Song of the day – 222: Mohammad Nouri
Folk misunderstand me. Often. I am way more thrilled to be updated about Kevin Pierce’s blog – this man, more than most, ought to employed by record companies as a compiler (“World’s coolest bass player, and what a groove,” Kevin remarks about the entry I’ve just linked to) – or sent a collection of 60s […]
Plan B Magazine #0.5 – What happens when the hipsters no longer believe in unicorns?
Slightly taken aback by the number of re-Tweets about this series, so I thought I’d post the second issue up now rather than wait a few days. (Once again, if you can’t be bothered to read all the words that follow, the link to the download is at the bottom.)
kyü + Pikelet live @ The Old Museum, 29.10.10
I wrote a review of kyü’s recent Brisbane show for The Vine. You can find it here. Here’s the original version: slightly expanded, but not so well-edited.
Plan B Magazine #0
OK. Here’s the first in the series. I’m still trying to figure out the best way of doing this, so apologies if any of this seems clumsy. I’m planning on putting these up twice a week until we’ve got the entire run of Plan B Magazine back up online. Any suggestions on how to streamline […]
Song of the day – 221: Atomic Suplex/Theee Bat
I have it on good authority that Atomic Suplex are the best live band in the UK right now.
Song of the day – 220: Foetus
There’s a new Foetus album out, Hide. It’s nasty. It’s layered, with claustrophobia and a refusal to be brought down by the rotting last days of the previous American president. It’s orchestrated, all over the place. By orchestrated, I mean crushing great string sections to match the pummeling great industrial beats. It’s symphonic. Fuck yeah. […]
Song of the day – 219: Sleepyard
I’m listening to this, and I keep forgetting what it is I’m listening to. I keep thinking it’s some great old Pentecostal blues from Ray Charles, or someone (perhaps left over from yesterday’s Song of the Day entry). You can totally imagine him down on his knees in front of the congregation.
Song of the day – 218: Ill Ease (free downloads!)
Ill Ease. Great name. Great band. Like the best motorik mash-up you still ain’t never heard.
A couple of observations about the ARIA Awards 2010
Congratulations to Temper Trap, winners of Most Popular Australian Single. A single so popular that it’s won the award two whole years after it was released
Song of the day – Bottom 10 Songs
You disrespect the Frogman and you disrespect my family. You have been warned.
