Sea Breezes and Comet Scars

Sea Breezes and Comet Scars Wild Nothing 's Nowhere single from last year was an obvious tribute to the Go-Betweens . Australia's Dick Diver have done one better. An entire album that could be construed as a tribute to that great band. The Melbourne quartet is the primary band of Rupert Edwards and Al McKay. They get help from the moonlighting Steph Hughs ( Boomgates ) and Al Montfort ( Lower Plenty, The UV Race, Total Control and Straightjacket Nation ). All four members contribute songs to the record which provides some variety, but for the [...]

Movie of the Week - Out There: Postcard Records

Movie of the Week - Out There: Postcard Records Thanks to Kyle , we have a full slate of Scottish music-related docs on the schedule for this weekend. We get things off on the good foot with this television doc about Postcard Records. Postcard was a Glasgow-based independent record label founded by Alan Horne & Edwyn Collins in 1979, as a vehicle for Orange Juice and Josef K releases. The label's motto was "The Sound of Young Scotland", a parody/tribute to the Motown motto, "The sound of young America." Although short-lived, Postcard was to prove a [...]

Seapony: “See Me Cry”

Seapony: “See Me Cry” The start of the seapony-tail? Hey, long time no blog! Sorry about the unplanned hiatus last week - well, that is to say, I was on vacation, in Austin, TX, and that wasn't unplanned. Just the lack of blogging. Turns out there was no time, what with the busy tourist schedule we were trying to accomplish. But let me just say that I highly recommend taking some time to visit Austin - it lives up to all that I'd heard about what a great city it is - musically, food-wise, [...]

The Enduring Mysteries Behind 10 Great Love Songs

Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen
A few weeks back, we looked at the true stories behind some of our favorite love songs. It's always fascinating to hear a definitive account of what inspired one of your favorite tunes, but it can be equally enthralling to try to puzzle it out on your own. And, of course, in some cases that's all you can do, because it may well be that the songwriter in question isn't providing any answers. So it goes with these tunes, which are all the more fascinating because of the mystery surrounding exactly who they're about. [...]

Who Could Say No? The Clicky Clicky Interview With She, Sir’s Russell Karloff

Who Could Say No?  The Clicky Clicky Interview With She, Sir’s Russell Karloff [Photo: Aubrey Edwards] In our attention-deficient indie rock universe, where "flavor of the month" has devolved into "flavor of the day," music fans all too often encounter artists willing to sacrifice aspects of their art to the hype machine. Afflicted acts evince over-confident songwriting, album-leak scatter shots and hackneyed imagery. It's gotten to the point that when a band invests completely, humbly into their art alone, the audacity of such an act makes them stand out. Which brings us to Austin-based dream pop heroes She, Sir . The act first caught Clicky Clicky's attention five [...]

INTERVIEW: Wild Nothing

INTERVIEW: Wild Nothing Wild Nothing snuck up on a lot of people with 20102s Gemini LP , a record made by then 21 year old Virgina Tech student Jack Tatum on his own in his Blacksburg bedroom. Before Tatum knew it, the album's melancholy dream pop sounds had charmed their way into the heads and hearts of an unexpectedly large audience and thrust him into the indie limelight. Two years and countless shows later the band will make their first trip to Australia for the 2013 edition of the Golden Plains Music [...]

LOOK: Good Sniff draws ‘Pig City’

LOOK: Good Sniff draws ‘Pig City’ Local illustrator Good Sniff has gone to the liberty of sketching more than 300 individual faces belonging to 106 Brisbane bands. "It got to a point about midyear where I’d be scooting around in the Valley and I’d recognise people because I’d drawn their faces. Which is creepy". He describes it as "character design exercise that got waaaay out of hand". Do take a closer peek at this - it's scarily accurate, even if nearly everyone here looks a little seedy. My favourites are Violent Soho looking like [...]

Today's Hotness: Calories, Hospitality, Fashoda Crisis, Soccer Mom

Today's Hotness: Calories, Hospitality, Fashoda Crisis, Soccer Mom >> Birmingham, England-based indie punk heroes Calories resurfaced last week with the blistering tune "Summer's Not," a non-album freebie and precursor to the act's planned third full-length. No release date or title for the forthcoming long-player have been revealed as of yet. Interestingly, the band's Facebook page (which lists Calories ' interests as "swimming | minimalism") states that Dominique James -- formerly of Sunset Cinema Club and most recently best known as the engineer/producer of a number of Johnny Foreigner recordings -- is now a member of Calories, swelling its personnel [...]

Boomgates Do It Naturally

Boomgates Do It Naturally There is something about certain Australian bands and records: The Go-Betweens ' 16 Lovers Lane, Paul Kelly and Coloured Girls ' Gossip, the Triffids' Born Sandy Devotional, the Church 's Of Skins and Heart, the Lucksmiths ' Warmer Corners, the Saints ' I'm Stranded, Twerps ' debut, Eddy Current Suppression Ring 's Rush to Relax. A diverse set of albums, but all them have something about them that sets them apart and makes them distinctly Australian. They have a sense of  urgency and isolation, a poetry about them and a way of sounding [...]

10 Reunion Albums That Are Actually Worth Your Time

Redd Kross - Researching The Blues
Band reunions: they're a dicey business, as far as fans are concerned, because they risk tarnishing the memory of the band in question's glory days. Sometimes they do exactly that, but occasionally a band get back together and make a record that's as good — or sometimes actually better — than their back catalog. Such records are few and far between, but one of them came along this week: Researching the Blues , the new studio album by the recently reunited Redd Kross. In celebration of that band's return, we thought we'd have a look [...]

Eternal Summers – Correct Behavior

Eternal Summers – Correct Behavior Rating: 4 out of 5 stars It’s hard these days to find a blow-your-mind pop record that will last you longer than on or two listens without boring you. Often, I’ll fall in love with an album that falls flat upon further inspection, so when I first listened to Correct Behavior , I assumed that it would be once again another throw-away album, but Eternal Summers have a bit more in store than that. You can’t really blame me for believing that [...]

The Next 30 Day Song Challenge - day 26

THE GO BETWEENS "Right Here"
Day 26 - Your favourite song by a group I think today's challenge is a bit confusing, to be honest. Am I being asked to pick my favourite song that happens to have been performed by a group, or is just a case of picking your favourite song by a random group? For the sake of variety I'm going for the latter suggestion. I'm then going to immediately contradict myself by plumping for a jingly-jangly song from the [...]

Maxïmo Park covers The Go-Betweens

Maxïmo Park covers The Go-Betweens Amazon It's always amused me the amount of hand-wringing there seems to occur here in North America over the use of the word "independent" - or "indie", as the kids say - as a musical adjective and/or genre while over in the UK, its been accepted as a legitimate descriptor for decades, even to the point of there existing compilation albums dedicated to celebrating its endurance. That was ostensibly the mandate of Independents Day: ID08 , released in 2008 and featuring one disc of covers with current independent artists covering their forbears [...]

FLASHBACK: The Go-Betweens

FLASHBACK: The Go-Betweens Brisbane has never truly been accepted as a hive of cultural progression with the same enthusiasm as Australia’s other great cities, and this is particularly true when discussion turns to music. To me, this has always been perplexing: Brisbane has played home to some of Australia’s biggest indie game changers. Don’t believe me? Well, first of all, you should be ashamed of yourself, naysayer . Second of all, I submit for your consideration THE GO-BETWEENS , one of the most important bands of the Eighties and Nineties at home and abroad. [...]
