The return of Everett True | 113. Adi Ulmansky
We had a discussion on Collapse Board recently, about whether our preference for women making a more immediate/emotional type of music helps propagate stereotypes of women in music. No. No, I don’t think it does. Professor Ben Green puts it like this: A reader might see that Collapse Board has certain interests. One of those interests is […]

Le Thug – Place Is EP (Song, By Toad)
Quick. Hold me tight. The artificial fog drifts closer. Now here’s a little-known tangent about me – before I succumbed to the drain-drip bloodbath underworld of what the rest of the Western world calls “industrial”, the closest tune to rain-soaked, smokestack factories that I knew was the Police’s “Invisible Sun”. It sounded like the blackest […]
The return of Everett True | 112. Kali Uchis
She got it going on. She got it going on. She chill. She retro, in her sleek shiny future-modernist way. She chill. She got two mixtapes, 30+ songs for immediate download. Free, buzz. She got it goin’ on. She got connection with Tyler, The Creator but we got no issues. She from Columbia. She chill. Listen to […]
When nice people make horrible music | the collected Facebook Foo Fighters vitriol
This band certainly attracts a lot of opinions. I asked the question Why do you love/hate Foo Fighters? on Facebook. Many people responded. Here are some edited highlights. The Don Henley of grunge. Middle-aged men worshipping at the feet of Grohl while he bangs out Sugar rip-off riffs. That’s just piss weak FM radio dribble. The music […]
Animal Daydream – Easy Pleasures EP (Jigsaw)
You realize what a lucky bastard you are, don’t you? Well, you should. Exclusive EP streams normally aren’t our bag. I had a nice intro written here. Something about the golden days of American radio, how that was half a lifetime ago for me, how radical even James Taylor sounded to a kid who listened […]
The return of Everett True | 111. Law
Late night listening. Spooked. Stunning live, no doubt. You wouldn’t know what the hell had happened. I might leave this to your imagination. Too many conflicting images. Too many sounds occuring simultaneously. A time portal. A trap. Multiple possibilities, stunted and caught, trapped, in the headlight of time. You and me, sister. You and me. […]
Wildhoney – Sleep Through It (Deranged/Forward!)
By Liz Ham I can’t help but judge a book by its cover, a wine by its label and a band by its name… which is probably why I blindly chose this album for my first album review. Wildhoney sound like they should. I knew I would like them. Not because itʼs the sound of ʻnowʼ, […]
Xylouris White – Goats, and live in January 2015 at Howler, Brunswick
Words: Boris van de Legende Melbourne’s had a long-term love affair with the Dirty Three, and a long history of Greek migration – the largest Greek population outside of Athens they used to say, or some such rubbish. Anyway, there’s lots of Greeks – I’m married to one, for example; I live in Melbourne, so the […]
