Song of the day – 367: Naked (free download + essay on music criticism)

Presumably, the idea is to make yourself so boring when writing about music that your reader is forced to go and listen to the music in question as relief therapy.

attempted clarification on the triple j ‘sexism’ blog entry

Is there anyone out there brave enough to stand up and admit something’s wrong – and do something about it?

sexism etc – triple j and the hottest 100

Shouldn’t the triple j slogan be “We love music (made by men)”?

Song of the day – 365: Tunabunny (a love song to Athens GA, part three)

The streets are wide and paved with grey. The grass is green unless it’s burnt or isn’t. The costumes are cheap. The rent is low rise.

Spot the difference – Nirvana and PJ Harvey

“Is this Polly Harvey? It’s the only song of hers I know.”

Song of the day – 364: Green Thrift Grocery (a love song to Athens GA, part two)

There’s such energy here. That alone should make you fall head over heels hopelessly for this. And a killer melody, and singing.

Song of the day – 363: Supercluster (a love song to Athens GA, part one)

This sound is so glorious! It’s like if (early) B-52s and Pylon remained the best-known bands from Athens instead of … goddammit, what was that band’s name again? Coldplay?
