Last friday night , Katy Perry celebrated her 27th birthday with a wild west-themed party that puts any fiesta you've ever attended to shame. The "One That Got Away" singer was decked out in cowgirl, complete with matching cowhide bra and pants, pink chaps and a vest with "B Day Girl" spelled out in faux bullet holes across her back. Adam Lambert and boyfriend Sauli Koskinen arrived dressed as (sexy) Indians. The belle of the hoedown had to be Robyn (sorry Katy), who dressed as the most fantastic cactus we've ever seen. Check out pics from what the [...]

I hit another birthday today. I've decided to take my age into my own hands and have deducted a few rings off the old tree trunk. I certainly feel a fuckload younger than my chronometer, so what the hell. Besides, anytime anyone guesses my age, they go about 10 years younger than I am. I figure this won't deter the grim reaper, but I've been playin' with the houses money since I was about 20 anyway. A quick check finds me far in the red with regard to where my financial prospects were supposed to be. As my [...]

Three albums from seminal Austrailian post-punk outfit The Birthday Party will be getting a limited vinyl reissue from Drastic Plastic Records in early December.

Last weekend, we attended the Bugged Out! 17th Birthday bash. Much fun was had by all. Erol was good, Boys Noize was good, Matt Walsh was good, Canblaster was good, everything was really bloody good. Our new friend Daruma Vision was there to document the nights antics. Prepare to be very, VERY jealous. P.S. Check out our cheeky mention in the credits.

8th birthdays are usually tremendous affairs. Cake, candles, balloons, presents, maybe a clown. No such frivolities for Phonica Records. Instead they booked out the normally wonderful 3-arched Great Suffolk Street Warehouse and pulled together one of the most impressive lineups South London has seen all year. With Matt Tolfrey's Leftroom arch playing host to both Benoit & Sergio and Visionquest, and the Phonica arch featuring Joy Orbison and Soul Clap , you'd think you'd have the night covered. But it was former-Phonica-employee Heidi who had, for us, the winning arch. [...]
The last time we wrote about The Middle East back at the beginning of 2010 we envisaged great things for them. Just as we were getting excited by the prospect of the release of the Australian's full-length debut 'I Want That You Are Always Happy' we found out they had decided to call it quits. [...]

It's an odd thing, to be writing about how good a band's music is and how they were gaining lots of fans, just as news spreads that they have decided to call it quits. While they formed in 2005, perhaps it should've been clear that longevity wasn't quite in the cards for this wonderful outfit [...]
