Phoenix are back… Listztomania (Video)

April 17, 2009

Aah, Phoenix. They’ve come a long way since their break through as the backing band in a remix of Air’s, “Kelly Watch the Stars“, but I knew from the first time that I heard “If I Ever Feel Better” from their “United” album that this was a band with whom I would have a life-long [...]

Kurt Cobain – It’s been 15 years…

April 6, 2009

Bugger. I missed posting this yesterday, but in the United States, it still is yesterday, if you know what I mean… so I thought I would post anyway.

To everyone who has emailed me…

April 6, 2009

To everyone who has emailed me in the last week to tell me about your band/client/new release/gig, sorry for the lack of replies. I’ve been away the last few days at the 2009 SMX Conference in Sydney, and haven’t had a chance to check personal emails. It will be a few days before I get [...]

Easily the coolest thing I’ve seen today: Rivers Cuomo, “Can’t Stop Partying”

March 18, 2009

In fact, I’m calling it quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen all month. Rivers Cuomo stopped by Stereogum late last year to appear on their “Decomposed Acoustic” sessions… and man, is it awesome.
Never one to do things by the book, Rivers brought along some guests. As Stereogum says:
A few weeks ago he put out [...]

Coldplay, live at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre

March 10, 2009

On Sunday night, I was lucky enough to see “superband”, Coldplay, perform live at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
Now, I’m going to throw this right out there. Even when uber-popular music blogs like Stereogum feature bands like Coldplay, there always seems to be a massive backlash from the “Hipster Runoff” type kids. The ones who don’t [...]
