Eagulls – Eagulls (Deranged)
What? When did this come out again? Three months ago, you say? Oh WHO CARES. Gems like this ought to be dredged up again and again to save our souls from the marble-ogling masses. Why? ‘Cos I’m puh-SESSED. Fuck the headphones. FUCK ‘EM! This is 80-miles-per-hour music, (yeah,I said miles – SUCK IT, WORLD), the […]
The return of Everett True | 19. Alison’s Birthday
This is me, right now. This is Alison’s Birthday. Spot the connection? Thought you would. It’s pretty fucking obvious really. I AM ON FUCKING FIRE. The difference between you and me is I have never doubted my own taste, not once. As someone from New Zealand put it: Allisons birthday is pretty neat. Go Shawty, […]
The return of Everett True | 18. Cruising
Everything is awesome. Everything is cool. I don’t know. Maybe it’s the jetlag kicking in full-time. Maybe I’ve missed the jetlag and the enforced sleep deprivation (so fucking different to the insistent sleep deprivation you get for years without end as a parent). Maybe I’ve missed the hangovers, and the knowledge that nothing will feel […]
The return of Everett True | 17. The Lovely Wars
I’m in England. I have no idea what that means, or if it’s important. I am glad to be here, though. It reminds me of Wales right now, it’s so green and verdant. The Lovely Wars are from Wales. I have no idea what that means either, or if it’s important. I suspect it is, […]
Young Magic – Breathing Statues (Carpark/Stop Start)
Well. I hope you’ve enjoyed this long stretch of marvelous ladies that our fearless leader has unearthed for the good of mankind. (I know I have.) Now it’s time to thrust ourselves back into the center of the malaise that blights the airwaves these days. Young Magic represent EXACTLY what ails the misguided youth that […]
Singles Club: Dune Rats – Funny Guy & DZ Deathrays – Reflective Skull
Justin Edwards: After Kimbra and Lana Del Ray, I didn’t know where we should go next. The new La Roux is fairly unforgettable, I did think about Iggy Azalea as they released a video for ‘Problem’ (the song that she features on) and she’s been in the news over here (further proof that everyone copies […]
The return of Everett True | 16. Girlpool
It’s embarrassing, how little I’m aware of. It’s wonderful, how much great stuff is out there just waiting for that stone to be turned over. The trick? Trust folk, the right folk. Or, as Girlpool sing it, don’t get fucked by a fucked society. Here, go check the source. It’s The Cosmopolitans (a little) crossed with Teddy And […]
The return of Everett True | 15. Alice Boman
Today, a slight deviation from the source. Today, a recommendation from a most trusted friend. Today, a slight test for you. Try listening to these four versions, without hearing who they’re by. Now tell me, which do you prefer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU_2Ud9Q7Kk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j54Yk3xSYx4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BiTkdX0-I0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkpDDngb1Ew I ain’t sayin’ there’s a right or wrong way to answer this question. Stephen […]
The return of Everett True | 14. High Tension
Just some good old-fashioned low down and dirty parochial punk rock from Melbourne. I fuckin’ love it. (“Proper Music Journalism(TM)” © Everett True 2014). Imagine, all the fun I’d fuckin’ have if I ever left the fuckin’ house again. It probably increases your enjoyment if you’re familiar with the area but… well, fuck damn. You […]
Cassette of the Week #5 – White Poppy
(Well, actually, if you want to be politically correct about it, this is actually the cassette of last month, but Gold Flake Paint wouldn’t have it. But you don’t mind, do you? Of course you don’t.) There’s a shadowy past oft forgotten by post-punk auteurs, a gray zone of specters and light in a hazy […]
