The New Matthew/Phil
It seems as though 12MC favourite/regular, David McCormack hasn’t been the only ex-Custard member keeping himself busy since the sad day the beloved Brisbane boys called it quits in 2000. If the internet rumours and Myspace profile are anything to go by, it would appear that the one-time shredder for Custard, Matthew Strong, is now [...]
BK Baby, Too Cold To Hold
I logged into my myspace profile earlier and found that the Ben Kweller song i had on my profile has been deleted! So i did some investigating and he has some songs from his new album on his myspace! Go listen, they’re quite delightful.
Set your VCRs to REC
If you’re anything like me, then no doubt every Saturday morning when you turn on tube only to find the same Top 50 music videos on every channel you find yourself grumbling “what ever happened to Recovery?” For those who don’t know, Recovery was an awesome television program that would start at 9am and run [...]
Be Cool
When MTV.com ‘broke’ the news about Weezer’s supposed split, many other online music sites followed suit. Including this one. That’s right, I jumped on the bandwagon as soon I heard. I mean Weezer are one of my favourite bands ever, so if the traumatic rumours were indeed true - how could I not? But something [...]
According to the brothers Steinfort, The Black Keys have some Magic Potion coming out soon. They have some tunes up on their myspace so go check them out.
Muriel’s Homebake?
If there’s one thing that an Australian summer is guaranteed to bring besides an annoying sunburn and shitty television, it’s a music festival. We go absolutely nuts over these. The piss poor sound quality, the metal guy in the faded Metallica shirt constantly slapping your face with his wet hair, the ‘funny’ guys that come [...]
Girl, you got those hands
Hey gang! Ever wondered what would happen if Jack White and his buddies from The Raconteurs shot a video at Dikemark Hospital in Norway with a group of deaf girls? Neither did I! But incase that thought ever did cross your mind - today is your lucky day. Just do the usual Youtube thing and [...]
On Tuesday evening I received an email from Linda Murphy, director of the official Vines Fansite Dreamin The Insane:
BIG NEWS!!! There will be a very small FREE Vines show tomorrow night (Wednesday 19 July) at the Annandale Hotel Sydney.
It has not and will not be advertised. It’s basically a small performance for friends and family, [...]

More Sydney gigs, Ahoy!
So it’s that time of the year again where a lot of awesome international bands come out for that little music festival in Byron known as Splendour in the Grass. This year, tickets sold out faster than the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs - so unless you scored one [...]
TNT Redeux
From the folks at nownow:
Everyone loves a lynchin’, especially a rock’n’roll lynchin’! So if you’d like to lynch effigies of Tim Rogers and Tex Perkins, why not join the mob for the filming of their new video in Melbourne tomorrow? Just turn up at 10am at 26 Robeson Street, West Preston. You can get there [...]
