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 […]
Not one… but TWO open letters to the music industry
This blog entry is long overdue. After intense consultation with the other Collapse Board editors (not easy when there are so many, spread so far and wide), I was inspired to write it after reading photographer Pat Pope’s brave, discussion-provoking post on Louder Than War, An Open Letter to Garbage – which I wholeheartedly support. Think […]
The return of Everett True | 139. WetDog
I found this on the Upset The Rhythm homepage. You might want to give it a listen, cousins. It might not excite you. I don’t care, really. It makes me happy, bounce to the ceiling. It makes me happy, sit on my glasses. It makes me happy, sprawled across grass. It makes me happy, search out […]
The launch of Tidal | three times chicken feed is still chicken feed
Who would have thought that incredibly rich pop stars are that concerned about becoming even more incredibly rich? Welcome to the beginning of a new era. Experience the difference. #TIDALforALL I wonder where they think the money is coming from. I wonder if they even realise the way they’ve marketed their campaign like some right-on charity launch […]
The return of Everett True | 138. Brainbeau
A message from Kat Martian, who I don’t really know but wish I did. Nice to see you again the other day(1). Lauren being on set was a nice touch(2). More female content(3)! I realised later you very possibly didn’t recall me from other occasions we’ve met(4)? I was in the g20 complaints choir last […]
The return of Everett True | 137. Fazerdaze
This is one lady. This is from New Zealand. This is the soundtrack of me drifting aimlessly. This reminds me of why mystery. This is all those rainy afternoons. This is beauty. It’s beyond me why it ain’t being hailed alongside lesser names. Don’t make sense. Beautiful voice, drenched in ennui and beauty and… this […]
The return of Everett True | 136. The Friendsters
Missed them at Happyfest. I had me a good time there, but… now? I feel like a right tart. Goddamn it. I left straight after Bent’s set to catch the bus. Fucking bus. I should’ve walked the 9.6km back to The Gap instead. It would only’ve taken around 100 minutes. Fucktard. Not only did I […]
“Being a sexually empowered woman doesn’t make you a slut or a slag” | Songs related to sexuality
First, define what you mean by Sexuality in relation to popular music. Now proceed… (All choices made by students in KMB003, QUT) Anna Calvi – Suzanne And I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIDj0SVWeBU I’d talk about Anna Calvi for Gender but due to the song topic I’d put it as Sexuality. It’s a very strong, passionate and confident message […]
Bent + Raus + California Girls @ The Haunt, Brisbane, 27.03.15
This is part of Happyfest, a fundraiser for 4ZZZ. 4ZZZ is a Brisbane institution, a community radio station that served as a focal point for dissent during the Joh Bjelke-Petersen years. The fact it’s taken me seven years to make contact – I finally performed live on Matt Kennedy’s show on Wednesday as part of BLMW15 – goes […]
