Cassette Kids

Ah the old ‘take my email address in exchange for a low quality MP3 and spam me for the remainder of my natural life’ trick.
Alrighty then, I don’t use my Hotmail account anyhoo. I know Steve from Blouse does though. What a douche.
Head over here to get a snippet from the new [...]

The Scare

Not the biggest Scare fan, but they’re definitely riling some feathers with their debut Oozevoodoo (whatever the fuck that is/was/will be).
Their current single, Could Be Bad is being pummeled on indy radio around Australia right now, it’s hard to miss.. it’s a bit Paper Scissors, a bit Klaxons… maybe a really angry version of Dukes [...]

Fear of Tigers

He’s back – and he’s towing a metric fucktonne of stardust and rainbow-maned-unicorns behind him with this new remix for popsters-du-jour Visitor.
Los Feeling has been pummeled on Hype M… the stems have been cast to the four winds, and a twinkly forest of sub-par to par remixes have emerged from the soil.

The Bag Raiders’ Shooting Stars Tour

Sigh.

The Nextdoor Neighbors

Ridiculously endearing, this offbeat electro folk/pop duo released their debut album, Magic Vs the Machine, on Bicycle Records late last year, and it’s quite an impish little affair. With Kathy Cotes on keys and Jessie Hill on [...]

Friday Jams

These Flashmen guys have the best MySpace background I’ve ever seen. Anyone know who did it? I’d like to have a bedspread and matching pillow set made out of those graphics. They’d look good in my red racing car bunk bed, which also matches my red hair which also matches my incredible hold over young [...]

Poligono

I have got no desire to go to Mexico. Between this, this and a really scarring experience I had down at Madmex on Crown St (shutup don’t want to talk about it stop talking)… well I’ve kinda made up my mind, amigo, that Mexico is not for me-o.
Feeling like Bondi Burrito for dinner [...]
