Things have been pretty quiet around here gang *cue rolling tumbleweed* and I’ll tell you all why: end of semester essays. I promise that this post will not be in any way a bitch-fest about tertiary institutes and their requirements and such, I just wanted to make my absence clear to you all. In short, [...]

If you’re like me and spend most evenings rolling in piles of your own money, then you’re going to love this!
More than three years after the release of their double album, Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, Eels are set to release it again. This time, as a super deluxe four-disc vinyl box set. As well [...]

You read it right folks. Sydney’s very own living/breathing proof that the rawk can still be delivered, Sparkadia, are forging their driving instructor’s signatures in all of their RTA log books in order to head out on the road in support of their debut album, Postcards. With 120+ assisted-driving hours and some choice musical cuts [...]

How are you all doing? This morning saw the announcement of next year’s unofficial-official “too cool for school” music festival, the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival. I wasn’t cool enough to attend this year’s, but I’ve been picking up some really trendy counterculture/fashion/design mags over the past few months so I think I’m ready to give [...]

About twenty minutes ago I decided to check my email and noticed a newsletter from the beret-wearin’ folks at Camille’s official website with promises of new tour dates. Needless to say, I clicked on the link , and voilà; Camille will be heading to Australia in late January. “Great, something I can post about”, I [...]

That crazy Canuck over at A Reminder is doing exactly what his blog suggests and reminding us that Fleet Foxes are supposed to be in the country for some New Years Eve party times as part of the Falls Festival. Thankfully for those of us who don’t fancy dirt, sleeping on the ground, porta-showers [...]

Yeah, whatsup you dirty mouthed children? A-dawg here with the lowdown, and I’m telling you it’s about the right time to start getting real damn excited - and I got explicit reasons why. Sydney’s very own curator of cut ‘n’ paste good vibes, the maestro of mash-up madness, the happy man with the Mac - [...]

Regina Spektor joined Ben Folds on stage on Conan O’Brien yesterday and not only provided some damn fine backing vocals for the track “You Don’t Know Me”, but also wowed audiences with her amazing ability of squatting awkwardly every time it was her turn to sing.
While I’ve never been a huge fan of the [...]

Another day, another completely uninteresting performance video. This time, with added goats! It seems the forty or so members of Fleet Foxes got together recently and decided to film a totally mundane video for “He Doesn’t Know Why”, the second single off their self titled album. Don’t get me wrong, the album is amazing… but [...]

Quite enjoying being in the cavernous depths (metaphorically) of mid-semester break and all, I made some kind of promise to myself to treat these leisurely two weeks away from a tertiary institute as much as a real holiday as possible. This meant: no showering, no changing clothes, no wearing clothes, no sponsoring starving children, no [...]
