We all know summer means music festivals. We also all hopefully know that Australia celebrates summer when we're battling winter. So it makes senses that with Australia's summer quickly approaching, many of the country's major music events are starting to finalize their 2010 festivities, the first being Big Day Out . For its 18th edition, Australia's largest outdoor music event has tapped the likes of Muse, The Decemberists, The Mars Volta, the newly unretired Lily Allen, Peaches, Rise Against, Mastodon, Kasabian, Dizzee Rascal, Powderfinger, Ladyhawke, the Horrors, and Girl Talk.

Last week Triple J announced its most recent Hottest 100 Songs of All Time countdown, as voted on by the public, and as is always the case with such things, I read the list with varying amounts of dismay and incredulity. And a large amount of "I shouldn't care about this so why am I allowing this foolishness to piss me off?" I won't bore you all with my pithy shallow analysis, but I will say this - while I don't mind Nirvana and I quite like 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', I certainly don't think it's the 'hottest song of [...]

Not one of my better posts. Not doing very well today and just trying to MAKE it through the day, one step at a time. But it isn't easy. All I can do is try and try again. Will I ever really make it? I am not sure but all I know is I can't stop trying..... You can make it That's what they all say The road is littered with obstacles The path is narrow and winding You struggle through the maze You [...]

Ray LaMontagne If you download or buy any CD's in October, make sure it's Ray LaMontagne's Gossip In the Grain . I downloaded the album a couple hours ago and I love it. Keep in mind that I-tunes pulls a bait and switch with the release; you have to buy the entire album to get the live tracks. Bullshit move, but if Ray makes $$ off of it then it's cool. Download/Buy: The Herbaliser - Can't Help This Feeling (iTunes) Keane - [...]

"Dream Days at the Hotel Existence" è il sesto album della band di Brisbane. Uscito
Dear universe: It's awesome that you got me free tickets to the Georgie James / Aqueduct show because it ruled. However, it's not awesome when I lose the footage I shot of Aqueduct performing Warren G's "Regulate" and when both my Internet service is down and the water in my building is shut off practically all day. You're lucky that I have tomorrow's Duran Duran tribute night at Neo to make up for it. Kthnxbye! Powderfinger [...]
Random Six Mix is a series where I will pick randomly (six tracks) from my iTunes library and attempt to write something (good or bad) about the tracks I land on. Rundgren's 1972 ballad from the concept album Something/Anything? shines on just like the first time you heard it on the AM dial. mp3 Hello It's Me Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light & Other Hits This one was a previously unreleased track on the Prince compilation Hits [...]
