It's coming on 2012, and all around us, bloggers tout their 2011 taste, jostling to be the best and first match for your own preferences, inviting debate over position in the ranks. And so, as we do every year as the calendar comes to a close, we struggle with the conceit of The Year In Review, surveying a year's worth of posts, writing a never-ending series of half-hearted drafts, flinching every time we approach the task, yet feeling guilt every time we put it down. My reluctance to pass judgement isn't a cop-out. [...]
The Active Set - Famous For Dying Yesterday I tweeted a non-sequitor, "rest when yr dead." As is fun with such things, I got a rad response from this LA-based pop rock band pointing to thier brand new, hilarious video where they get eaten by zombies and finish the song dead. Sure, why not? It's almost Halloween, right? Directed by Lior Molcho .

Listening to Allen Stone live reminds me of a scene from that seminal film, "Anchorman", where Ron Burgundy finally beds the woman of his dreams, Veronica Corningstone, and the intimate exchange sends them on a wild ride into Pleasure Town, where they gallop on the backs of gleaming white unicorns, down rainbows amidst a star-filled sky. For better or worse, I venture to say a similar sense of elation and pleasure is obtained by listening to Allen Stone live. Seattle Weekly music reviewer Todd Hamm's review of Stone's self-titled sophomore album, [...]

Sydney group WIM have just signed with kool kids Modular Records, but they aren't writing French electro house. These guys have that classic pop/rock sound, which makes there tracks seem familiar but in no way contrived. They are smartly crafted pop songs, that bounce and pulse with so much energy they could to power a ferriswheel. Their debut record, out mid year, has been done with local Tony Buchen (Tim Finn, Lior) on production duties and go to mastering god Bob Ludwig (Bowie, Radiohead, Coldplay) brought in to give it [...]

I have now been married almost four months. And as evidence that married life directly affects the amount of free time a person has I submit this blog post. It has been four months and I am just now getting around to posting the music that I played at my wedding. As with almost every decision that surrounds a wedding (and a healthy marriage) a great deal of compromise went into this list of songs. At certain points in the list (and I will make sure to point them out) I was given free [...]
