The Bawdies Vs. The Basics double headlining tour; a tour that we’ve all seen previously at the Hopetoun Hotel back in 2007, but only thought would happen again in our wildest dreams. Somehow, those dreams came true, and Thursday night saw The Bawdies rip up the stage once again alongside The Basics; this time at [...]

I’ll keep this short and sweet before I spaz out with glee all over my keyboard: NO AGE AND JAY REATARD WILL BE PLAYING A BRONER™ INDUCING, DOUBLE HEADLINE SHOW AT THE GAELIC CLUB AND TO A LESSER EXTENT, THE CORNER HOTEL!
Ok, so I know I’m kind of late with this one, but I’ve honestly [...]

Is it a boy? Is it a man? No! It’s Ben Kweller, the perpetually youthful man-child wonder. While it seems like only yesterday Kweller released his last LP (cleverly titled Ben Kweller), Stereogum reported today that LP number four is already on the way and shall be known as Changing Horses. To top it all [...]

You better believe it folks, the world’s most consistent blogger, Ryan Adams, and his merry band of Cardinals are returning to our Great Southern Land for a bunch of shows in early 2009. I’ve been giving Cardinology a big work out lately and while I haven’t found it as instantly appealing as Easy Tiger (or [...]

Bonnie “Prince” Billy slash Will Oldham slash “that creepy bald dude” is set to release another album in March ‘09. The album will be Oldham’s 27th studio release in the last four months* and will apparently be titled Beware. Sufjan’s got nothin’ on this guy.
Here’s a tracklisting for y’all:
1. Beware Your Only Friend
2. You [...]

Ry-ry dropped into the BBC this week in ye olde UK, in support of his latest Cardinals endorsed LP, Cardinology. Naturally, this meant performing some of that rock and roll music for the listeners of the kingdom who was once the globe’s super power. Somehow, maybe because he’s American, Ry-ry dropped the quintessential dad rock [...]

The Raconteurs have a new video out which, if it wasn’t in colour, I’d say has Dead Man written all over it. Period costumes, forests and a very Johnny Depp looking Jack White in a big ol’ hat. What more can you ask for?
Autumn de Wilde directed this fabulous video for the Consolers of the [...]

The days are long, and the nights are longer in the world of a self-proclaimed Weezer fanboy. Sometimes, the online Weezer community has to go for whole minutes without a single piece of information being posted online. MINUTES I TELL YOU.
Somehow I was away from my laptop for a period longer than five minutes today, [...]

I was sitting around trying to think of ways to distract myself from doing my end of semester assessment task (read: “not” masturbating) until I remembered about this website. Yeah I know - I have a website! So after remembering my login and password (fifteen minutes later) I was just about ready to write a [...]

I was going to say something about this video. Maybe it was going to be witty, or somewhat insightful. Anyway, this comment on MySpace TV kind of made forget what I was thinking about. I’ll try and recreate the whole experience for you below:
