Xavier Rudd's house for sale

temporarybenbutler  said about 3 years ago  or at  3:59PM on Saturday, August 1 2009 in stupidity

According to today's Age, the Bells Beach pad has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, solar power and a worm farm.

Designed by ''leading ESD architectural firm Zen Architects'', it is made from straw bales and timber.

The price? A mere $1.75 million to $1.95 million.

Looks like making terrible music paid off pretty well for Xavier.

Wasn't it a Xavier Rudd gig that was cancelled because of an ex-chat's non-granting of a booze licence?

ALLEGEDLY

Sounds like the dude can afford to walk around in bare feet looking like he just smoked a truckload of Cattle knob


mizza  said about 3 years ago:

ok, so this is the truth.
the guy has ripped out hundreds of small trees to put in a 140m long track to get to his house- when there is a perfectly good road less than 10m away!
then, he's removed some big trees to put his house on the block.
then gone and built a million dollar house
then, when his missus tells him she wants to leave and they have to sell the house (conveniently after the 1 year capital gains period has elapsed)- they embark on a cross marketing campaign in the age, rolling stone, sanctuary mag and every other rag- selling the eco-creds of Rudd, the art of his missus, and the eco house of the future. step 1.
then, they put the house on the market- using the rudd publicity machine to market the house for sale- again cross marketing eco creds etc etc (he who controls the press controls the truth)
now- the house and land that cost $1.4M is for sale for $1.75- $1.95M (thats millions of dollars, people)- a cool $350-550k capital gains free profit to go and buy 2 houses side by side in byron bay on acreage...oh, and i forgot the cross marketing ''save spring creek'' concert where the local hero saves the town he is now bailing on.
gotta hand it to the guy- the smartest roots muso on the block.
he who controls the press controls the truth (goebbels?)- the whole reason he made it big was bcos his old man used to own propaganda and he could print free posters to market his son- he sold this out and made some $$$, but the other rudd owns ghanda. go figure

Goal attack  said about 3 years ago:

It's because of Gary Sweet's plot to bring Xavier Rudd down. Luckily Pete Murray witnessed Sweet's standover tactics, and he's hatching a plan with Rudd and Butler to bring Sweet down and increase the property value.

Should have a billboard:

addendum: Episode #16

The Hillbillies Have Eyes
Geoffro mistakes the crystals for something else and tries to snort them. They get wedged in his nostrils, pointy bits sticking outwards. He then headbutts Rudd but the pointy crystals reach Rudd's head first, embedding into his forehead and coming free from Geoffro's nostrils. Rudd meanwhile is pleased with the new snotty crystal erection on his forehead and promenades. Butler gets jealous...

Xavier is on Video Hits this morning. He says: ''We've just made a new record and it's powerful.''

He's so modest.

Episode #17: New Car

It's christmas time & Xavier is embarrassed in front of his wood-core buddies when his folks buy him a brand new Hummer like all the rock stars drive.
What a dilemma!
Xaview spends christmas day driving his new toy up & down his new (tree-free) driveway, when close buddy Jack Johnson, spies him enjoying such a guilty pleasure, tells him it's ok feel guilty about driving such a gas guzzling behemeth, but you can't upset your parents at such an important time of year.
Soon word gets out about the new car, and Xavier resorts to hitching rides on the highway to the hip beach parties. On one occasion he's spied on the side of the road by his parents on their way home from spending a bundle at the local council meeting in order to settle some ongoing property development issues. Already tense from local hippy opposition, the parents snap at Xavier for not only being naughty by hitch-hiking, but not using the big, safe car they bought their precious little boy (who will ALWAYS be their little boy), reducing him to tears in front of Natalie Pa'apa'a, lead singer of Blue King Brown, who consoles him by making him some ''tea'' unintentionally brewed from worm-juice collected by John Butler when his own watering can filled to the brim, leaving him to reach for the tea pot perched upon the bbq wok-burner. Hilarity ensues.

Episode #18

Spicks and Specks ask a question about Xavier Rudd's musical influences which spawns legal action against the singer from Womack & Womack and a frog for Copyright infringement. Faced with mounting legal costs and having to wear shoes, Xavier is forced to sell his dreads on eBay. The winning bidder is an alcoholic ex-cop who finds the Beaumont children hiding inside gagging for fresh air. With the money raised from his eBay auction, Xavier celebrates by buying some Manuka honey and an Ian Moss CD.

Initially, his trial goes badly but is rescued at the 11th hour by evidence from Whoopi Goldberg who happens to be in Australia buying patchouli and some fabric from Tiwi Design.

The jury finds Xavier guilty of writing shit music and being a rich-kid hypocrite but not guilty of the lesser charge of copyright infringement. Devastated, Womack & Womack leave to play Womadelaide. The frog turns out to be a relative of Xavier's Canadian girlfriend, Butterface, who is jealous of the ''musician's'' ability to play didgeridoo, guitar, harmonica and invest in property at the same time.

He returns to his home and clearfells 100 acres to make way for a Manuka honey plantation tended to by black children with good bodies and impulse buys Ian Moss.

I heard off a close source that he is splitting with his wife, hence why he is selling ze house, not so he can roll around in fresh banknotes from the sale


djbollocks  said about 3 years ago:

Some choice quotes from X Rudd in today's Sunday Life magazine. He's a deep guy apparently .

''My earliest memories of the opposite sex would have to be my connection with my female spirit, I'm not sure who she is but I believe she is an Aboriginal woman, maybe my grandmother or great-grandmother. I have felt her spirit come out very strong in me. I have been told by a lot of old people that I am a messenger for the mob (Aboriginal people) that makes complete sense to me, I have that feminine soft side and maybe she has chosen me [...]

You can't predict human behaviour no matter how much you know someone. I built my family a beautiful house in victoria, a sustainable home. The marriage went pear shaped right at the time we were moving in. She didn't want to live there [...]

When my wife left it was a hard time, a mysterious leaving and a difficult path for me''.


SGH  said about 3 years ago:

Perhaps he should have focused on making his marriage sustainable instead.

timewaster  said about 3 years ago:

He should get married to that feminine Aboriginal spirit.

Or a mound of dirt.

Dear Xavier,

Your new song, seen by people watching rage this morning, is one of the stinkiest piles of shit I've heard in a while. Your film clip suits it perfectly. Fucking
terrible.

djbollocks - That's hilarious! Is it a real quote?

Sitting by a fire late at night in Canada, Xavier Rudd had an ethereal vision.

In almost a lucid state, a powerful bird seemed to reach out to him, warning him of an important happening back home in Australia in one of the places closest to his heart.

...

“(Spirit Bird) came from an experience I had with a red-tailed black cockatoo in the Kimberley,” he says.

This guy is too easy to hate.


temporarybenbutler  said about 9 months ago:

“I think we have the ability to touch people energetically,” he says.

Eww.
