The return of Everett True | 125. Hinds
I have no idea if they’ll remain this good the whole time the four ladies, the two ladies, are together. It seems near unbelievable they could be. But there again, there’s Kim Deal. If you don’t get this video on any level, if you do not understand this music just one nano-second of a nano-second, if you do […]
Young Guv – Ripe 4 Luv (Slumberland)
You know that kick-in-the-head moment? You know, when you hear this modern song, and it reminds you of something dear, but you can’t put your finger on it? And then you spend a morning with an old musical chum, for a breather from the newness, and when you plunge back in to the new stuff, […]
Song of the Day #696: Bad Daddies (w/ BONUS)
So. I’m really fucking tired of hearing folks ask questions like “has music stopped moving forward?”. It implies we only care about music as an art form, and that innovation is the only way to measure its merits. Fuck that. We also listen to music for visceral pleasure, to establish our differences, to distinguish our […]
Do not mess with the critic, deutschbags. The critic is always right
Here is the opening paragraph of what I wrote on Collapse Board, the night before we ran a review of Foo Fighters live at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane. I do not believe a bad live review affects a band’s sales or reputation. Certainly not a band the size of Foo Fighters, able to play Brisbane’s Suncorp […]
Well done knob gobbler | The homophobic wit and wisdom of Foo Fighters fans
All the following are genuine comments left on a recent Foo Fighters live review. Doubtless there are more to come. I will add them when I see fit. Were you at the same gig with the other 40,000 people? From the looks of your picture you had a pretty crappy seat, I’d be angry about that […]
Love Of Diagrams – Blast (Bedroom Suck Records)
As I sit down to write this, I am acutely aware that I’m looking at one of Collapse Board’s own: Melbourne’s offspring, Love of Diagrams who – since the early noughties – have cemented their position on the city’s live music circuit with their disengaged melancholy and bracingly loud riffs. But whilst England, for example, […]
The return of Everett True | 124. The Furrs
I enjoy having no frame of reference. Well, little. This is from a tradition of music that I have little familiarity with. Having lived here in Brisbane for close on seven years now, I am of course aware of certain musical irregularities in this country’s past. Sharpies. The boogie scene that spawned AC/DC and the […]
Sometimes forgettable, always horrible… Foo Fighters live in Brisbane
By Milton Fiennes Foo Fighters Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Foo Fighters bum rush the stage to tumultuous applause from an awfully dressed, overweight crowd. They break into the first of many forgettable songs that only have 3 chords the entire time. There’s a 60-year-old guitarist nobody addresses. He looks like he’s won a competition to fuck […]
In Photos: The Courtneys + Hinds + The Furrs + Soviet X-Ray Record Club @ Black Bear Lodge, 19.02.2015
The Courtneys and Hinds play a joint show at Black Bear Lodge, with support from The Furrs and Soviet X-Ray Record Club.
What I did tonight instead of seeing Foo Fighters play live
First, I do not believe a bad live review affects a band’s sales or reputation. Certainly not a band the size of Foo Fighters, able to play Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium (capacity 52, 500). If anything, a bad review helps shore up the fans – they can unite in their condemnation of the idiot fuckhead’s opinion, possibly […]
