• Remember that old Steve Martin "The new phonebooks are here!" bit? Sure you do. If you don't, well…there's always the Internet to inform you. My point is, that was my exact response when I learned that the new DSM is released. Finally, I could figure out just what the HELL is wrong with me. If [...]
Cheers kids. My 24-hour bug seems to have subsided. I'm sure you were all waiting on pins and needles for an update on my health, right? No? Oh. Well, in any event, here's the mix tape I should have posted last night. I hope you enjoy it. RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to [...]
Our music is red with purple flashes, declared this British band, and such a description is highly accurate. Big, bold strokes, bursting with bright colors and flavors were the elements embedded within the Creation’s material. Clad in mod attire and flaunting a pop art flair, the band was visibly influenced by both the sound and image of the Who. But [...]
Calling all Bible fans – get your good books and head to where you hear all the commotion, there's a rumble about to happen. Dr Joseph Mastropaolo is a California scientist who also, somehow, believes that an invisible man created the world in 7 days to prove some kind of celestial point. Dr Joseph Mastropaolo - an adult human being that still believes in fairy tales written in an old book - has issued a challenge with a prize of $10,000 to anyone who can prove in front of a judge that science disproves the Bible's book of Genesis, [...]
We're being treated to a wonder as only the 'net could offer to us. One by one, we've been allowed to peer into the window and see how good kid, [...] The post Terrace Martin Explains The Creation Of Kendrick Lamar's "Real" appeared first on The Smoking Section .
Read my first post on the presentation of music and an introduction to this series here . “Anyone that works in music knows it's not just about sitting home writing songs. It's about multimedia. I don't mean to say that I'm like a marketing executive at Facebook, but it's always about putting [yourself] out there as a phenomenon - as a culture itself. There is no same road to take as an artist, that a label will set out for you. It's like a wilderness now to find people. You have to do everything. And I see [...]
Alan McGee is, reckons Louder Than War , thinking of bringing back Creation: Rumours have increased in the last hour though as Gun Club Cemetery (who we featured as a New Band of the Day yesterday, interviewing Alex Lowe) tweeting they have signed to Creation. It’s rumour at the moment with the only signs the legendary label, once home to Oasis, Super Furry Animals and others, is back in business coming from the band and their manager. A revival of Creation? Wasn't that what we were all praying for? Admittedly, we were praying for it [...]
Aiming to shake up house music and the wider student offerings from venues in Canberra- introducing the core mission of new club night Rhythm Confidential. The brainchild of DJ Luke Tkalcevic, bartender Matt Nimmo, and Daddy Issues contributor Nic Sheehan, Rhythm Confidential was born out of the frustration surrounding the disconnect between quality bar and club experiences that are in the reach of the limited price range of students. “We basically wanted to take what we have enjoyed from our collective global clubbing experiences and roll it into one. The most important aspects of a great night out [...]
YOU may have noticed, on the about the author thingy on the right of this post, reference to 'cult' acts I have been part of. One of these was 'underground' act The Haze - and cleaning out my attic I found a CD of creations! Listen to one above and visit http://soundcloud.com/isaacash e for more, including free downloads.
Here's something rather beautiful I spotted on Facebook today via The Doctrine of Oneness . The basic principle is visible to all - "We are all created from the same stardust… everything in the Universe is connected by the same energy… the same patterns… the same structures organized in different ways…"
Despite being 'the most populous city of the U.S. state of Idaho' ( ta muchly, Wikipedia ) nowt none too inspired seems to have seeped outta Boise of late, nor indeed ever. Such narrow-minded, largely misinformed illation, twinned with my steadfast dislike for Trevor Powers' Youth Lagoon lulling and distaste for huckleberry shake pretty well subjectively renders LERK about the best cultural output Boise has to offer. Thus whoever lurks behind the moniker may be framed up alongside Built to Spill's Brett Nelson as a cultural ambassador for the place in my shortsighted blinkers. Anyhow, if Soundcloud chronology [...]
According to a new Gallup poll : 46% of Americans believe in creationism - defined as: God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so. 32% of Americans believe in theistic evolution - defined as: Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process 15% of Americans believe in evolution - defined as: Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part [...]
Dear Protestors protesting something: Get a fucking job already. I don't care if you flip burgers or take tickets at a theater Do something so you're not sucking off your parents tit already. Learn a little respect and then once you realize how complicated things really are maybe you will contribute a little something to society. I don't care if it's in back-alley or on the corner even that is a service but as the Butthole Surfers say ...it's better to regret something you've done than something you haven't... [...]
SINGLE REVIEW: We like our jangle garage psyche and this track by Black Manila called "Fiasco" is right in the sweet spot of all groovy things 602s. Naming their top 5 influential bands as The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, T-Rex, The Stooges and John Lee Hooker. These are some pretty big corner stones that Liam Ramsden, Conrad Armstrong and Gareth Hoskins aka Sun King are taking on but would also say something a little New Wave is ingrained too. This new track by them is less drone than the VU with more of a sculptured song as there [...]
Frienddad is an Australian made independent sitcom parody, which tells the story of Travis Little (played by co-creator Tavis Urquhart) who wakes up one morning to find that his best friend Cameron Biggs (played by co-creator and Canberra ex-pat Callum Padgham) has not only slept with his mum, but has now taken it upon himself to be the best dad that he can be.

Approaching the release of his eagerly anticipated album The Politics of Envy (due out March 26th via Future Noise Music), Mark Stewart has joined forces with fellow subversive musical compatriot Bobby Gillespie and his band, Primal Scream, to release the video for his first single ‘Autonomia.’ I forgot to post this Mark Stewart / Bobby Gillespie video last week, so if every corner of the musical Blog-sphere is blasting out this visual freakout, my apologies for adding to the overall splendor. A quick [...]
