A plug for a show I will never see. You bastards.
It’s like they threw an Everett True party and deliberately didn’t invite me.
Song of the day – 438: Melody Dog
Whirligigs were whirled. Recorders were blown down. Hearts were melted.
Scott Creney reacts to Pitchfork’s reaction to M.I.A.’s Finger
Ryan Schreiber should be, if not ashamed, then more than a little embarrassed at the moment. Calling someone an asshole for raising a middle finger to a Super Bowl camera when you run a website and a music festival that has no problem promoting songs about rape, misogyny, and homophobia is empty and pathetic.
Song of the day – 437: Prinzhorn Dance School (+ 5 wonderful obscure old school ‘awkward pop’ videos)
Love the silences between the vocals. Sure, we’re talking Gla*o Babies.
R.I.P. Brendon Annesley (Negative Guest List)
I’d been well aware of Negative Guest List as a genius ‘zine with shitloads of enthusiasm and energy and attitude for quite a while now.
Oh mercy. The shortlist for the AMP 2011 has just been announced.
Cue familiar back-slapping noises and cries of “haven’t we done well, chaps?”
Everett True and the Gender Obsession
Yes, he does say that there are good male musicians/bands. But it feels to me like they nearly have to prove themselves worthy of consideration
Song of the day – 436: Ane Brun
No words today. Just music.
Song of the day – 435: The Hot Toddies (+ free mix tape!)
Bubblegum pop with a sharp tongue that tells of wet dreams and surf paradises
