Song of the Day 169: Tropical Fuck Storm
One of the many things I spend far too much time thinking about (I really should write a list and see if there’s any consensus or if it’s just me) is the ‘side project’. It’s funny how musicians all have ‘projects’ now. What perplexes me as a non-musician type (well, I can bash out a […]

This part is where […]

Da Brat) Never even knew this song till I saw Beyoncé perform it last year, surrounded by clouds […]

Imagine, all the fun I’d fuckin’ have if I ever left the fuckin’ house again. It probably increases your enjoyment if you’re familiar with the area but… well, fuck damn. You […]

The annual gathering of angry men with tattoos and long hair (i.e. Soundwave) starts this weekend with the Brisbane leg at the RNA Showgrounds on Saturday.
