The return of Everett True | 131. Gerald Keaney and the Gerald Keaneys
Today, I reviewed the new Vacant Valley compilation for The Guardian. Hopefully, that will be appearing online in a day or two. For now, though… well, you can think of this as an advance taste. A teaser, if you will. There are 23 tracks on the compilation, it merits four stars out of five (I am […]
KANYE WEST | THE CASES FOR AND AGAINST
By David Stubbs FOR: Every couple of thousand years or so, a man is born whose sheer artistic brilliance replenishes the continents, girdles the earth and shines upon us quite literally with the force of a second sun. They say Jesus Christ may have been such a man but there is some doubt about that. […]
Gender stereotyping begins at home | the worst video of 2015 so far
I don’t like being in agreement with everyone else, but… wow. Just wow. It’s like the Christian far right in America have finally got the pop icon they so richly deserve, and we’re all travelling back to the 1950s on a shiny new time machine back to the age of the nuclear family where men […]
RIP Toxic Lipstick
Australian music is a much less colourful place with the news that Toxic Lipstick have decided to call it day. The sad goodbye came last Friday via a post on their Facebook page: So tocky lippy is set 2 fadeaway, just like that awkward memory of some loser tryin to feel u up on formal night. […]

Jessie J launches her 2015 Australian tour with a show at Brisbane’s Eatons Hills Hotel.
What I did the other night instead of seeing Jessie J live
I wrote a tribute to a man I never met – Daevid Allen from Gong/Soft Machine. I tried to make it as honest and true to life (which means injecting humour) as I could. I spoke to my close friend Mike Howlett first, as he’s played bass in Gong for three zillion years. I tried […]
Body-slamming through the tears | Four tracks with the Versace stamp of approval
By Eighties-Print Versace Four tracks with the Versace stamp of approval I think you should hear. b00bjob – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc_MxrYkTDo With a rap landscape that’s truly reached its quota in terms of braggadocio (no disrespect but DAMN, if I’m driven to reflect on my bank account balance or sex moves one more time…) b00bjob’s ‘https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc_MxrYkTDo’ plays out […]
An Antidote to Boredom 1 | “A young, Aussie, Cetaphil-wearing Kim Gordon prancing around with a microphone”
By Alice Rezende In a stampede of self-confidence and frenzied admiration, I told a writer on Collapse Board that I was going to link him some “awesome bands!!!” that he could write about or store in his memory-pocket for future “this band sounds like this band” obligatory euphemisms. Next thing I knew, he titled this article […]
The return of Everett True | 130. Dead Electric
It’s a thin line. I’m not sure I want to quantify it; I have a feeling it keeps moving. Association. That’s what I’d like to talk about here. No, not association. The way the line keeps moving. I’m not the person I was in 1993. I am the person I was. I’m not the person […]
