MGMT were one of the bands I was so hellbent on hating when I read about them like everywhere. But as usual, the Brooklyn duo have ended up becoming one of my favourite acts of the year so far - all thanks to the catchier-than-hepatitis (all of them) record, Oracular Spectacular.
Now the lads have released [...]

God I’m getting real sick of bands giving away free music. Sure, it was all of the rage last year what with that Rainbows record and all, but now it’s become an absolute joke. The ever-increasing trend of artists giving away music for free has completely sucked any prior joy or buzz I once got [...]

Even though I’ve been digging the first eight tracks of Weezer’s Red Album, I am completely shocked by the record’s closer, “The Angel and The One”. And I mean “shocked” as in the good dropping-the-soap way. I don’t think Rivers has sounded so sincere since 1996. Who knew he still had it in him.
Weezer - [...]

ALL YOUR PORK AND BEANS ARE BELONG TO US!!!!! NUNCHUK GUY!!!! TAY ZONDAY!!!!!!
Can anyone name all of the YouTube celebrities? Kind of reminds me of that South Park episode. (Video of the year?)

Shifting away from including title tracks on their albums, The Vines fourth musical outing - and the first on Ivy League Records - will be called: Melodia. Recorded with Rob Schnapf (who previously twiddled knobs on the band’s first two records Highly Evolved and Winning Days) Melodia features fourteen new tracks including first single “He’s [...]

And so you will! The fine folks over at the not-so-annoying Facebook application (that I will never install) iLike are currently streaming the brand spankin’ new AHJr. tune, “GfC”. After listening to our first official offering from ¿Cómo Te Llama?, I must say that the song not only shares it’s title with its chord [...]

From Converse to Weezer, there’s certainly been a heavy dose of American influence in these last few posts. So for a change of pace (and before it becomes mandatory for 60% of Australian music blog posts to be Australian content), here’s some homegrown goss. Speaking of shoes, what better (segue)way to begin than with the [...]

Is the term “Unplugged” copyright of MTV yet? Or it doesn’t really matter, since the only decent thing that came out of that series was Nirvana’s best album? Regardless, enjoy Jack, Brendan and the rest of the crazy gang perform this super special acoustic version of the Consolers of the Lonely standout (and Benson’s best [...]

Glancing over our most recent posts lately, it’s come to my attention that The Strokes aren’t really as lazy as I once thought, and slowly but surely they seem to be peeling their asses off the bar stools at whatever hip joint is popular over in NYC right now, and getting their acts together. Julian [...]

Anyone else digging on the whole IKEA catalogue circa 1974 vibe as much as I am?
More ¿Cómo Te Llama? info than you can poke a burrito at, right here.

There’s gonna to be some changes going on ’round here, startin’ first of all with Weezer posts. There’s just too damn many of them! I’m putting an official end to them right now! Aw hell, they’re just too damn easy to do. Between them and the JW posts, it’s like shootin’ fish in a barrel. [...]

The Music’s new video for their upcoming single “Strength In Numbers” hit the web today and despite the fact that I just sat through it twice, I still can’t piece together any sort of storyline within the video. I have, however, written down a few basic keywords as I watched the video the second time, [...]
