Title: Electric Skeleton

Club NME

Published on Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:25:34

As some of you may know, I work at a new agents. In between selling dirty magazines to old men and being asked directions to everywhere within a 50km radius, I get to read magazines during my lunch break. As you can imagine, I spend most of my time flicking through the music magazines. While read more..

Today I have two covers of Hot Chip’s And I Was A Boy From School to share with you. Both are from Triple J’s Like a Version segment. British India are one of those bands that I should probably like, but don’t. I don’t mean that in an all-the-other bloggers-are-doing-it kind of way, but in the read more..

Big Day Out 2010 – Flemington Racecourse 26/01/10

Published on Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:38:46

This year was my first Big Day Out and it will probably be my last. It’s not because of the bands or price of entry. It’s not even because of the dodgy festival toilets. It was because of the crowd. While you’re bound to come across a few idiots in a crowd of 50,000 people, read more..

Update

Sorry about neglecting this blog for the last couple of weeks. Things have been a bit mental, but in a good way. I have been a bit busy with the radio show which was great fun. For those of you who have never been on radio, it’s a bit like this: You get to the very small read more..

The Tote Closure: The Beginning of the End?

Published on Sat, 16 Jan 2010 23:19:26

Earlier this week it was annouced that  The Tote, an iconic Melbourne venue would shut its doors for good because of Victoria’s new liquor licensing laws. While I can’t weigh into the argument with my own experiences with the venue because I’m still too young to get in, it’s extremely worrying that venues which support local read more..

On The Radio

I’m going to be on the radio! That’s right folks, now you can hear me ramble on about music rather than just read it online. Expect lots of indie music, rambling about how awesome Colin Meloy is and more unprofessionalism that you can poke a stick at. So how can you listen to this (epic) radio show? If you’re read more..

Elvis’ 75th Birthday

Published on Fri, 08 Jan 2010 08:09:56

When I was four or five my Dad would come home from work, put  on his best of Elvis CD  and dance with me and my sister. It is because of my Dad’s bad dancing skills and Elvis that I leant what return to sender meant, that suede was kind of material used to make read more..

I was so busy getting worked up about Contra that I almost forgot it was Tuesday. Gah, I think I’m turning into an indie kid. Anyway, I have two covers for today because as I mentioned in my last post, my internet is being shitty and I don’t plan on spending all night uploading songs. Considering my read more..

Vampire Weekend Stream Contra!

Is anyone else rediculously excited about the upcoming relase of Vampire Weekend’s second album? I know I certainly am. It’s gotten to the point where the minute I read something about Contra I want to jump up and down like crazy 17 year old indie fan. Oh, wait… For those of you who are also counting down read more..
