The Great Jack White/Bob Dylan love affair of 2007 continues! Seeing as though I can’t let go of past events (or can be bothered to find something else to post about), here’s a lazy slice of aural delight taken from night one of last week’s most talked about gig - When Bobby met Jacky [...]

If rampant rumours are anything to go by, next year’s Big Day Out festival is shaping up to be one hell of a 90’s nostalgia-fest. The dead giveaway is the fact that Bjork and the recently-reassembled Rage Against The Machine and Smashing Pumpkins have all either officially/unofficially announced tour dates in Australia, for the end [...]

So far, 2007 has been a relatively quiet year for Sydney rockers, The Vines. Besides a slot on last summer’s Big Day Out circuit and an appearance at the Great Escape festival earlier in the year, the normally loud lads have hardly made a peep - but all of that is soon to change.
Vines-fever officially [...]

If 2007 is considered as “the future” by 50’s Sci-Fi standards - then where’s my Flux Capacitor-equiptd De Lorean, already?
The reason I’m in dire need of a time traveling device, is so I can take myself back to the the 19th and 20th of September, 2007. Destination: Nashville, Tennessee. Yeah, two days ago. But [...]

It’s a well known fact that two of my favourite things are online social networking and free music, so it comes as no surprise that I practically blue myself when I discovered that Darren Cross had posted two brand-spanking new original E.L.F. tunes on MySpace.
“Take Me Back”, an electro mish-mash of beats and appropriate blips, [...]

Those fun-lovin’ rockers known as The Basics are set to return from their gallant conquest of lesser-nations, and what better way to celebrate than with a homecoming tour. (Full video-graphic evidence of said conquering can be viewed here.)
Appropriately titled The Basics’ Homecoming Tour, this October and November will see the trio galavanting about the [...]

If you’ve ventured out to your local cinema complex lately, you wouldn’t be wrong in thinking that this year’s summer - our winter, but you know, this is Hollywood - singlehandedly belonged to Judd Apatow. And sure, Seth Rogen, too.
But this is a music blog, right? So, why am I casually dropping film-talk like some [...]

It’s rare to receive an honest, healthy dose of common courtesy in these fan-dangled days of high speed broadband internet. Back in my day, if I wanted to surf me some wild web 1.0, I used to have to walk though five miles of snow just to plug the ol’ 14kbps modem into the lone [...]

The Flaming Lips are back! But, did they go anywhere? Well, physically speaking - no. Though their LSD slash Area 51-influenced live shows would have you thinking that the Oklahoma crazies were abducted on a regular basis.
The truth is that The Flaming Lips (FLips?) have a new, characteristically ‘zany number’ on the soundtrack for the [...]

Ivy League, one of Sydney’s most prominent and well respected record labels is turning ten this year. The good news is that the stiffs and the suits at the label have decided to let their hair down and share their birthday festivities with the punters - but not without the help of some of their [...]

Ryan ‘the human workshorse’ Adams, who obviously thought that releasing both an LP and rarities box set in the one year wasn’t quite as a remarkable feat as putting out a trio of albums in 2005, is set to even the score by releasing a seven-track EP recorded with The Cardinals on October 23. Stolen [...]

When the B-side for the new White Stripes’ single, You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You’re Told), was revealed to be ‘Frat Rock Version’ of the same song - fans all over the globe wondered a couple of things: What would a ‘Frat Rock Version’ of anything sound like - [...]
