Song of the Day #772: Party Dozen
It feels like only yesterday that we were talking to Kirsty from Party Dozen about their then upcoming second album, Pray For Party Dozen, and her experiences through the very first of many COVID lockdowns. Reading through that interview, I think there’s a sense of naivety on both our parts about COVID and what it […]
Song of the Day #771: Cash Savage And The Last Drinks
‘Push’, the new song from Cash Savage And The Last Drinks is today’s Song of The Day. And yet, that accolade just doesn’t seem enough. After all, if we we organised enough, there’d be another Song of the Day tomorrow, and the day after and the day after. Song of the Week? Yeah, maybe. And […]
Song of the Day #770 – Violent Soho
Last Thursday was a bit of a sad day for the Brisbane music scene. Firstly Collapse Board favourites, The Goon Sax announced that rather than head out to tour with Interpol and then do some shows opening for Pavement, they were instead going to break up. They’ve said there’ll be some final Australian dates before […]
Song of the Day #769 – Nice Biscuit
One of these days I will get around to updating my own blog site. No, I will… It was one of the things I thought might happen with COVID lockdowns and all the extra time I was going to get back by not commuting and with not being able to leave the house. This Is […]
Song of the Day #768 – Dead Man’s Bones
Song of the Day is typically about sharing something new or vaguely recent but today we’re going back to 2009. You can blame Cat Power, who has covered ‘Pa Pa Power‘ on her new album. As I was listening to her new ‘Covers’ album, I was alternating between her versions and the original versions. I’d […]
Song of the Day #767: Cat Power
I spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking/mildly obsessing about the lives of famous musicians. I mean if you’re someone like Paul McCartney or Bob Dylan, do you wake up in the morning and think to yourself, “Fuck me! I’m Paul McCartney, I was in the Beatles, I helped change pop culture and music forever […]
Song of the Day #765 – Wet Leg
Although we’re well into the second week of 2022, I think I can still just about get away with wishing everyone a Happy New Year. I think we all need 2022 to be a better year than the last couple of trips around the sun. As 2021 came to an end I really started to […]
Song of the Day #764: Georgia Maq
Casting my mind back to those carefree days at the back-end of 2019, I was struggling to decide on my favourite album of the year. All those end of year lists had been out for weeks/months but all I’d heard was a lot of ok albums and nothing that really stood out. Then very late […]
Song of the Day #763: Lee Ranaldo
At the very start, working from home seemed like it was going to be the dream. The Dream. Commuting time saved and converted into something more meaningful. The low productivity experiences of open plan office working changing to working set hours and finishing on time every day. Time to redesign this site, do more […]
Song of The Day #762: XTC
Truth be told, I haven’t listened to a lot of new music in the last year. I just haven’t had the energy for it. Life went from making myself as busy as possible to keep my day job when suddenly everything ground to a halt, more or less overnight, to working flat out, pretty much […]
