If you missed MUTEMATH on today’s “Like A Version” on Triple J, then you missed out on 4 minutes worth of pure, pure music. I know that sounds an obvious statement, but I well and truly mean it. It’s not often these days that you hear pure, unbridled music. And holy shit, I loved it. […]
Really enjoyed this morning’s “Like A Version” from Ball Park Music, covering “Do You Realise” by the Flaming Lips. And no, the fact that I used to work with one of the band members’ mother plays no part in this post :)
I remember back in the days when I lived in South Africa, we struggled to get good international acts to come out and play intimate gigs. No longer, it seems, as I’ve just come across this stunning recording of The Tallest Man on Earth playing a live show in South Africa, in one of my […]
Ok, so this happened this morning. I’ve been trying all day to put something into words here, but try as I might I just can’t… I’m left speechless. All I have to say is: Matt Corby won Triplej today. Watch these. I promise you, you won’t regret it.

The band has teased us by road-testing quite a few of the rumoured new tunes while on tour; most recently, we wrote about “Home” here. They’ve now debuted possibly my favourite of the […]
So this is a few days late, but Ryan Adams recently appeared on WNYC to talk about (and perform an absolutely killer version of) his tune, “New York, New York”. As WNYC says: In the wake of 9/11, certain music that was recorded well before the attacks suddenly took on new meaning. Alt-country singer-songwriter Ryan […]
Sophomore album pressure? Looks like Mumford & Sons don’t know the meaning of the term. Despite having that ever-so-slightly weighty debut release hanging over their heads, the boys show no signs of feeling anxiety. First they brought us that beautiful cover of England, and now – thanks to KBCO – we can hear this live […]
