I’m often ridiculed for my office drumming (the beauty about wearing headphones is that no one knows how bad you suck), but should I ever really want to annoy my work colleagues this would be the way to do it. These babies are the mi Jam Motion sensitive Drummer Drumsticks – which you can plug [...]

Scensters use Pitchfork as a near bible for music opinion, and thanks to it’s record reviews I’ve uncovered some music I would never had approached had the reviews not been so glowing (Peter, Bjorn and John’s ‘Writers Block’ comes to mind). So it’s pretty cool that they’re giving big ups to the new Crowded House [...]

You better get your Prime reception sorted. Not only is the funniest nightly sports show found there (The Crowd Goes Wild – Monday to Friday at 7pm) but HBO’s Flight of the Conchords will also be played on Prime later this year. The second episode was a bit of a let down, but episodes 3-5 [...]

For some reason I can’t recall (I think it was baby related), I punked out on seeing Interpol last year at the Union Hall. I wish I could go back in time and slap myself upside the head. Interpol’s ‘Turn On The Bright Lights’ and ‘Antics’ don’t frequent my playlist so much anymore (thanks to [...]

Back when they were really, really good, the Foo’s were easily my favourite band. The Colour and The Shape and their self-titled debut album were pretty much the only albums I listened to for a year (until Ok Computer came along as I remember). Somewhere between ‘In Your Honour’ and ‘Skin and Bones’ I lost [...]
