I’m not even sure I would go and see them, but I’m still pissed about Gnarls Barkley stopping in Ak only on their NZ tour. What the hell as Auckland got that we don’t?

Had I been born a few years earlier, I could have been watching Sesame Street on April 28, 1973. Unfortunately I was not.

While still fitting within the ‘neo-Radiohead’ sound that Bloc Party carved with ‘Silent Alarm’, ‘A Weekend in the City’ is a sophomore effort that is likely to garner more mainstream success than their debut. Dealing with a host of social issues, it’s a concept album in the sense it explores life in London (hence the [...]
