In preparation for the Yuletide season, Coldplay is streaming a cover version of the Pretenders song, “2000 miles” on their website, along with the above note. While Chris Martin might not be as attractive as Chrissie Hynde, they do a great version. Normally, I’m not a fan of Christmas songs (apart from exceptions such as […]
Sonuvabitch. I’m sorry, I hate short posts as much as anyone; but you have to go and read this article about Led Zeppelin’s show last night. It is also important to note that Zeppelin left the building without making any reference to their future together, if there is one — no “See you next year!” […]
So on Sunday, I managed to score tickets to Xavier Rudd’s “White Moth Tour” at the Gold Coast Convention Centre; as usual, Xavier was fantastic. His set was perhaps more aggressive than I’ve seen in the past, but that only urged the crowd on all the more. However, this post is not about Xavier Rudd; […]

It might take me a few days to get all of this information sorted into something slightly passing as manageable… so, in the meantime, for your auditory and visual pleasure, I […]
Ohad Rein is one of those people who simply exemplifies music. You know the type I mean. That person you know who seems to be living their life according to a different song. Whose every movement seems to be a chord adding to the inevitable crescendo. Everyone knows someone like Ohad. That doesn’t make it […]
Those poor ripped-off artists. Remember when every other post here was about artists allowing digital downloads of their works, for however much you wanted to pay? There have been mixed reports as to how some of those experiments have been going. Did you donate any money for Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” when it came out? No? […]
