As Torrance Shipman once said in the 2000 classic, Bring It On , "Missy's the poo...so take a big whiff." While that quote doesn't really apply here (aside from suggesting that Gaga is indeed 'the poo'), the point is this: As the driving force behind the writing and recording process of her music, the creative director of her album artwork, music videos, tour visuals, merchandising and just about every other minute facet of her career, Lady Gaga is a very new kind of pop star; one that sings live, writes and records, dances, styles photoshoots, [...]
How can I justify myself giving a "review" on B.B. King . I can't, so here are the thoughts that rushed into my head during this incredible show. I'll be brief.
Firstly, B.B. King is 84. Unfortunately, he won't be playing forever. If you have not seen him and his band play, or are not planning to at some point, you have lost out.
On to the show. The first thing that came to mind when the band was setting up the stage was that these fine gentlemen control the stage [...]
Eternal question: how to leave the rock, how to rock the rock? We no want to go away, we a want to stay. Love home, rep home. But yard hard. No soul want a be forever down, stepped upon. We assert ourselves against authority. We our own authority. But everyday downpressor on our back in everyway. What we gon do? The upward struggle of our living down-under make our music come strong, got to be tuff enuff to stand forward in the shit-storm. Take a little woman like this here hummingbird Cherine who sing eagle strong. [...]

The true test of a pop artist destined for longevity is shown through their follow up release to such a successful debut. LADY GAGA departs from her obsession with fame and fortune and moves on to the darker side of slick produced pop/dance music on The Fame Monster . Overall the album sounds reminiscent of Britney's Blackout with a much darker twist. Her vocals sound much more consistent than the previous album. While she could easily cobbled together a re-package including just one [...]
If you haven't figured it out by now, retro rock is back, and in a very big way. Why you ask? There's a generation that's grown up listening to baby boomers tell us how cool their day was, and how we all missed out and are shit out of luck. That generation has since taken the music from 30 to 40 years ago (that's been pounded into our brain as "the best there ever was"), and turned it into our own amalgamation of everything that made rock awesome all those decades ago. Last night's show with 70's proto-metal [...]
The tooth-shatteringly loud Battle For Paris are a band I've seen live twice now and been consecutively impressed with. So in your face and confrontational sounding that it belies how good the music is. It's not just fight music, their sound is awesome. The "With A Gun Between Your Teeth, You Only Speak In Vowels" EP is their debut release, on the brighton based Tangled Talk records and it opens with the frankly fantastic and live favourite of mine, "Fuck Your Deja Vu" which I blogged before in a previous gig review. The song is a perfect choice for the [...]
Safe sex may be what's socially responsible, but that doesn't get around the fact that treating your gee williker like a prisoner at Abu Ghraib is plain ol' cruel. If you really do have to wrap it up... here's what I suggest. And even a few that are weird, even for my taste. TUXEDO CONDOM Nothing says, "I don't have the clap" like the tuxedo condom. If this came with a monocle I would definitely pretend I was the Monopoly guy while I did the Lord's work. [...]
Jim O'Rourke - "Happy Days" (16 kbps, 47:33) "It's like a spy story," she whispered, as they made love for the first time in six weeks. "We're here, gettin' off on each other--" he snickered through his teeth "--don't laugh, that's what it is, isn't it? We're here, and the whole rest of the bus is just sittin' there, they have no idea this is going on, you know? We could do anything, you could kill me, strangle me to death, or I could kill you I guess. Or I could have a baby in here. I guess [...]
Seven years ago Bristol Brit-Industrialists, Sunna , dropped off the face of the Earth - but now they're back. Hugh Platt tracked down frontman Jon Harris for some answers. It was a series of happy online co-incidences that alerted us to the return of Sunna - a Twitter post here, leads to a blog entry there, and before we knew it we were firing off questions to Jon Harris about the band's new album, Two [...]

Devendra Banhart - "Baby" . I was at a party. We were nodding, laughing, twisting caps from bottles and making introductions. Then someone lifted up his laptop and tilted the screen so we could see. What did it show? It showed a sad baby . Conversation stopped. Bottlecaps stayed put. Someone said this word: "Aw". The word, written down, does not give credit to the feeling. We felt very bad for this baby. All of us did. It was so sad! // Later, someone had photos - or better yet, videos - of happy babies. Of laughing babies. Of [...]
