it was cancelled.

Please send any info you have to blogfnmhelp @ this domain.


Four Day Week: Anyone?  #

Dave posts on the 4 day week idea and asks:

I’d love to abolish work, but I’d settle for a four day week right now. Anyone got one going?

There are two examples at my work.

One is a contractor who works four days a week. He doesn't work Mondays. When a public holiday falls on a Monday he will work the following Monday to make up the time / money. He initially planned to do volunteer work on the Monday but now does "home stuff". This is the best we can hope for with current work force standards.

Another is employeed part-time. She works three days a week (not always in a row). She is treated like a full time employee but gets 3/5 of all entitlements.
