So after a few days off down the coast, I know this entry is popping up late; but on Sunday evening, I accomplished one more of my “band goals”, with a night at the Tivoli. This entry is being composed on the long train back to Brisbane… so excuse some grammatical errors, which I have […]

So last night, I went to another show. If I was to give you clues as to the show, I would probably say: 1) The performer absolutely wails on guitar. 2) The performer has probably the most pure voice you’ll ever hear. Able to leap and soar in ways uncommon in contemporary music. 3) The […]
This will be quite a quickie, but I’ve just seen that the latest Sun Kil Moon album, “April“, is now streaming over at Myspace, for the next two days only. Sun Kil Moon – Mark Kozelek If you haven’t heard any tracks off the forthcoming “April” album, head over that way and take a listen. […]

Well, for the second time in as many days (check out the first regarding the Nine Inch Nails, “Ghosts”, here), I’m linking to it again. Why? Because The Charlatans have come through on their word, releasing their entire new album, […]
Nine Inch Nails have just released Ghosts I-IV I’m not sure how I didn’t catch whiff of this earlier, but Trent Reznor has done it again. Despite poor results from his “pay what you want for it” release with Saul Williams (“The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of NiggyTardust“, which was available for download last year), […]
