Counting Crows hit Tivoli with attitude | and 12 more metaphors involving dogs
The Collapse Board editors enjoyed local paper, the Courier-Mail‘s coverage of the recent Cunting Crows Brisbane show. We did feel, however, that the reviewer didn’t go far enough with his dog theme. Here are 20 more suggestions for the next time Mr O’Brien fancies venturing out-of-doors. The audience smelled like a wet dog The front row waggled their […]
The return of Everett True | 144. Low Life
Well. I must say. This is the one. All those nasty secrets you kept squirreled away inside of you, staring at the girls in their big leather boots, dreaming of the day you might be grown-up enough so they can beat the shit out of you. Eighties-Track Versace says, Speaking of Rihanna – one of […]
The return of Everett True | 143. Skating Polly
Some music gets it. Some music doesn’t get it. This gets it. The above song by Skating Polly reminds me more of Throwing Muses than the usual comparison points thrown their way. Wait a moment, please. These stepsisters have released three albums, and the three albums vary a fair whack and so I don’t want […]
Your three favourite Buzzcocks songs | a thoroughly scientific survey
I’ve never properly attempted to write about Buzzcocks. I don’t want to try. I believe their first three albums (+ the three bootlegs I bought at the time, on vinyl) are peerless. I believe their initial run of singles (+ the final three which never really bothered the charts) are exemplary, manifestos to stay alive […]
Has the stereotypical female gender role really disappeared? | Students on Gender
Beyoncé – If I Were A Boy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWpsOqh8q0M The first song I think about when it comes to gender. I know some may say it’s about sexism/feminism/equality, but when I first heard it, it made me feel a little less odd for sometimes wishing that I could be a boy, too, ‘even just for a […]
The return of Everett True | 142. The Prodigy ft. Sleaford Mods
Some of us always heard The Prodigy behind them, in the rotten silences, in the beer-twatted halls. Everyone needs a fucking standard-bearer sometimes, covered in piss and sweat and baccy stains. It’s an answer to the strangled liberalism that binds so many in useless knots of discontentment. Prodigy are punks, from what I understand by […]
The return of Everett True | 141. The Ethical Debating Society
Time passes. Music is for everyone. Music is for inspiration. Music is passion. Music is everyone. Music is fire. Music is life. Music is change. Music is motivation. Music is magic. Music is. Music is unsettling. Music is anger. Music is a rhythm. Music is. The finest song on the debut album New Sense from The Ethical Debating Society […]
Kurt Cobain died 21 years ago – so here are 21 of his best songs (with actual songs attached)
I love livenirvana.com sometimes. Many thanks to John George, and also Mattia Cuda, for filling in the blanks. I’ve altered a couple of suggestions to make it work. 1. That one most people know if they know more than one Nirvana song 2. That one that ‘changed the world’ (NOTE: ought to place this lower down […]
Kurt Cobain died 21 years ago – so here are 21 of his best songs
1. That one most people know if they know more than one Nirvana song 2. That one that ‘changed the world’ (NOTE: ought to place this lower down the list) 3. Some obscure one from In Utero to show we know our stuff 4. Some even obscurer one from the ‘rarities’ box set to placate the […]
The return of Everett True | 140. Beverly
I’m feeling fuzzy this evening. The meds must rilly be kickin’ in. Fuzzy and warm and like I’d been out huggin’ with the ladies. This morning I was feeling fuzzy too. I keep havin’ this same dream about a house, an apartment – with some weird secret passage that leads over the roofs, and an empty […]
