Bo Ningen (Japanese for “Stick People”) are getting all kinds of attention right now. There’s a lot of hype. Pitchfork is involved. I know what you want to hear though, since you’re here reading this instead of just looking at Metacritic or letting Pandora curate your listening choices: is the hype deserved? I’ve been listening […]
48 female-led pop/punk rock recommendations from Facebook
I ask this question on Facebook: Can anyone recommend me some female-led indie/punk rock from 2014? And I get the following in response… As with yesterday’s post, all of these come recommended – i.e. this isn’t just some random list of female-led pop/punk rock – but if they have stars next to their names it means I’m […]
Liars – Mess (Warp)
TAKE MY PANTS OFF SMELL MY SOCKS USE MY SOCKS EAT MY FACE OFF Okie doke, boys. Picture the scene – it’s one of those dance clubs that you’d find when you look up “nightlife” in the dictionary. The ones in the movies that epitomize the corrupt and sleazy urbanites, with flashing neon crowded dance […]

Your favourite three Raincoats songs | a thoroughly scientific survey

Surely it could be expanded to other great bands’ back catalogues? The obvious place to start was with The Raincoats. Here are the results, in order (just typing […]
In Words: Cults @ The Zoo, 06.05.2014
Back in Collapse Board’s glory days of 2011 we ran 10 reviews of Cult’s debut album. It didn’t go down very well with a number of people and I can remember one nameless Brisbane-based street press music writer (nameless more because I can’t actually remember who actually said, rather than to protect their good name […]
SOLIDARITY TIME – Word Up for Joanna Gruesome
Today, kids, we are going to stand up and applaud. So Drowned in Sound interviewed Alanna McArdle lately. It’s an innocuous, friendly chat really, with ordinary journo-to-band questions about songwriting, live performances vs. recording, “the volatile state of guitar music” (which both interviewer and interviewee agreed was a load of BS), the huge corporate sham […]
In Photos: DZ Deathrays + Palms + Foam @ The Zoo, 09.05.2014

What I did tonight instead of going to see Jimmy Tait play live
Everett True details what he did tonight instead of watching aspirational, ‘authentic’ Melbourne bar band (warm fire, cosy companionship) Jimmy Tait play at the Powerhouse. I watched Eurovision, of course. Now, that’s a result! I rather enjoyed this entry, too. And this one. And this one. I drank deeply from the bong of middle-age – the Vicks […]
