It’s not much…

Wowee, after, what?, three months or something, I still don’t really have much to post about. Whether that’s a finger off the pulse, I don’t know. There really haven’t been any albums released that are giving me a buzz, but that’s not to say things haven’t been released, just nothing that I’m anticipating. That said, [...]

Sooooo slack

Yes, we’ve all disappeared for a while. But just imagine we’ve all been stuck in an endless cycle of parties and silly season festivities, unable to break out to post. There are many things to discuss (album of the year, song of the year), but we’ll ring in the new year and then start smashing [...]

Aussies at SXSW

The 2010 attendees for South by Southwest have been released and 29 Australian bands will be attending the showcase event thus far. It reads like a veritable who’s who of the up and comers on the Aussie music scene, bar perhaps one… Announced so far: Art vs Science; Beaches; Bliss & Eso; The Blow Waves; [...]

Pearl Jam – Backspacer tour (Sydney)

Sydney Football Stadium November 22, 2009 “People had told me this kind of heat isn’t meant to start for another six weeks.” Eddie Vedder stated the obvious thoughts of everyone in the Stadium, sweltering as the mercury slowly dropped from a scorching 40 degrees as the evening wore on. I don’t think you’ll find complaining [...]

Hope is for the Hopers – Philadelphia Grand Jury

I just wanna get out my stick and ride it, such is the feeling that oozes out of Philadelphia Grand Jury’s debut album Hope is for the Hopers. This Sydney duet (a much different sounding duet to Elton John and Kiki Dee, or Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, this one is comprised of Berkfinger and [...]

Facebook angst

If you’re like me (chances are you’re not) this song will reach you on another level, which is the Facebook-has-the-ability-to-connect-you-with-far-too-many-people-for-your-liking level. That is, that there are some people you weren’t talking to before Facebook for a reason, and that reason still stands even in our fast-paced, social networking-based world. So Kate Miller-Heidke makes a valid [...]

Homebake Second Announcement

This morning was the second announcement for Homebake 2009, and I’ve got to say it lacked the big name punch I was after. I was one of the few people who wasn’t overly thrilled with the first announcement, but bought a ticket for a couple of reasons, the first being a lot of friends were [...]

iBig Day Out 2.0

Well, after dramas and dilemmas with ticket sales for the Sydney Big Day Out 2010 this morning, the organisers have announced a second show to be held on the Saturday (more appealing to many people, I’m sure) and going on sale on Monday. Someone rightly pointed out that it all seems a bit convenient that [...]

In The Club – Seduce ‘n’ Destroy

I did a little pointer to this group not long ago, and their debut album came out a few weeks ago. Now, while reviewing this album may be futile, as it’s not available for purchase on iTunes and after a couple of days of searching I eventually found where to buy it. It looked like [...]

Vampire Weekend ready to follow up

Second albums make me nervous. If they come out to fast I get really nervous, but if they take too long they can lose momentum from their big first release. Well, a couple of days ago Vampire Weekend announced their second album Contra will be released on January 12, 2010. I think I feel a [...]
