Sydney gigs, Ahoy!
- Hey kids, remember that little Australian outfit Waikiki of “Here Comes September” fame? Well you best do yourself a favour and forgot about them pretty damn quickly, because they went out and got all ‘UK’ our asses. You know the drill - move to the UK so you can change your band’s name, image, [...]
Taken from Maria’s Livejournal…
“…Some guy posted his version of the You Only Live Once video (which he pitched to RCA but was denied) on YouTube for everyone to watch. Quite frankly, it’s amazing, and better than any other video The Strokes have released since Hard to Explain. It’s not only unique but also works with [...]
Darren Cross could well be the busiest man in the world. Or at least in Australia. But most definitely Sydney. When he’s not busy touring the nation high and low in support of his band’s latest and greatest record ‘GERLING 4′, he can be found in a dark room typing furiously on his keyboard, deep [...]
I went to The Tote last Saturday nite with the intention of reviewing the Treetops/Wellingtons fundraiser gig to no avail. I got too drunk and told my tale of woe to Angus via MSN. He said, “Just copy and paste what you’re telling me.” So I did.
zit remedy: so how was the weekend?!
eleven seconds to [...]
So the word on the street is that both Rivers Cuomo and his legion of “little bitch” fans were getting fed up with various music magazine’s repetitive run-of-the-mill questions. These questions would further lead to repetitive run-of-the-mill answers, eventually resulting in what can be best described as: ‘repetitive run-of-the-mill articles’. Shocking. So as a result [...]

4. What a number. “Four”. Here is part 4 of the infamous Strokes Line Video.
There were 4 Beatles. My shirt has a number ‘4′ on the back of it. Coincidence? I think not.
(Also, if you missed out on 1337 presale tickets the real deal goes on sale at 9am. So happy ticket buying you n00bz [...]
My Big Fat Geek Wedding
Taken from weezer.com
“…Congratulations to Rivers and Kyoko Cuomo!
The wedding was at a secluded beachfront cliff property in Paradise Cove, Malibu, and was attended by about 100 friends and family members. It was a fun day where many mini-reunions took place. For the first time in possibly, ever, the following folks were all in the same [...]
Arctic Monkeys: 1 Geezer down
Whatever people say, that is what he’s not. And people say he’s the bassist for Arctic Monkeys, but he’s not. Because whatever people say he is, that is what he’s not, and that means -
In less confusing and painful terminology: Andy Nicholson has left left that small UK band you have have heard of - [...]
20 ways to see the world
Why would The Strokes want to be covered in what looks like raw sewerage for their latest music video? Because you only live once. Ouch.
You know what to do.
The third time is never a charm
Who dies?
Who survives?
Who reveals themselves to be the protagonist’s father?
Who is captured by Boba Fett and frozen in Carbonite?
All of these questions and more will be answered in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
But just incase you were actually wondering what kind of tomfoolery 300 excited kids get up to when standing in [...]
When he’s sixty-four
39 Years ago Paul McCartney asked the world: “Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I’m sixty-four.”
Well his wife just left him, and he doesn’t eat meat - but he did play bass for The Beatles so we’ll try our best. Happy 64th Birthday Sir Paul. You dog, you.
3 Strokes down, 2 to go
Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi confirmed yesterday in an interview that he is now married to longtime photographer girlfriend Amanda De Cadenet. I think the line “The coolest person I know right know is my wife,” was the one that really spelled it out for us. This news now increases the Married to non-Married Strokes ratio [...]
