Yes, I understand that the above title is somewhat odd. A song over forty years old leaking in this day and age of the interwebs is almost a farce, given how common it is to witness entire records appearing online in crude mp3 matter months before being released. What is more odd is that someone [...]

Proving that he’s still alright for an old guy, Paul McCartney has once again come up with another corker of a video. Mums everywhere will be fanning themselves after sitting though this clever little clip for what I believe is the best song on his recent Starbucks hit, Memory Almost Full. And who knew he [...]

When Apple sent out intentionally vague invites for their September 5th media event entitled ‘The Beat Goes On’, fanboys and analysts all over the world racked their collective brains over what electronic goodies the company would be announcing.
Many assumed that the title was a subtle hint alluding to the fact that The Beatles’ famously-absent digital [...]

The hit and miss nature of ‘the tribute album’ has caused me to grow weary in this over-saturated market of music compilations. Don’t even get me started on those lousy tribute CDs given away with the UK music press. I swear to god that regardless of what year it is, Q or Mojo seem to [...]

To celebrate her first tour Down Unda, Regina Spektor has just added another date to her touring schedule for all of us boys and girls. The second show will be, once again, at the Enmore Theatre on 12th July, so get in quick before tickets are snapped up quicker than you can say “Soviet Kitsch”. [...]

Despite the fact that I’m an incredibly massive Beatles fan, my knowledge for the Fabs post 1970 (when they broke up) is suprisignly sparse. Though all four Beatles pursued their own solo careers after the split, each with varying levels of success (Ringo - no more movies!), I haven’t really followed these. Sure, everyone knows [...]

While I’d rather throw on Revolver or The White Album any day, there’s no denying the almighty power of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The thing is though, every great thing about the record has been said at least a million times before. Just take a look at any Greatest Albums poll and you’re [...]

For me, waiting for the latest Michel Gondry video is like waiting for Christmas. After weeks of reading all the rumours and official updates, I desperately hunt down all the production stills and finally, the video comes out and I am forced to watch it on a ridiculously small screen with revolting amounts of pixelation [...]

Desperate for some good press after the ‘wife-beater’ claims from everyone’s favourite limbless super model, Paul McCartney has teamed up with Michel Gondry for the first video from his latest record Memory Almost Full. “Ever Present Past” will feature Natalie Portman, Mackenzie Crook, and most importantly, Neil Tudor; famous for being the world’s best Paul [...]

It’s common knowledge around Beatles nerds that when the Fab Three were putting togeher the Anthology series of CDs a decade ago that a third ‘new’ track was left off the third and final installment. After the so-so results of “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love”, in which the remaining Beatles added their voices [...]

Unless you have been living under some kind of comfortable granite rock for the past few weeks, then you would have heard that a new Beatles album is about to be released. That’s right - new. I don’t mean ‘new’ in the sense that the two deceased moptops were resurrected by the means [...]

Apparently Sean spent the last eight years recording, playing and performing “Discreetly” - in the form of collaborating with Ben Lee, Thurston Moore, Ryan Adams and his mother, Yoko Ono.
