It's spring, but it feels like summer. It was winter when Richard Macfarlane hit me with this meme. The months have raced. List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be ...
The line between art and architecture, and what makes urban spaces sing is something close to my heart, so I jumped at the chance to cover Concrete Culture - a show at COFA-UNSW's Ivan Dougherty Gallery - on my show on FBI. Richard Goodwin, one of the featured artists, ...
Watching Jamie Lidell on stage it's all too easy to see his thing as one gigantic piss-take. The crazy outfits, the big soul numbers. He was dressed in Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat the first time I saw him, in early 2004 at the Sydney Festival bar. He's got ...
This hot and heavy EP has the manic air of a tropical city; it just about throbs with the heat, humidity and isolation of Brisbane’s cabin fever local scene. A lunatic roller coaster ride, it’s quite unlike the usually purist sounds from this country (capital-d dubstep, etc). Tracking its way ...

My ears are still ringing. I've been looking forward to Ed Kuepper's gig at the Basement for ages. And what we could hear through the noise sounded like it was probably good, but the sound was so loud. So loud. All I could hear around me was ...
Boris Sudjovic - If You Want Love Ja Rule - Love Me Hate Me Devastations- The Face of Love Ratcat - Time Bomb (of Hate) Modeselektor - Let Your Love Grow (feat Paul St. Hilaire) Plan B - I Don't Hate You Lil Jon (Chopped & Screwed) - Lovers & Friends (feat Usher & Ludacris) Brett Anderson ...
I wrote this review for Cyclic Defrost, but realised Max Schaefer beat me to the punch. So here's my take. Gudrun Gut's debut solo album hasn't attracted the kind of desperately hyperbolic prose heaped upon Panda Bear's latest. I've caught myself wondering why, given it seems, ...
